Husbands, love your wives.

"Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it."
Ephesians 5:28 GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)

"Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life"
Ecclesiastes 9:9 New American Standard Bible (©1995)

This started out to be a much longer post on this subject, but I decided to let those words stand mostly on their own.

Men, love your wives. They are jewels in your crown. Yes, maybe they've faded a little bit, but be honest with yourselves. What part have you played in that? And haven't you, too, faded a bit?

Well into my fiftieth year, and without a woman to love and love me in return, I'm here to tell you that the grass is NOT greener.

It's simple, men. So simple even you can do it. Love them. Just love them. The way you did when you were trying to win their hearts. Take out an old picture of when you fell in love and remember. Remember. (Thanks for that idea to pastor Ken Appleton)
