How to be a man March 26th GRUB@ 6:45, MTG @7:15 HillSpring Church. Looking for your thoughts ideas and topics.

Eph. 5:22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

V. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Respect - to obey, to desire, to win the favor of a God.

Does your husband feel desirable or desired by you?

When scripture calls the woman the weaker sex… one of the keys in understanding that verse is what it implies regarding the man…. And that is that he is stronger and  will go through more trials, Temptations struggles and warfare in his relationship with God and with you and in life, then YOU the wife ever will. 

  -  The man must be in right standing with God

No, the man can't be a bully and demand or Command but when he is a God-fearing loving husband, and he simply asks or expects out of your love for him to do the right thing -and you don't -it’s actually harder. * look if I demand my wife to do something and she doesn't well I guess - I get it because I'm being a Butthead. But when I'm truly a God-fearing loving man and she doesn't want to respect or serve or desire, then it's like slow poison to my system. 

  -  The happiest wives and the most fulfilling marriages have wives that respect, submit and desire. Why? Because they have learned Gods ways are best…. Which means…

  -  Feelings are negated, they have learned to not let feelings dictate their life.

  -  Vows are taken in awe and fear before God. Wives ultimately will be held accountable by God to give an account of how well they served there husband…. By your actions did you make it easy for your husband to keep from temptation, to keep from being angry or bitter, to keep a soft heart towards you. Yes, he should always strive for this, but you are still part of the responsibility of making it easier for him. And you'll have to answer to God.
