Most men have used up their 12,000 words by the time they come home from work. But Jesus had time to talk with women. Women need to talk. Conversation is how they establish relationships and feel secure in relationships. A husband like Jesus would sacrifice his need in order to meet wife's need to relate.
Men can be very critical and judgmental of the women in their life.
We accuse our wives by criticism, put downs, and sarcasm. Your wife will wilt in this atmosphere. She needs the sunshine of mercy and encouragement to blossom. For her to grow, you need to give your wife ten compliments and encouragements, for every one criticism. In Matthew 20, we find a lady asking Jesus to allow her sons to sit on either side of Jesus Christ in His kingdom.
