Monday, October 27

Husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.—Eph. 5:28.

 

Jehovah expects a husband to love his wife and to care for her physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Developing thinking ability, having respect for women, and being reliable, will help you as a marriage mate. After you have married, you may become a father. What can you learn from Jehovah about being a good father? (Eph. 6:4) Jehovah openly told his Son, Jesus, that he loved him and approved of him. (Matt. 3:17) If you become a father, make sure that you regularly assure your children that you love them. Generously commend them for the good things that they do. Fathers who imitate Jehovah’s example help their children to develop into mature Christian men and women. You can prepare now for this role by lovingly caring for others in your family and in the congregation and by learning to express your love and appreciation for them.—John 15:9. w23.12 28-29 ¶17-18

Spiritual maturity shows in how a man loves, leads, and listens. A husband’s strength isn’t measured by control but by care — feeding his wife’s heart, not just her table. As a father, his power is in words that heal, not wound, in steady approval that reminds his children they’re seen and loved. Learning to express that love now prepares him for tomorrow — because a man who leads like Jehovah already knows the sound of peace in his home.
