AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS OF SERVING LABAN, Jacob made up his mind to resign and relocate to Canaan land where he came from. Obviously, the job of serving as Laban’s Shepherd or Herdsman had lost it’s thrill. What reignited his interest at this point? The first of them was the statement of Laban that’s in our anchor scripture for today. Mr Laban openly confessed what Jacobs presence had done in his life. He acknowledged Jacob’s presence as the reason for his wealth. As a result, JACOB WAS ENCOURAGED to stay back and put in six more years of service.
The lesson here is that it is very important to from to time acknowledge the huge positive contributions your Spouse is making to your life on daily basis.
In this regards we’re going to focus on husbands first.
Sir, do you have an idea of the massive difference your wife is making in your life by just her kitchen work in the home? When was the last time you cooked for yourself for a full week? You probably can’t even remember any such thing because for the past forty years, you have never needed to enter the kitchen to boil water let alone cook. She does all that and you’re served your meals in glorious dishes. But have you ever paused to acknowledge her? Have you ever paused to tell her plainly that your life has changed tremendously since she came into your world?
How about the private services she gives you in the bedroom? Have you ever acknowledged her in that area? Or have you not heard of husbands who were sexually starved by their wives for years and who upon venturing out to street women got infected with killer diseases? Well, this Writer has heard of two men who died miserably that way. So, if you have a wife who’s readily available to you in the bedroom, don’t take it for granted. Profusely acknowledge and thank her again and again.
And now, let’s turn to wives.
Dear wife, you need to also learn to acknowledge and appreciate your husband. Many of your age mates are still unmarried and hustling for husbands.
Appreciate your man’s leadership in the family; the financial and material provisions he brings into the home, etc.
The truth is, there come from time to time moments that one of you feels down and low in the Marriage for one reason or another. And sometimes, for no known reason whatsoever. And that’s where using APPRECIATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as sweeteners and strengtheners come in.
Learn to recognize when your Mate is feeling low and use these sweeteners and strengtheners.
Remember that in the Garden of Gethsemane, an Angel came to strengthen Jesus(Luke 22:43-44) for the crucifixion that was ahead of Him. If Christ needed to be strengthened during a severely trying time, you need to also learn to strengthen one another when you sense that your Mate is getting weak in the Marriage.
