Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
A Check-Up for Husbands
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church ..."
(v. 25)
-- For reading & meditation: Ephesians 5:22-33
Over the next two days I want to establish two final principles for
dealing with troubles in the home: one for the husbands and one for
the wives. Today we begin with the men: Be prepared to give yourself
a spiritual check-up on how you are doing as a husband. Cross out
whichever answer does not apply.
PRAYER:
1. Do you still "court" your wife with an unexpected gift of flowers
or chocolates? (Anniversaries and birthdays not to be included)
(YES/NO)
2. Are you careful never to criticize her in front of
others? (YES/NO)
3. Do you make an effort to understand her varying
feminine moods and help her through them? (YES/NO)
4. Do you depend on your wife to meet your basic personal needs?
(YES/NO)
5. Do you pray together? (YES/NO)
6. Do you share at least half your recreation time with your wife and
family? (YES/NO)
7. Are you alert for opportunities to praise and compliment her?
(YES/NO)
8. Do you go to church together? (YES/NO)
9. Is she first in your life - after the Lord? (YES/NO)
10. Have you forgiven her for any hurts or problems she may have caused
you? (YES/NO)
A score of 7 to 10 yes responses - excellent! Below 7 yes answers -
you've got some work ahead of you.
FURTHER STUDY:
Father, You who have set us in families, help me to be the person You
intend me to be, both in my marriage and in my home. This I ask in
Jesus' Name. Amen.
Eccl. 9:1-9; Gen. 2:23-24; Col. 3:1-21; 1 Pet. 3:7
1. What does the word cleave (KJV) mean?
2. Why are our prayers often hindered?
