Loving and Leading your wife…


Hello Husbands,

It can be difficult to keep up with all of the demands on our lives. But if you’re married, and especially if you’re married with children you definitely need to keep your wife at the top of your priority list. As men, we can usually push through the wall of business easier than our wives, and unfortunately forget that they are doing their best to stay at our sides while covered with debris. If we forget to love them in the midst of leading them they can begin to feel like just another thing that we manage and their emotional fuel gauges eventually hit empty.
Leading and loving our wives means WE take the responsibility to carve out time for us to hear from them. We need to protect them from the demands on their lives by lovingly checking in and making sure that they are saying no to things they need to say no to. We to check in and acknowledge and affirm all that they are doing in the home alone while we’re at work with co-workers to relate to and lean on. Here are five great questions that Pastor, Perry Noble, recommends we ask our wives during the time we have carved out to connect with and listen to them.

1.       What is the most romantic thing I have ever done for you?
2.       What is something fun we can do together?
3.       What is one thing I can do this week that will relieve stress from your life?
4.       How can I pray for you?
5.       If you could change one thing about our marriage, what would it be?

Together in the battle,

Pastor Mac
