I often have to relearn how to submit and respect my husband especially in a world telling me not to. Here are a few ideas on how to be a Godly wife by showing respect to your husband.
1. Pray for him. Nothing shows respect to your husband like praying for him. Pray for his strength, courage to lead your family, growth in the Lord, and overall health and happiness.
2. Don't talk bad about him in front of others. no. matter. what. Talk to your husband about the problem after you have prayed about it. If the issue is not being resolved seek counseling of a pastor or trusted friend, but do not talk bad about him in front of others especially family and close friends.
3. Put God first. You will be able to respect your husband if you are inline with the Lord and putting Him first in your life, He will give you the strength you need.
4. Put your husband above your kids. Marriage is forever, kids grow up. Make sure that you are spending quality time together and growing your relationship, it is the best thing you can do for each other and your kids, it gives them a healthy view of marriage and love.
5. Show interest in his interests. Ask your husband about the football game he is watching, or what is going on at work,(etc.) care about what he cares about.
6. Dress to impress. I don't mean wear a dress all the time, or that wearing yoga / pajama pants is wrong (I do it more than I care to admit!), but as often as possible try to look good for your husband whatever that means to you and him.
7. Want him. Show him you need him, emotionally, physically, sexually, spiritually.
8. Ask God for help and ask God and your husband for forgiveness when you fail. Don't give up and don't be hard on yourself, we are all a work in progress, but with our hope & trust in Jesus one day we will be perfect in Him.
xoxo.
