Loving Your Wife Well | EP. 167

“There is no prayer more powerful than a husband’s prayer for his wife.” – Travis Albanesius

On EP. 167 Travis wraps up the month of April talking about the importance of loving your wife well. After your faith, your relationship with your wife should be your second priority. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” – Ephesians 5:25. Men, we can’t afford to make the mistake of neglecting the most important relationship we have outside of God. If you love your wife, life is going to be so much better! Love is a willingness to give up your comfort to serve your wife, that’s what Jesus did.

SHOW NOTES:

Last week we talked about the importance of building a firm foundation
This week we are talking specifically to the married men
After your faith, your relationship with your wife should be your second priority
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” – Ephesians 5:25
It’s easy to take your focus off of your wife or family and focus on your career, hobbies, or success
I was putting everything into my career, and not my marriage
It’s easy to drift and get out of balance
Don’t neglect the fundamental things
“I realized I was putting my career over my families well being.” – Travis
Our wives are such a gift to us as men
We can’t afford to make the mistake of neglecting the most important relationship we have outside of God
If you love your wife, life is going to be so much better!
The saying, “Happy wife, happy life” is so true
As followers of Jesus we are called to love our wives as Christ loved the Church
Jesus gave His life for the Church
It’s not easy to put our wive’s needs above our own
We can’t do it on our own strength, we need God’s help
If we keep our foundation strong, God will give us the power and strength to love our wive’s well
He wants our marriages to win
One thing I do in my prayer time is consistently pray for my wife
I want to encourage you today to do the same thing
“There is no prayer more powerful than a husband’s prayer for his wife.” – Travis Albanesius
Men, you need to know your wife’s love language!
Love is a willingness to give up my comfort to serve my wife, that’s what Jesus did
Action step this week: Ask God for strength to love your wife well!
- Ask for wisdom to find creative ways to love her
When God asks us to do something, we should do it
What would your marriage look like if you put the same time and energy into it that you put into your career or hobbies?
When we prioritize our faith and our marriage, great things happen
