4 Godly Rules For Every Married Man To Enjoy Their Wives by Nobody: 6:12pm On Aug 31, 2018 |
As a man if you want to enjoy your marriage with your wife endeavor to do the following. 1.Lead With Humility The reason there is such a debate about whether men ought to be leaders in a marriage relationship is because too many men have not led with humility. Men may be called by God to lead their wives, but our leadership should be selfless. Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves” (New International Version). Put this verse into practice, and it will solve 95 percent of the issues you face. I have never met a woman who says, “I resist my husband’s leadership even though he is very humble and Christlike.” The women I’ve met are craving godly leadership in their marriages. 2. Have Godly Courage First Corinthians 16:13 gives a clear definition of biblical masculinity: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.” Before we can be godly husbands, we must be men of courage. Wrapped up in that definition of what it means to be a man is the idea of courage. And the essence of courage is to have such a great fear of God that you fear nothing else. 3. Be a Provider The husband should bear the primary responsibility for the financial needs of the home. In fact, 1 Timothy 5:8 says if a man fails to provide for his household, he is worse than an infidel. That’s not the kind of reputation I want to have in the community. Part of the root meaning for the word provider means “to look ahead.” A provider is one who anticipates and does the strategic planning for the household. He thinks about the goals. Not just the financial goals, but the spiritual goals and emotional goals. In a sense, he is chief executive officer of the corporation. It’s his responsibility to set the direction. And many times his wife is the chief operating officer. The two of them need to unify their direction for the good of the family. 4. Love Her Biblically and Extravagantly To love her biblically, we need to ask, “What is God’s love for us like?” The essence of His love for us is reflected in His commitment to us and His sacrifice for us. That’s what our love for our wife needs to look like too. For me, it often means placing her needs ahead of my own. And it means that I will still sacrifice for her even when we disagree. She must be my priority. Remember the little line in the marriage vow, “Forsaking all others, until death do us part”? That means your relationship with your wife is more important than any other relationship — friends, your boss or even your children. Put simply, after our love for God, we must love our wives more than anything on earth. That is the essence of the marriage relationship. “If I want to find out whether a man was a Christian, I wouldn’t go to a minister; I’d go and ask his wife. “If a man doesn’t treat his wife right, I don’t want to hear him talk about Christianity. What is the use of talking about salvation for the next life if he has no salvation for this life?” CC Lalasticlala, Dominique 2 Likes 1 Share |

ThatIjawBoy: For you to know that I have a girlish behavior you must have been following me around on nairaland. Whether I behave like a woman, man,transgender or not is inconsequential. My life, my choice. This is the height of joblessness. Do you have a life outside nairaland? If yes, find something productive to do with your time. |

Hanseel1:shut up. I will quote you if I want to. |
Re: 4 Godly Rules For Every Married Man To Enjoy Their Wives by Nobody: 9:37am On Sep 02, 2018 |
Hanseel1:Being unnecessarily aggressive will never hide your insecurity. I see clearly your low self esteem and how desperately you try to boost your deflected ego on here. Be a man, know your worth, accept who you are and live your life. Whatever people on here think of you shouldn't have a negative impact on you. You are what you are and the world is what it is . |

Re: 4 Godly Rules For Every Married Man To Enjoy Their Wives by Nobody: 9:44am On Sep 02, 2018 |
QueenSekxy:Lol... He was cooler when he was preacbills. His doom began the day he shared his story on here. He thought Nl guys would embrace and hail him for his choices in life. Maybe they did at first. But little did he know that his story would be used against him in future. No be nairalanders? . Sometimes I just pity the guy . |
