Growing in Love for Our Husbands {A New Series on How to Love Our Spouses According to God's Word}

The Arnolfini Wedding Portrait by Jan van Eyck

Yesterday, I alluded to a new series I will be starting next week on how to love and nurture our husbands, a topic that I chose because of my own need and desire to grow in love for my husband.

Beginning next Monday (8/15), I will be sharing posts on:

• What the Bible says about how we as wives are to honor our husbands; and
• What our husbands say they want from us.

We will look specifically at the following:

1. Submitting to our husband's authority within the home {what that means & how we do it}
   
2. Submitting our bodies {what that means & why we should do it even when we don't want to :)}
   
3. Respecting our husbands {what that means & how it looks}
   
4. Being wives "of noble character" {what that means & how we do it}
   
5. Intentional ways we can honor our own husbands {what he says he wants from us}
   

Of course, the Bible will be my go-to source for this series, but I will also be looking at Kevin Leman's Have a New Husband by Friday and Love & Respect by Emerson Eggerichs as well as a few other resources I have on hand. What books do you recommend?

As we study God's Word and communicate with our spouses, I pray we will grow in love for our husbands, that our marriages will be blessed, and that God will be glorified.

I hope you will come back each week and share your responses to my posts.

Until next week, when we look at what it means to "be subject to" our husbands (Ephesians 5:22), God's richest blessings to you!
