1. Never raise your voice for any reason to your
wife. “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
(Prov 15v1)
2. Don’t expose your wife's weaknesses to your
family and friends. It will bounce back at you. You are each other's
keeper. “For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them
in secret.” (Eph 5v12)
3. Never use attitudes and moods to communicate
to your wife, you never know how she will interpret them. “A
merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the
spirit is broken.” (Prov 15v13)
4. Never compare your wife to other women; you've
no idea what their life is all about. If you attack her Ego, her love for
you will diminish. 2Co 10:12 “For we dare not make ourselves of the
number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves,
are not wise.”
5. Never
ill treat your wife's friends because you don't like them, the person
who's supposed to get rid of them is your wife.
6. Never pretend to be sick for the purpose of
denying your wife sex. You must give it to her how she wants it. 1Co 7:5 “Defraud
ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give
yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you
not for your incontinency.”
7. Never
compare your wife to your one time sex mate in bedroom, or an Ex-lover.
8. Never
shout at your wife in front of children. “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:”
(Eph 4v31)
9. Your parents or family or friends do not have
the final say in your marriage. Don't waste your time looking up to them
for a final word. You must Leave if you want to Cleave. “And
ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends;
and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.” (Luke 21v16)
10. Don't forget that wives want attention and
good listeners, never be too busy for her. Good communication is the bed
rock of every happy home.
11. Don't be too judgemental to your wife. “Let
no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to
the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” (Eph
4v29)
12. Don't associate with men who have a wrong
mental attitude about marriage.
13. Your marriage is as valuable to you as the
value that you give it. Recklessness is unacceptable. Heb 13:4 “Marriage
is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers
God will judge.” (Heb 13:4)
14. Love
your children and teach them well in the way of the Lord. “Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from
it.” (Prov 22:6)
15. You are never too old to influence your home.
Never reduce your care for your family for any reason.
16. Pray always for your wife and family. “Pray
without ceasing.” (1 Thess 5v17)
17. Never share your wife’s love or affection with
anybody.
18. Be gentle and accommodating. “With
all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;”
Eph 4:2.
19. Never
hide anything from your wife.
20. Do
not make negative comments about your wife’s body. She risked her life and
beauty to carry your babies. “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” (Prov. 18:22.)
