Advice from a Woman for Christian Husbands

Okay guys, I know sometimes you try so hard to make your wife happy, and somehow your advances, words and suggestions get hit with the cold shoulder. Here is some Christian advice for you husbands from a womans perspective. A woman needs to know her husband loves her. I know you are always talking about us woman as if we come from another world, don't worry we sometimes think the same. The truth is God knew that we would be so different and instructs men and woman differently in the Bible regarding the marital relationship.

Let's look at Ephesians 5:22-27

Wives and Husbands

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansingher by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

Did you notice that wives are not told to love their husbands? That's because it is a womans nature to love. This is not to say that men do not love, but that it takes more on their part to demonstrate the love that they do have.

I know at some point and time you have heard real men don't cry. You may have even been raised with that mentally that formed the rough and tough man your wife fell in love with, but she still needs to see the other side of you. Here are a few things that you can do to help demonstrate your love for your wife.

Appreciate her existence and value her work:

Proverbs 31:28-31 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

We know you work hard and do all you can to provide and protect us, and us wives should be showing our appreciating perhaps more often than we do to our husbands. But husbands, it is also important for you to show appreciation and give praises to your wife. After coming home from a long days work, it may seem like adding more footwork to your day, but simply complimenting your wife on how good the house looks, how delicious dinner smells and how good she is to you will go a long way! Her eyes will beam and that extra footwork will be rewarded.

Get creative and shower her with romance.

It only takes a minute, and your wife will feel like she is in one of those chick flicks she makes you watch. A wife craves romance from her husband, much like the romance you showered her with while you were dating, winning her as your wife. Now that you have her and she is all yours don't let the romance fade.

If the passion seems to be fading in your marriage, YOU can turn it around. Get into your creative mind and do something little to woo her. You want to think outside the box here. We all love dinner and a movie, or chocolates and cards, even flowers and a teddy bear, but real romance is something unexpected and often times not traditional. Maybe it's a simple as helping her around the house and complimenting her, but add a touch of your own creative thoughts to make it personal.

Look her in the eyes

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. They hold powerful emotions. I know I can look into my husbands eyes and after a while tears start rolling because I think of how in love I am with him. It would certainly take your wife by surprise if the next time you two were close you gazed at her with a smile and while keeping your eyes beamed into hers tell her how much you love her.

These are just a few tips from a woman to a man. I hope that you have found them insightful and learned a trick or two.
