Husband loves your wife July 9, 2007
Posted by Han in : Family and Children , trackbackHusbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25
Can you still remember the time when you are in a courtship or dating? Those great moments you spent together with your wife (back then your girlfriend). The very first time you brought her out. Both of you went to eat, catch a movie or walk along the beach.
You dressed the best and put on some perfume. Most of the time, you were punctual and never late. You were generous and you paid all the bills. You were caring and you make sure that everything was taken care of.
Time spent together was often not enough. You wished there were 25 hours a day. Back at home you would pick up the phone and give her a ring. You will talk and talk! 2-3 hours would easily passed by. There were so many things to talk about. Once you put down the phone you couldn’t wait to see her tomorrow.
Husband! Can you pause for a moment, before you read on, please spend some time to think back those wonderful moment you had with your wife….
Well, you say that was many years back or that is only for the young couple but it is not true! In fact, courtship or dating should not end in marriage. It should be continued and even more intense than before (I can hear all the sisters saying a big AMEN). The problem with men is the moment they get married they think that they have gotten their wives and full stop, that’s it, no more!
Now they start to concentrate on building their career. Responsibilities and commitments start to pile up. Often they are caught up and sometimes they are lost in it! At this time their wives will often feel neglected by their husbands. And their wives would find such a big contrast before and after married!
Wives would probably think that their husbands have changed, he is different from before, but it is not true! Actually the husbands only shift their focus! Now they are concentrating on their responsibility to provide for the family. They equate love to providing. But their wives still want that “feeling”!
I am writing this article to remind all husbands. Our responsibility is to provide, nothing wrong with that! But to love also means to return back to those day of courtship and dating. Woman needs to be loved and cared for before or after married. They need to be treasured. They need your attention. Husbands need to fulfil that love and emotional needs. I don’t mean that you don’t have to work but just give them sufficient attention, care and love.
Husbands, love your wives. This is the commandment of the bible. Do not dilute the commandment of love! To love is to shower all your attention, care and love.

Good to see someone doing this. Personally my ways are wicked and I need to turn from them. I want to do right but can’t seem to quite grasp that concept. My sins are many and I haven’t kept the ten commandments. All I can do is beg Jesus for forgiveness. I beg of anyone who sees these comments not to do the things I’ve done.
Hi Mike, I think none of us are perfect. Many of us are still struggling in one way or another. But the important thing is to learn and move forward (one step at a time). As for this article, I wish we (men) can pause for a moment and appreciate, love and care for our wives. Do not neglect or take them for granted! They have already done a great deal of things for us.
