Loving Your Husband - Week Eleven

Essential Five

(THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT: READ CHAPTER TEN IN YOUR BOOK,
STUDY IT, & SHARE YOUR GLEANINGS!)
"That they may teach the young women... to love their husbands." Titus 2:3

"The greatest gift you can give your husband is the gift of lifting his name and his needs before the throne of God. Prayer for your husband releases the energies of God, for prayer is asking God to do what you cannot do."
 
Hello dear Friends! I hope your week of studying this new essential to godly living was blessed! I really enjoyed copying down all those great scriptures. What wonderful ones to memorize and hide in our hearts. (Anyone up for a challenge and want to join me?!)

These are the 4 important points I walked away with:

1. A wife is to HELP her husband
2. A wife is to FOLLOW her husband
3. A wife is to RESPECT her husband
4. A wife in to LOVE her husband

I thought her definition of "respect" was quite mind blowing - "actively demonstrating & showing high regard for him in ways all can see." It reminds me of the verse in Proverbs 31:23 where it says, "Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land." It is so important to build up our husbands, encouraging them & speaking well of him to others.

Prayer is such an important part of any relationship. What better thing can you do for someone than to uphold them in prayer! Perhaps you might want to start a prayer journal just for your husband. Even if you are not yet married you can still start praying for your future husband today. 

Enjoy your study this week as we look at practical ways we can apply this lesson to our lives and hearts. :)
Love & Prayers, Nicole
