MY HUSBAND, MY
CROWN 3
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:
Accept him as he is:
theses are some DO’s and DON’T’s that can help you
DO accept the way your husband
plans things for you.
DO accept his gifts. To
reject his gift is to reject him. Many times men will give practical gifts,
rather than romantic ones. He is trying to fill a need. Rather than reject the
gift, be careful about what type of needs you express to him (especially right
before Christmas or your birthday).
DO accept the way he works.
Allow for differences in work style (i.e. fast or slow paced, organized or
unorganized, etc.).
Especially be careful of making
suggestions regarding Christian work or service. You may be unaware of what the
Lord is trying to do in his life, and unintentionally hinder the work of the
Holy Spirit.
DO accept his affection. The
key word is “respond.” Respond to your husband’s every word and action with an
appropriate response. When he arrives home, respond. When he leaves, respond. When
he tells a story or a joke, respond. When he gives you a hug, respond with an
appropriate response. An appropriate response would not be to stand there like
a dead fish. Throw your arms around him with affectionate enthusiasm.
