How To Protect Your Husbandಮಾದರಿ

Draw close to your husband during hard times

It is easy to feel close to each other when everything is going well but when stress and hardship creep in it is important to recognize that my husband is not the enemy. Often both parties withdraw when they (or one party) carry high stress and lots of pressure. Make time to be together. You remain a team. When you work for an organization or company and the company goes through a hard time, everyone doesn’t start doing their own thing. They pull together and jump in to do whatever is needed to save the day. In marriage, we are a team. When your husband needs your support or your attention, jump in and help wherever you can. You are on his team!

In closing consider the fact that he is God’s gift to you as you are God’s gift to him. Yet he remains the property of God and you have been given stewardship of him by God. He remains first and foremost the Lord’s possession on loan to you for this lifetime only. 

You are an instrument in the Lord’s hand for the Lord’s glory in his life. As you are his first mission field so too is he your first and foremost mission field to the honor and glory and worship of Jesus Christ.
