Husbands Love Your Chickie

Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with an understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honour as coheirs of the grace of life,miso hat your prayers will not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7

When I think about how to try and explain what I sense the Lord wants here, I think about being a parent. I am responsible for my children but I should not stress them with my being unreasonable and constantly being at them. They are a weaker vessel than me, I have had, should have had, more experience in God and therefore more in the well to draw from. As I cherish the character God has put in them, the individuality them possess, the uniqueness they have, I know how to best serve them as a parent and guide them to the future when they can make choices for themselves.

I can only imagine this is what the man has to do when faced with all that he marries. If he chooses to think of himself, he will resent the effort required and reject his wife. Yet if he quietly embraces his role He will have the best companion imaginable. He will blessed indeed. Amen!
