THE ENJOYABLE HUSBAND (PT. 1)

Scripture:
‘HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT’
(Ephesians 5: 25)

ONE DAY, LONG AGO, WHILE AT IDAH in Kogi State, Nigeria, I went out alone on personal evangelism. Towards the end of my soul winning work that day, I approached a housewife to preach the Gospel to her. Before I could greet her what fell off her lips was a cry of exasperation: “Ikodu Ola-udachi, Ikodu Ola-udachi. Δ’nwu Agb’Omi kwefu Ōla-Udachi eyii?” She was saying: “Everytime Sex, every time Sex! What will deliver me from this entanglement?” I then realized that she was newly married and the man I met on my way to her house was her husband.

Husbands, it’s indeed your right in marriage to enjoy conjugal or sexual intimacy with your wife as much as you need to. However, things go wrong when that’s all you ever want from her while she’s in the midst of diverse personal needs that you care little about. When your thoughtless and incessant demands make you appear as having no other interest her but satisfying your animal desires, it injures your union in no small way. You must therefore mind the impressions you create in the heart of your wife about yourself.

There’s a Master Key for getting your wife to willingly and joyfully yield her body and love to you without the slightest impression that you take her for a captive sex slave. It’s heeding and obeying the command of our anchor scripture for today.

Our anchor verse tells you to love your wife as Christ loved the Church by laying down His very life for her.

Now, you need to understand that Christ’s laying down His life for the Church was to meet the needs of the Church. In commanding you to love your wife as Christ loved the Church, God is simply telling you to meet the needs in her life.

What are the needs in the life of your wife TODAY? Find out what they are and meet them. You can ask her if you still don’t know what they are despite looking around.

Make it your goal to know the needs in the life of your woman and to faithfully and promptly meet them according to your ability.

You can become a sweet husband whom your wife consistently enjoys.

Condider her need for REST for instance and meet it the way you best can. Truth be told: most wives are overworked and stressed out. Give attention to her in this vital area and you’ll find her being more positive to your proposals for bedroom fellowship.
