After all these years, she’s still my bride, my lover, my friend. I think the world of Lisa. She is my world but there’s something I had to learn about her, about marriage, about the responsibility of caring for a woman’s heart.
Everyone who knows Lisa sees what I see – a capable, godly, smart, kind woman who is strong for others. But, they don’t see everything I see – a grown woman who is vulnerable, needing protection, love, care, and encouragement. Lisa is a woman whose heart is under attack from the voice of discouragement, condemnation, and inadequacy (sound familiar?). She’s a wonderful wife, mother, friend, and a thousand other positive things but “the voice” doesn’t care about all that and it will never stop. This voice can be resisted, but it’s never too far away, seeking to devour all the good God has done in and through her.
It’s in times like these Lisa needs to hear another powerful voice – my voice – what I think of her. My deep feelings as her husband are not enough. She needs to hear and feel my words of affirmation in her heart. She needs to know my opinion – what I think of her. Pointing my wife to the Truth is one of my responsibilities as a husband.
Your wife is no different. She wants to know what you think – but she especially wants to know what you think . . . of her. Do you value her? Care how she feels? Respect her? Honor her? Feel close to her? Need her?
As husbands, we can think and feel all these things deeply and still never say them . . . never tell her how we feel about her.
Remember, those other convincing voices that tear down and diminish her will never be silent – the voice inside your wife’s head speaking from every clothing advertisement – the voice calling from every corner of society – “You’re not good enough” . . . “You don’t measure up” . . . “You’re to much this” . . . “You’re not enough that.”
But your voice is powerful, too, and far more important to your wife’s heart than anything this world has to say. Which is why it’s important for you to use your power to speak affirming words into your wife’s heart today, tomorrow and every day God gives you together.
Do this and you will discover what every happy, fulfilled husband has learned:
The husband who sincerely and consistently fills his wife’s heart with affirming words of love soon discovers that she returns to him far more than he ever poured into her soul.
