Our wives should be able to trust our eyes and our hearts, our minds and our motives. I believe the area of trust, above all other characteristics, fosters a marriage that can represent the biblical narrative and be an example of the love of Christ for His Bride. If this trust has been violated, it can be restored, but only when we decide to learn to be trustworthy as our Lord is trustworthy. The Christian husband must be consistent in his honesty, leaning on the Lord for guidance and strength during times of weakness. The husband who accepts his responsibility to cultivate trust from his wife will be the husband who loves his wife as Christ loved the church.
Conclusion Let's take a moment to examine our lives.
If we are to be completely honest, I am sure there are many areas were we all fall short. Yet, if we are to walk as we are called and allow the light of Christ to shine through our marriages, we must seek His forgiveness and take up the challenge set before us. Men of God, accept your position of leadership with your wives. Let us not demur from this call, but embrace the desire of the Lord. This will please both the Lord and our wives.
