HUSBAND LOVE YOUR WIFE


We ask, “Just what is loving” and “How can it be shown?”
How can a husband treat his wife the way the Lord will own?
We think it should be easy. Like falling off a log.
But surely she in not a “bitch” and you are not a “dog”.
Loving’s not a meeting that happens in the street.
It isn’t just a “season” for treating her so sweet,
So that the laws of nature can cause her to conceive.
I know this is ridiculous, but that’s what some believe.
That isn’t love, that’s mating, which any pair can do.
It’s purely biological and that will ruin you.
That woman is more valuable than all that you can name.
She isn’t just the object, of someone’s mating game.
The Lord has shown us clearly, just how we are to live.
The husband must protect his wife, if necessary, give
His life for her if needed. She never was his slave.
And in this understanding, is how you should behave.
Treat her as a jewel. A diamond in the raw.
Find out just how much she needs and then give her far more!
Shower her with kisses. Treat her as your queen.
Show her she’s important; the woman of your dreams.
Never lay a hand on her except with a caress.
Or, in Jesus precious name, lay hands on her to bless.
Listen when she speaks to you. Don’t say you are bored.
When she’s sick or hurting, she mustn’t be ignored.
Tell her that you love her; A hundred times a day.
And follow up by treating her that very special way.
She’s the weaker vessel. But you must not use force.
Give her the security that Jesus would endorse.
She is not your equal. That can never be.
But if you will treat her right, her femininity,
Will show you you’re not equal. Her powers are much more,
In areas you never thought you ever could explore.
So love her with your body and love her with your mind.
Love her with extravagance; that way you’re sure to find,
That she’ll return her love to you in ways beyond your ken.
She’ll never be distracted or turn to other men.
And you will have a marriage that Jesus will endorse.
A union that never will, end up in a divorce.
