Ok men, this is a day late, but just as valid as if I had
written it yesterday.
This lesson comes as much from life-experience as anything I
have ever heard or read. In as much as you and my fellow men need to feel
respected in order to know we are loved, our wives need to feel “cherished”
This is a tall order, if you think not consider the words
of The Apostle Paul; “HUSBANDS, LOVE
YOUR WIVES, JUST AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR HER . . .”
EPHESIANS 5:25
A newly-wed husband recently asked me, “When am I going to
figure out my wife?” Isn’t that just lie a man? Give me the instructions, tell
me what to do and I can make this thing work! Give me the code now and I will
be gold for the next 60 years or whatever we might have together . . . I answered the young groom as honestly as I could, “NEVER! About the time you begin to know what pushes her buttons,
the buttons will change! Once you know where they are, the buttons will move!”
The young man look like he wanted to cry. I said, “Son, Marriage; like life is
a journey, not a destination! "
I can’t ‘tell’ you how to cherish your wife, but she can and if you listen, she will
and those directions will change about as often as you change your socks. You
can only hope that you are doing your best, in loving her as she needs, in as
much as you are in constant communication with her. Doesn’t the love of Christ
Always find us, regardless of where we are? And so must your love always be
there for her. The only way to define it or where it should be is to be in
constant communication with her. This much I can promise, the only love which
will allow her to know that she is cherished is the love that is costly to you.
Real, eternal, unconditional love will cost you EVERYTHING, ETERNALLY. You must
not only be willing to lay down your life for your wife; real love can be
experienced by any lesser price.
But in the words of a wise man; “THE ONE WHO LOVES HIS WIFE,
LOVES HIS LIFE” EPHESIANS 5:28 AMEN!
