This is your Husband!
Reading: Song of Solomon 4:1-15
"She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness" (Prov 31:27)
A fast-forward into time will tell us that the level of intimacy that got us through the nineties is not enough to sustain us through
the twenties and over. Many women flounder, unable to understand their husbands. A few hints to understand your love —
1. He likes you to look your best.
He doesn’t like you to be sweaty and smelly at home. So be clean and smart at home. Dress pleasantly when you go out. The Song of Solomon speaks of the cleanliness of mouth and dress (4:11). Have good housecoats and nighties for homewear. Be sensitive to his comments about your appearance, and instead of sulking at his negative remarks try to improve. If there is bad breath or any such thing, attend to it. He may welcome a new hair-do too!
2. He likes a clean home.
Housewives are called so, though they are not the wives of their houses! The term obviously indicates their primary responsibility.
Cobwebs hanging all over, dust sedimented on windows, slippery smelly bathrooms are commonplace today. Be brisk and active at home. Keep the frontyard and backyard clean. Have a flower vase. Spread a table cloth. Mop the floor. Don’t allow the garbage to remain till it stinks. These affect the household atmosphere very much
(Prov 31:27).
3. He likes good food.
To expect the husband to eat yesterday’s leftover kills his spirit. Good food does not mean costly food. Variety is necessary. Don’t
cook whatever the helper brings. Go to the market yourself whenever possible. And select the vegetables. Show interest in
culinary skills. Cut, colour and arrange in new ways. Try new recipes. When he appreciates somebody’s cooking don’t pounce on
him, learn it.
4. He likes to decide things.
He doesn’t like you to be interfering in all his decisions or telling him what to do, though he welcomes suggestions. Don’t fret when he handles finance. His leadership at home must be respected. Don’t scorn his decisions. Stand by him in his mistakes and help him. He is not an angel to be perfect. He starts learning to be a husband only after marriage. So be patient and grow with him with a gentle and quiet spirit.
