Now, husbands, you ready? He says a lot less to us, but it is very potent! 7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Husbands, you need to understand this woman that you married; your wife should be walking around saying, “Wow, this guy really knows me, he really understands my heart, he really knows who I am. And, just like Peter did with the wives, he is going to clue us in on something that he knows is true of every women heart; Husbands, you have to embrace your God-given calling to live with your wife in a way that creates in her a feeling that she’s understood… by you.
Husbands your wife lives with this question, “Is my heart safe, will I be seen and cared for?” And, that question will never go away. Just like us, they bring this question into every area of life, and just like us, only God can answer, we cannot.
Unhealthy women will chase love to get that answered… she will bring this question to you as her husband, over and over and over, and you get to honor her, not fix her; honoring her means caring for that question in your wife's soul.
