One most difficult
thing to do by any man in a relationship is how to love his woman. However, as
difficult as this is so also it is very crucial for the survival of the
relationship.
It is
important to know that loving your wife is the foundation on which your
relationship will stand. And it has been discovered that many men do not know
how to show love to their spouses and this has constituted major challenge why
many marriages and relationships could not survive.
Likewise,
ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the
wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of
life; that your prayers be not hindered. 1Pet.3
Given below
are 7 ways to show love to a woman based on the biblical injunctions given by
one of the greatest apostles on the earth, Apostle Peter.
7 ways to show love to
a woman
1. Be to her a husband
The word husband is from the word husbandry, meaning the
care, cultivation and breeding of crops and animals, management and
conservation of resources.
The same way the husband as the male in a marital
relationship is that man who can care, nurture, manage and conserve the woman
in his life. It will be difficult to love a woman when you are not yet a
husband.
That is why the bible emphatically addressed the matter of
showing love to women to their husbands. It is a husband who can know how to
love a woman; his own wife.
2. Dwell with her
To dwell is to remain with something or someone for a time,
to live together as a resident of a particular place, to exist together, to lie
with.
You are to dwell with her not minding her natural tendencies.
Husbands must remain with their wives in sickness and in health – whether it is
convenient or not.
Dwelling with your woman as a way of showing love is not
about her but about you. A loving husband must be willing to dwell with his
wife when the going is good and when otherwise.
It does not matter whether she
is a nag, you are to show love by dwelling with her despite her weakness and
strength. Do not dwell with her only when she is strong.
3. Treat her with knowledge
This is very important. She is your wife and not one of your
siblings. She is your wife and not your girlfriend or concubine. She is not
even your maid or personal assistant and should not be treated as one.
Treat her with knowledge, realize who she is to you and dwell
with her according to that knowledge. Your wife is a stakeholder in your
affairs. The moment you realized this the better for you.
4. Give her honour
This is wow! Love honours, adores and worship. You are to
honour her both in public and private, when convenient and or not. It is one of
the most difficult things to do for a man in a relationship but remember it is
not about her but you.
It does not matter whether she I contentious you just must
show love by honouring her.
5. Treat her with understanding
Your ability to understand a woman determines your love for
that woman. It would be difficult to love someone you do not understand.
Be aware of her feelings and emotions. Understand her
weaknesses and strength. By understanding her you will know how to render help
where necessary.

6. See her as co-inheritor of God’s promises
Two are better than one. No matter how great you might be,
when you married you will become far better.
There are certain honours and respects you cannot enjoy
except you have a solid relationship with your wife. Every married man can
testify to this. A good marital relationship always enhances the personalities
of the people involved. It is a key to higher ground in life and ministry.
You are co-inheritors of the promises of God here on earth
and so must treat each other that way. Treat her as co traveler, and pilgrim
here on earth. You are both in the journey of life and so need the co-operation
of one another to end well.
If you do not do this your prayer may be hindered, as good relationship
promotes speed answers to prayers.
7. Love her the way you love God
Why? This is because if you do not love your wife that you
live with and can see how can you love God that is not visible to the naked
eye?
There should not be gap between your love for God and that of
your wife. The same way you love God must be replicated in you’re the way you love
your spouse.
Again, I want to emphasize the fact that showing love to your
woman is not about her or her attitudes, but about you and your obedient to the
word of God. It is better to remain unmarried than to have a broken marriage.
Marriage and marital relationships plays important roles in
our ability to access the heavens and get positive responses. Prayers are
hindered when there is no marital harmony. When love is not been practiced in a
home, everything in and around that home will suffer.
I am convinced that with these 7 ways to show love to a
woman, if well practiced and administered, you will have a wonderful marital
relationship with your spouse.
