Dear Husband, More is Expected

1
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.”

We are expected to lay down our lives
but can’t even lay down our phones
for five uninterrupted minutes.

Be Better.
...............................................
2
Ephesians 5:28
In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.”

You protect your body.
You feed your body.
You rest your body.

Do you protect your wife’s heart like that?
 
Be Better.
...............................................
1 Peter 3:7
Live with your wives in an understanding way… showing honor.”

Understanding requires listening.
Honor requires restraint.

Being loud and unnecessarily obstinate is not leadership.
 
Be Better.
............................................... 
4
Colossians 3:19
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”

Harshness is not masculinity.
Saying things carelessly is not strength.

Tenderness is not weakness.

Be Better.
...............................................
Genesis 2:24
A man shall leave… and be joined to his wife.”

Leave means leave.

Emotionally.
Psychologically.
Financially.

You can’t cleave properly
if you never left properly.

Be Better.
...............................................
Proverbs 5:18
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Rejoice.

Not tolerate.
Not compare.
Not demean.

Rejoice.

Be Better.
...............................................
7
1 Corinthians 13:5
Love is not self-seeking.”

Marriage is not a service center for your ego.

If it’s always about your comfort,
it’s not love.

Be Better.
............................................... 
8
Joshua 24:15
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Leadership is not control.
It’s responsibility.

You cannot outsource spiritual direction in your home.

Be Better.
...............................................
Ecclesiastes 9:9
Enjoy life with the wife whom you love.

If you manage your 401k more intentionally
than your marriage,
your priorities are showing.

Be Better.
...............................................
10 
Philippians 2:3–4
In humility consider others better than yourselves.”

Humility is not optional in marriage.

If you can apologize to your boss
but not to your wife…

Be Better.
