| | Wife Checklist
Let him know you respect him.
Let him know you are on his side.
Let him know he is your hero.
Let him know that you enjoy him being the Spiritual Leader.
Tell him often how special he is to you.
Flash a flirty look to him from across the room.
Brag on him to others, especially to your children.
Keep yourself attractive and appealing to him.
Play and flirt with him.
Be his recreation companion.
Be a oasis for him to come home to and take refuge in from the day.
Let him know before, during and even days later that you enjoy making love with him.
Always speak with respect and love.
Edify him.
Refuse to be his conscious and simply pray.
Be a wife and play-mate and not a mother to him.
Abide in his decisions.
~All of these are done with the understanding that abuse is not in the marriage~
18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
18:4 The words of a man's mouth are `as' deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is `as' a flowing brook.
18:20 A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.
14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.
12:4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.
9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.

| I am not married, however, the Lord has instructed me on how to be a Godly wife to a Godly husband. Thank you for the post. It is most important that Jesus be the center of the marriage, respect one another (or honor one another), and for the husband to be the head of the household. Some women think that the latter means being a doormat - it does not. I used to think, before God instructed me, that I ran my own life. When in a marriage this is not the case. Women do not like the word submission, however, it is a very, very good word. |

| Working on it...it's only God that brought us through this far...and that's the truth. And there IS abuse of sorts. No one is beating the tar out of anyone, but with words, there are times. But it's not a practice. That's the main thing. That ol' ugly flesh takes over, and we don't abide in Him, we can be every bit as nasty and abusive as the person who never knew Christ....if we don't abide in Him... |

| Sister Cheryl, Behind every good man stands a great woman..... My wife tells me this very often. Truth is, I'm a little hen pecked, but that don't matter when you got the right hen. Brother Sanders |

Ladies, #1 on this list is #1 for a reason!!!! Wanna know why many men lose interest in their wives? It has nothing to do with the way you look! It's b/c you've stopped showing him respect! (And for PETE'S SAKE, don't tell him you respect him blah blah blah and then treat him like a child!!!)
Sorry Cher, this is coming from a guy's perspective, you can delete if you so choose! |

I am kind of siding with Mike here - with one slight alteration. Coming from a man's perspective, respect is a two-way thing - not just one. After all, in a marriage situation - both enter into a partnership (to be joined together and be by each others side) and women should not be treated like some sort of door mat to be trodden upon.
Although I think I know where you're coming from on this Cheryl, its OK saying that women should treat their men with respect, but like I've said, respect is a two-way thing - not just one. And like I will also say here. When"two" become "one", its the becoming bit that's the problem. People can be married to each other, live with each other, have children together - but never become that "one" that marriage is all about, therefore lead separate lives. Why? Because they don't respect each other. I will also say here, when one half comes from an abusive relationship, there's the tendency for that one half to be the dominant one. Its as if to say, I suffered in one relationship - its not going to happen again, and they take over and control them - and every situation they come into contact with. Believe me Cheryl, I've seen it happen. So going through that list again. How many men would agree that it applies to them also? |

| Mike's right. Read the book "Love and respect" by Eggerichs Emerson. It is based on the scripture in Ephesians about wives respecting their husbands and husbands loving their wives. |

| I read this one again and again.. because I forget about loving my husband.. I live in a multicultural marriage and respect here is different then in the States... my husband respects me by not showing me much affection in public..which really made me mad... he respected me by not going into the kitchen and making food..and no he wasn't kidding he really was raised that way... and I thought he was thoughtless..so I have learned to discuss what respect is and how I can apply it to my husband. Most of this list is wonderful.. but I think the word respect and the definition can be tricky and couples need to talk about it more.. Ex: I feel respected when you do this or I felt disrespected when this or that happens.
communication really helps in a Turkish/American marriage..I bet it's what makes all marriages work or not work. |
