Ephesians 5:25 makes it clear that we ought to have a very strong love for our wives. Make sure that she feels very secure in that love, and that you are showing your love in a way that she can hear it.
2. What do you think that I should understand better about you?
We should be lifetime students of our wives. When you first started dating, you wanted to know everything about her. By the time you got married, you had earned your diploma in “Your Wife 101”. Don’t stop there. Keep working for a Ph.D. in “Your Wife”! She changes and grows, and that requires you to continue to study her. (see 1 Peter 3:7)
3. How are you feeling about your soul right now?
Guys, as the spiritual leader of your household, you will have to account for your spouse’s soul. Don’t just assume that she is doing alright spiritually. Check in on her from time to time. Discuss her doubts and pray together about it.
4. How can I help you today?
Dedicate your day off once in a while to helping her catch up. This is especially important if she’s been feeling behind, or if that “honey-do” list is getting pretty backed up. Many women will translate your actions of service into affirmations of love.
Keep those lines of communication open. Try asking her some of these questions this weekend. Her answers might surprise you, and they will probably help you to grow closer.
