Three Questions for HusbandsHalimbawa

Are You Your Wife's Warrior?

Devotional Content:

Today is the final day of this series for men. So far we have answered two questions. The first: “Is your wife your best friend?” The second: “Is God at the center of your marriage?” Today’s question is “Are you her warrior?”

If you search online for the word warrior, you get various descriptions of someone—usually a fighter or a soldier—who is courageous, brave, and vigorous. As husbands, God has given us the role of being the leader. I think being a warrior is part of that.

As warriors, we bring a sense of safety and security to our wives. They want to know that we will protect them, look after them, and keep them from harm. They want to know that we would never knowingly harm them.

A husband warrior also has the courage to lead his wife and to do it in a way that honors God.

Here are some ways for you to be a warrior:

1. Set a level playing field. If you have ever hurt your wife in any way, tell her you are sorry and that from today on you will never knowingly hurt her.

2. Ask her what you can do to help her feel protected and cared for.

3. Ask her about her fears and then together lay those at the feet of God in prayer.

4. Pray for God to daily show you how to be a warrior in your marriage.

Try this for 60 days and let us know how you like being a “warrior” in your marriage.

Today’s Challenge:

Dr. Kim shares that God has given husbands the role of being the leader and that part of that is being a warrior. Wives want to know that husbands will protect them, look after them, and protect them from harm. In what ways can you better be a warrior for your wife?

Going Deeper:

1. Take time to ask your wife about her fears this week. Then pray with your wife about her fears and lay those fears at the feet of God.

2. Take Dr. Kim’s advice and level the playing field. Tell your wife you are sorry if you ever hurt her, and let her know you will never willingly hurt her.

3. Do something special this week to tell your wife you will keep her safe. You could write her a note, find a Bible verse to share with her, or buy a small, creative gift for her that represents you as her warrior.

4. Pray and ask God to help you have courage and to be a warrior for your wife.
