The man has a crucial role to play in a happy marriage; it is not just the wife who makes it so. If the wife is not already a Christian, the husband must carry out his duty to win her over to himself and the Lord.
Even if a woman is cantankerous or evil, it is expected that a man will live with her in love and understanding once they are married. He ought to be happy for her and devoted to her. Women are weaker or more feeble than men and have peculiar needs. A man ought to be able to comprehend these needs when dealing with them and relate to his woman in the best way possible. In order to win a woman’s heart, you must be understanding of her physical, emotional, and spiritual weaknesses as well as sensitive to her feelings and limitations.
A man is on the right track to creating a happy and flourishing marriage that is heaven on earth and the envy of many when he sees his wife exactly the same way God sees her—as a beloved woman for whose soul He sacrificed His only begotten Son. Yes, women are a beautiful gift from God that must first be completely understood in order to be cherished and enjoyed.
Because they were unable to comprehend their wives’ quirks, the majority of men today are having trouble in their marriages. In an effort to compel respect from their wives, they shout at them, chastise, intimidate, bark orders, whine, grumble, and scowl. Because they believe that women should only be seen and not heard when it comes to important family matters, some male chauvinists abuse their spouses, relegate them to the role of mere bedmates and housekeepers, and treat them like second-class citizens.
The key to winning a woman’s heart is RESPECT, not some of the less than flattering attitudes that some men have toward women. A feeling of utmost respect for someone or something is denoted by the word “respect,” which is a result of that person or thing’s skills, traits, or accomplishments. Respect plays a significant role in daily life. People’s rights are easily violated when there is no respect for one another, especially within a family or home.
While everyone is deserving of respect as an individual (Matthew 7:12), respect is not something that should be demanded; rather, it should be earned. All a woman really wants in a marriage is to be loved and respected. And because she is respected, she doesn’t need to abuse her husband to get what she wants, like some modern-day women do. A man won’t truly revere a woman who hits him or doesn’t live up to her potential as a woman if she doesn’t show him high, special regard or deference, which is what respect is simply used to describe.
Most men treat women as mere slaves or objects to satisfy their passion because they believe they are not worthy of much respect or honor. This should never happen again because it is wrong. As the beneficiaries of life’s grace, women should be accorded delicate consideration. Their opinions, assessments, sentiments, choices, and other considerations must all be respected. A woman’s weakness may result in some annoyances and problems. Being more emotional than the man can frequently cause her to lose sight of her reason and judgment, but taking the time to comprehend her flaws and strengths as well as forgiving her eccentric personality will help the man in establishing and maintaining the marriage.
The kind of respect that is based in love and appreciation can be obtained or demanded by someone who also views themselves as servant-leaders (Ephesians 5:23). A marriage based on grace, mercy, and humility will undoubtedly succeed in spite of all odds. Understanding this will be aided by keeping promises and acting in God’s behalf (Malachi 2:14–15; John 3:17). In other words, if the man is able to play his part exceptionally well, the woman’s heart might not actually be behind bars. Above all, being a Christian and giving one’s life to Jesus Christ while remaining steadfast is a surefire way to understand one’s partner (1 Corinthians 2:14). To the husband reading this, I say: LOVE your wife!
