*A mans responsibility to make it easier

 

 

Honor GK tee-may accord honor, pay respect") – properly, perceived value; worth (literally, "price") especially as perceived honor – i.e. what has value in the eyes of the beholder; (figuratively) the value (weight, honor) willingly assigned to something.

 

Lets dumb this down for those who went to public school like me: You honor your husband and his value… and why is he valuable? Because he saw the value in you, and chose you above others.

It’s like this - someone gives you a brand new Zora Corvette - it is a limited production corvette, very rare… do you honor the car and take care of it? Yes… but you also honor the person who gave it to you because they chose you.

Ladies, you are given a Saint Laurent handbag valued at 4k… do you honor and take care of that YES - do you also honor the person who gave it to you? Yes.

You don’t honor your husband because you are subservient, and he demands it, and scripture commands it… no. Think about it - he could date a hundred different woman, for a hundred different reasons… but he honored you by choosing you and now you can honor his decision by honoring him. 

The danger when we speak of this post marriage is women disguise their lack of honor by saying… well if I had known then what I know now-  I would have married someone who loved me better, took care of me better, made my life easier - AND THEN I WOULD HONOR THEM. Again, thats not honor, that is blackmail. 

I am not saying if your husband is violent, abusive (and lets be honest, that term is overused in todays world… but anyway) if you are physically in danger, get out, move out, divorce him. But usually in todays world we think that if marriage isn’t easy, we married the wrong person. Everyone marries the wrong person… everyone is a mismatch. 

Lets chase a rabbit for a second… our enemy satan blows things out of proportion when it comes to marriage issues because he knows it causes greater destruction… 

Ok, again let me explain. When we hear a sermon on “love your neighbor as you love yourself” We realize we need Gods help, his strength, his wisdom, his grace in order to love our neighbors (and neighbor means anyone we are currently around in life) if this was a sermon we would all say amen, yes I need to work on that.

But when it comes to our spouse… our husband, we cringe, we lash out, we make excuses, we falter, we blow it off - because again, if satan can get us to neglect the responsibilities God has given us for marriage he knows it will destroy the family and ultimately America. God is so in love with the idea of marriage - he created it and he uses it as his example of the church and the Father. 

Now I will say it again… what I am called to do during hard times, suffering, discouragement… especially in marriage - what I am called to do is gut busting hard - but I won’t waste this opportunity to call on Gods grace and allow his spirit to flow in me, through me and make me more like Jesus. 

Ladies, is it hard to Love, Respect and Honor your husbands? Don’t waste this opportunity to be more like Jesus.
