*and what’s their problem if they can’t do these 5 things.

*A mans responsibility to make it easier

 

 

1 Peter 3:1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 

Ladies this again speaks of the power of submission… but lets continue. 

2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

 

Ephesians 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

 

Christ gave up his life… for the church. He did not give it up because she whined… He gave up his life for what is best for the church. Husbands you don’t have to die to every single request you wife makes, unless it is for what is best for your marriage… not just her, but both of you. Which means you may both disagree and need time to pray about it.

 

Ephesians 5:28

In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

 

I don’t know of anyone who hates himself outright. God calls us to love our wives as we love ourselves. That means to love your wife in the way she wants to be loved and not the way you want to be loved. Again, knowing it will benefit the marriage and not just one party. 

 

Ephesians 5:33

Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

 

We are typically pretty forgiving of our mistakes, our sins and our laziness. We let a lot of things slide in our lives with little or no consequence. We are over weight, we are loud, some are lazy, some do not really read and pray, some have not pushed themselves to be the best in certain areas… and we are ok with that…. BUUUUUT, if it’s our wives- sometimes we are unfair in holding their feet to the fire.

 

Colossians 3:19

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Harsh - embitter, exasperate them, wear them out to where they just don’t care anymore and they just don’t love you anymore. 

 

Here is what you need to do.

1 Peter 3:7 Live a life that does not hinder your spiritual walk… There is nothing more sexy than a man who loves God, hears God speak to him, has a proven track record of hearing God and obeying, and with that who is willing to admit his mistakes, and ask for forgiveness when he blows it. 

but men do you make it easy for your wives to respect, love, honor, serve and submit to you as a husband? THATS YOUR JOB #1 IN YOUR MARRIAGE.
