Bible Note: Greetings In the Andes! I'm just wondering what you are really after here . . . do you REALLY desire to treat your wife as "queen of the home" or are you looking for some personal affirmation? Frankly, it's not about DOING it is a matter of BEING. Working on one's inward attitude will always reap a tangible harvest in any relationship. I have a husband who does MANY wonderful things, but these are spoiled in an instant when his words or even his body language do not mirror his actions! It's all about the heart. Jesus loved the church and gave HIMSELF UP for her. When we can grasp what "giving self up" means and looks like, I think we will be well on our way to enjoying one another in the Lord as He intends! You will "treat" your wife like the "queen of the home" when you really desire HER to be! Just some female thoughts for you to consider . . . Blessings, Mommapbs |
