How To Love Your Wife

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” Ephesians 5:25

Love is expressed in action. Consider how women have responded when asked to complete this sentence: “I wish my husband would love me by…”

• By listening to me.

• By noticing me more – not just when he wants sex.
• By saying ‘thank you’ for the things I do.
• By being interested in my life…at least acting like you’re interested.
• By showing affection when other people are around.
• By sharing his goals and values with me; talking his business over with me.
• By remembering me with little gifts or just planning an evening out.
• By taking me out without the kids more – maybe just for a ride.
• By including me in the things he does.
• By trying to understand me.
• By getting involved with things I enjoy doing.
• By just holding me in his arms and talking to me.
• By being tender and using kind, tender words.
• By helping in the discipline of the children.
• By saying little words of caring, compliments, and appreciation.
• By accepting me just as I am.
