Good morning, ladies and gents,
This is from Esther's Court desk!
God has given direct instructions as to how a man should treat his wife. God honors marriage and recognizes it as a spiritual covenant established by God. In Malachi 2:14-16, God describes a spouse as a companion and a partner by covenant, emphasizing unity of body and spirit, and warns against unfaithfulness. God even tells a husband that his prayers and offerings will not be received unless he is reconciled to the wife of his youth. God details specific guidelines for how a man should treat his wife!
1) Marriage is a covenant, a spiritual bonding Genesis 2:24-26 that creates Godly outcomes. In Matthew 19:6, Jesus reminds us that marriage is a covenant of two becoming one.
2) God instructs men to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave His life for her Ephesians 5:25.
3) God commands a man to care for his wife's physical, emotional, spiritual well being as he cares for his own body Ephesians 5:28,29.
4) In I Peter 3:7 men are instructed to live with understanding and honor with their wife's as fellow heirs of grace and love through Christ Jesus.
5) Galatians 3:28 tells the man that his wife is equal to him, not less than in any way!
6) Proverbs 15:1 tells a man to treat his wife with gentleness, teach his children well Ephesians 6:4, and to keep his body holy for his wife I Thessalonians 4:4.
7) I Peter 4:8 instructs a man to love his wife deeply, as this covers a multitude of sins.
😎 Colossians 3:13-14 tells a man to forgive constantly.
9) 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 tells us what God's idea of love is, not like ours. Love is patient, kind, gentle, not selfish or self-seeking, not proud or easily provoked to anger, nor does it keep a record of any harm.
10) Any man taht wants to lead His wife as Paul tells us he must be like Christ and be willing to sacrifice his life for her, covering her, and keeping her because he is just guarding her for the Lord.
If a man cannot or is not willing to follow God's mandates as to how to treat his wife then the word tells us he is worst then a sinner and God will judge him as such!
