ALWAYS TREAT YOUR WIFE LIKE A LADY
Sol & Edna Weiss
Married: June 16 1946 - NY, NY
Sol and Edna met at a party when he was fourteen and she was thirteen. 'We still hold hands,' Sol says. 'And i still put up with hs sense of humor, ' Edna laughs.
Showing a woman honor and respect involves so much more than chivalrous gestures such as holding a door, rising politely at the dinner table, or laying ones coat over a puddle of rainwater. A husbands treatment of his wife like a lady begins with his attitude toward her. Does he truly value his spouse, or does he take her for granted? Does he view her as a gift from heaven above or as more of a burden, 'the ol' bll and chain'? A woman is often descrbed as 'her husbands crown', 'worth far more than rubies'. A godly wife is a treasure to be cherished, deserving her husbands highest compliments and praise.
Honoring his wife begins wit his thoughts and feelings toward her, but it doesnt end there. Picture a valiant young knight striving to win his lady's affections, and revealing his heart to her through his words and deeds! He gives her his full attention when she is speaking. He considers her point of view. He respects her oinions and empathizes with her feelings. In addition, he regards the issues that concern her as important. And he celebrates her triumphs and commends her for her virtues.
God is calling wives to be true ldies, kindheated and worthy of respect; He is calling husbands to be sincere gentleman, and to give their wives the honor they have earned.
'Husbands,....be considerate as you live withyour wives, and treat them with respect.' - 1 Peter 3:7
