Ephesians 5:28-29: “In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.”
Christian men should cherish their wives as though she is part of your own body. Not only are you the leader of the family, whose job it is to provide, but that personal relationship is required like Christ has with His followers. You should be teaching her, talking to her about the word, and leading by example, but it’s also about the little things. When you nourish yourself, think of her first. You need a snack? So does she. Just getting a glass of water? Bring her one too. If you’re doing something that benefits you, how can it benefit her as well?
Of course this is all easier said than done, but if you begin now, practice will make perfect. Or at least get you a lot closer than you are now.
