When You’ve Been Married a While: Wives, Support

“The wife must respect her husband” (Ephesians 5:33).

It’s hard to be a good wife these days. Godly wives get very little support from the media. Men are regularly portrayed as blundering, lazy dolts that do nothing but drink beer and watch sports. Men make messes, are childish and violent, and have only one thing on their minds. How can Christ’s sisters not feel resentment toward their husbands and scorn in their hearts?

How do TV commercials make you feel when they portray other husbands and lovers buying cars, jewelry, and luxury vacations for their mates on Valentine’s Day and you got maybe a card and some lousy chocolates?

Respect him anyway. If not for him, then for Christ. He can never grow into the leader you long for if you refuse to follow. Every home leader starts out as a rookie and has to grow into his role. A woman will have more in the end if she looks for and then praises Christ-like leadership in him than if she scolds and nags him over his perceived failures.

Men really can learn and generally are eager to please. They can develop into awesome partners who bring great gifts to their wives’ lives. Ask any widow.

These devotions, one for each day of your month, are for married people, for those who hope to be married, and for all of you who used to be married. Re-listen to God's words about this sacred institution and rededicate your ways to be more like his ways.
