My Husband Has This Down!

Maybe, you guys can think of somebody right now who also has this down to the wire? Perhaps, it might even be yourself. Personally, for me I know I don't have this down. Not even close LOL. I'm talking about love. Respect is also part of love. So, when we look at it that way I definitely do not have that down. When love and respect are missing in a relationship, things can get bad.

Of course, there is not 1 person who really has the love for your wife or respect for your husband thing perfectly down.or all the other good things down to the wire. That would make us perfect. Think you all know what my thoughts are on perfection. Oh wait maybe not, I have given out cards to new people lately. Basically, Perfection doesn't happen. Doesn't exist. Perfection is found in God, only! 

But of course from what I see definitely most times from my husband is this. Love from the way he shows it, is sacrificial. Yep, he sacrifices a lot for his disabled wife. 

One thing out of many things he sacrifices for me are "his ways." What do I mean? I'll give an example. We are going our to eat and looking for lunch, I say I would like Kentucky Fried Chicken. Joe would want McDonald's, but he wouldn't say anything. He would just let us all get Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's one example. 

I don't want to get too much into that. But I do want to stress to you guys, and also for Sam to be mindful that children of God they know and well they ought to put others interests above themselves

 Philippians 2:3 ESV 

  22 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves

Romans 12:10 ESV 

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

1 John 4:7-8 ESV 

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Philippians 2:4 ESV 

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others

The little example I shared about Joe utilizing sacrificial love is just that a little. Oh, believe me there is many more things he does to display his sacrificial love to me! It's some wives problem and have a minimum  lack of appreciation. 

I could totally imagine the "crazy cycle" popping up in fellow marriage relationships

When husbands aren't getting the respect they deserve so they retaliate and don't show the love the wives deserved and vice versa with wives retaliating my not showing in the husband respect if they don't receive the love.  Yep, crazy cycle!

You know who really showed sacrificial love to us? All of us? Jesus Christ sacrificed everything so that we would have life! That's  pretty awe inspiring, magnificent, and awesome. We all should just take a minute and just marvel at this deep thought!
