MY HUSBAND, MY
CROWN(1)
God is preparing your husband.
Only God is fully aware of the
necessary ingredients needed to complete His plan.
Don’t tamper with His recipe.
Treat your husband with tender
loving care.
Make full use of opportunities
to truly be a helpmeet
Tips needed:
Admire him in your mind. Verbal
criticism will not occur if your mind and heart are consciously mindful of his
strengths. Remember your own faults and failures. (Quote: “It is unfair for
weakness to expect perfection.”)
Psalm 19:14
Praise him in areas where he
may be insecure.
Is he shy? Admire his ability
to relate to people.
Is he of small stature? Praise
his strength.
Is he unemployed? Let him know
you are confident in his ability to support the family.
A thoughtful, caring wife will
give support and encouragement rather than criticism in sensitive areas.
Support him in new endeavors.
Unfortunately, some of his efforts will fail. Continue to praise anyway,
knowing that the effort is much more important than the success or failure. The fact that he is happy and visionary in
his work is much more important than his degree of achievement.
This is not to say that a wife
will never disagree with any of her husband’s opinions. The point is that her
FIRST response does not have to be negative.
Our husbands should not think
of negativity as our primary personality trait. What if the idea is really
crazy and you feel that it will have a permanently damaging result on your
family? If you are truly concerned about a situation, take it to the Lord and
ask Him to accomplish His will through it.
