Man Up

DAY 8 OF 28

Week 2: Be a Man for Your Family

Now that we are in our second week of our 'Man Up' Devotional Series, we will focus on being men in our relationship with our wives, family, and kids. As men, we need to daily remember how much of a blessing our wives are. Proverbs 18:22 puts it plain and simple. If you’re not married, spend your time now preparing to be a great husband – study what it means to be a Godly man/husband. It doesn’t get easier when you get married.

For those of us who are married/engaged, Revelation 2:5 tells us we need to go back to the things we did at first to get our 'first love' back. When you first started dating your wife, you probably didn’t ever want to pick her up if your car wasn’t clean, or you didn’t have deodorant on – go back to that time. Treat your wife as special. Be a respectful man.

Practical Steps

  1. Do one special thing for your wife in the next week that you wouldn’t normally do – preferably take her out on a nice date. Get childcare, and go out!
  2. If you’re not married, take time this week to think about what type of husband you want to be. Think about men that you’ve seen do it right and others that have done it wrong, and learn from them.
