Well Loved Husbands


Would you say that your husband feels well loved?

Do you study him to find out what pleases him?

Do you know what makes him happy?

Do you fix him food that he enjoys?

Do you satisfy his sexual needs?

Does he know that you want good for him and not evil?

That you have his best interests at heart?

That he is a priority to you over your children?

Do you make time for him?

Do you do the things he asks you to do?

Do you spend the money wisely?

Do you keep his home clean and organized {at least as much as you can if you have a lot of children in the home}?

Does he feel like he is head of the home?

God commands wives to love their husbands. As you love and serve your husband, you are loving and serving Jesus. So I encourage you to make sure your husband knows he is well loved. This just may lead to a heavenly marriage.

Encourage the young women to love their husbands. 
 Titus 2:4

Yes, I do!
I love your post so much that I shared it on my FB and twitter. Marriage has definitely been taking a beating in the news lately. I also share that I respect my husband, myself and my marriage. You have to nuture your marriage ladies.
I do need to work on the list! Thanks, Lori!
I read this list to my hubby, because I felt like I could say 'yes' to all of them and guess what??!! He agreed!!!!! All praise to God for changing that in me. We have always had a pretty good marriage (almost 13 years!!!), but it's definitely grown amazingly better over the last 1 1/2 that I've 'seen the light'. Awesome list, couldn't agree with them more!!!
Beautiful post, Lori.
There are still a couple of things I could work on in this list, but I am getting much better through your teachings here.
Thank you.
Hugs, Deborah
Excellent post. I'm certainly doing a lot of it. One day I'll be doing it all :)
enjoyed this post very much. I have saved this on my computer and printed it out for my husband to read.
I'm new to your blog. I like it a lot. I say that under a pang of conviction. My marriage has been on the back burner for a long time. I read Love and Respect years ago and practiced those principles, but like anything, it's easy to get out of the habit.

I wouldn't say I have a difficult marriage. It's of course not what I imagined it would be, but he's a good guy. He loves and provides for his family. He attends church. He supportive of me being at home with our children. So not difficult at all. Just different.

I know how the crazy cycle of Love and Respect works, but I'm stuck in the rut of it.

I can't say yes to the majority of these questions. And right now I'm really struggling on how to get back to that place.
Hi my husband and I were reading through this but got hung up on the one that says "That he is a priority to you over your children." What exactly is that supposed to mean? Together as husband and wife our children are a priority over ourselves. How then is a husband or wife to choose one another over our children???

What a beautiful post! Thank you so much for sharing with us. You encouraged me to be a better wife today. My husband will thank you. ; )
Wonderful post. Thank you for sharing it as we could all use the gentle reminder from time to time.
What a lovely post! I'm planning on giving my husband a giant hug and kiss when he comes home tonight.

Also, would you please share a post on how you make your husband feel loved at our "Imagine the Impossibilities" challenge? I launched it this week with 5 other blog friends ... it starts now and all culminates in a multi-blog Jan 31 linky party. You can read more about it here ...

Marriage has suffered terribly in the last 50 years, and the way to fix it one home at a time is to become women that build up and not tear down. I am still learning this, but the Lord is at work, praise God! Thank you, Lori, for your encouragement. Everything you write is right on!!
Great reminders in this post - I just finished reading Real Marriage, a fantastic Bible-based assessment of what marriage is and should be, so this is well timed!
What a wonderful reminder! Just found your blog and enjoyed reflecting on the questions you posed. I'm learning how to love my husband well.

Now you know this post is going to make me running screaming for the hills, Lori. I'm not into gender-specific relationships and I don't believe in God commanding anything whatsoever.

However, in the spirit of our friendship, I will say that my husbie is a very happy man indeed. How we live works for him and (very importantly) it works for me too.

I hope so. I have one of the best husbands too and I do make an effort to do all these things and when I fail, I know he's amazing enough to understand. Thank God I was lucky to get one of the good ones.
