1 Peter 3:7 In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
Guys, can you remember you and your wife's first date? You had sweaty palms, nervous steps to the car, pulling out the chair for her at dinner? You were so careful with each word, each action you took to impress this incredible lady that sits beside you?
You are shocked that she would even accept your invitation for dinner. You put on your best jeans and shirt, your hair was just right, your breath is mint and your teeth are sparkling. You were not about to pass up this opportunity to make the best impression.
After many months of putting on your best, one day she sees you're a real person. She sees you get stressed with the flat tire, the car beside you cuts in front of you, the waitress fails to bring you a refill your entire meal. The steaks you've ordered are overcooked, now she sees the real deal, and your a real person.
After a few years the two of you fall in love and in spite of one another weaknesses you decide to get married. The honeymoon is short lived and now both of you get stressed under the pressures and burdens of real life.
Fellows there are no perfect people in the world. Were all made out of the same stuff. Anyone who lives in this life very long has to depend on a God in heaven to give him grace for each step of the way.
All of us want to keep the favor of God on our life and our marriage. Peter tells us; "Treat your little lady right." God says; "So your prayers don't run aground, just so your prayers are not hindered, treat her right."
If you're having a hard time understanding that principal, you don't need to understand Greek to get this. Just go back to doing what you were doing before you put a ring on her finger. Go back to those first dating days. I think you get the point.
There are great benefits in treating your lady right. Guys let's work on it and God promises us that life will go so much better.
