MEN'S 28 DAYS TO LOVING MY WIFE CHALLENGE DAY 28 - LEADERSHIP #6

DRINK WATER FROM YOUR OWN CISTERN

The following scripture speaks to the men of enjoying everything from their wife at home.
What say ye?

Proverbs 5:15-21 (KJV)
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth

Theme Verse: Ephesians 5:29
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:


COUNTING DOWN.......ONE MORE DAY!


You have received the expectation of a good dad and is now ready to explore your position as a husband!

Are you a notable critic?
Are your conversations with your wife full of sarcasms? '
Is your action as effective as your words?


TODAY'S ACTIVITY: THE LEADERSHIP HUSBAND

Are you an abusive husband? 
Domestic Violence is nestling in the homes of many, not just physically, but emotionally, socially. 

It is said that men can give the silent treatment just as good or even better than women. 

In our lingo (here's the English version) "I'll beat you without touching you" is demonstrated throughout the household.

How do you deal with issues?
Do you leave the house, turn up the volume of TV/Radio..?
Do you support, financially, spiritually, emotionally?
Do you compliment/praise or criticize?
Do you show love and affection outside of the bedroom walls?
Do you encourage your spouse to pursue goals?
Do you help with the children/housework other responsibilities?
Do you have her as a "help meet" or your slave or mother?
Do you trust her?
Do you respect, honor and submit to her?
Do you put your friends, parents/family, exes before her?
Do you meet her needs/desires?
Do you share "everything" with her?
Do you cheat on her?

LET'S TALK
Here are some of your expectations in the position/role as a husband:
Communicate and discuss issues and matters of the home and family
Learn to face and confront matters, they won't go away if you avoid them
Support and provide for her financial, spiritual and emotional needs
Constantly praise and compliment and express your dislike without criticism
Always express love and affection not just sexually but demonstrate daily kindness, gentleness
Encourage her to pursue her dreams/ambitions and offer support
Assist in the discipline and upbringing of the children and share the household chores
Make her feel special and treat her as your equal. She is not to be treated like your maid, servant or slave
Trust her with your life, money and have faith in her
Honor her as the queen of your life, respect her decisions, submit to her requests in the fear/will of God
Beside the Lord, NO ONE should come before her, that includes your mom/dad, other family members, all female/male friends, exes and the church
Your desire to please her should be foremost in your mind and make every effort to meet her needs
Your wife should be your closest friend and should come before anyone else- She should know all your affairs and should not be surprised with anything
Be Satisfied with your wife-Drink water from your own cistern!

DOs' and DON'Ts'
Show affection - Don't correct in public
Speak Positive Affirmations - Don't gossip about her with others. Encourage - Don't criticize, judge or condemn
Listen and Pay Attention - Don't shut down, ignore/neglect
Play and Have Fun - Don't be a grouch and rule like a Pharaoh
Be Available - Don't be an absent husband (physically/emotionally)

Caution: Don't compare her to your mother or ex-girlfriend

Remember, MARRIAGE IS A TEAM EFFORT-COMMON PURPOSE!

Don't be discouraged if she doesn't receive it at first or perhaps question your motive. Just do it- Lead in love!
Watch God in the next 28 days!
