I heard about a man who said to his wife, “I’m the boss here! I’m in charge! I am the leader and the man of the house!” His wife responded, “You’d be more convincing if you came out from under the bed and said that!” Most men are more consumed with leading than loving. We need to learn from the affluent, older gentleman. They asked him why he went to visit his ailing wife of 55 years, every single day, in the nursing home. “She doesn’t even know who you are,” they told him. He replied, “No, but I know who she is!”
Men, do you know who she is? Don’t be like the man who said he took his wife to Hawaii for their 25th anniversary. When asked what he was going to do for his 50th, he said, “I may go back and get her!” Your wife deserves better than that. There once was a very wise king named Solomon. The Bible contains a book of love letters between Solomon and his wife. In just eight chapters, Solomon praised her 40 times. Focus less on leading and more on loving. And if you left your wife in Hawaii, don’t wait 25 years to go back to get her!
