Don't let those things make you forget that people are most important. They're going to last forever. Please, be prepared to stop. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/walking-too-fast-to-talk-6869 2013-05-09T12:08:12-05:00 If you're married or if you're in love, the woman you love needs time to be heard. When a woman isn't heard, she starts to talk louder, and longer, and more often. And she nags because she's not been heard. That time with her needs to be a deliberate choice you make, a sacrificial choice, "I'm all yours, Honey, and I'm yours for a while." That kind of love will create a home that is a caring place, safe place for the man who lives there. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/love-through-a-telephoto-lens-6712 2012-10-02T10:30:07-05:00 whether you're a husband or a wife, this secret of happiness is still the same. Marital and sexual fulfillment is the byproduct of focused love. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-strongest-men-in-the-world-6671 2012-08-06T15:59:18-05:00 Listen to your mother, listen to your sister, listen to your wife...the women in your life. One measure of the strength of a man is his openness to the strength of a woman. The men who listen to and respect the women in their life? They're the strongest men in the world. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/how-to-give-a-man-a-makeover-6631 2012-06-11T10:28:18-05:00 Ruth Graham, Billy Graham's wife, said very wisely: "It is my job to love Billy; it is God's job to change him." That principle applies to sons and fathers to some extent, and certainly to husbands. A woman is a powerful force in changing a man if she makes him feel safe. A man often isn't going to risk changing unless he feels like there's a woman who will love him whether he changes or not. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-radical-side-of-i-do-6590 2012-04-16T10:14:31-05:00 So, laying down your life? It can mean changing diapers, or taking out garbage, or doing the dishes, or caring about the sacrifice of time; the sacrifice that involves listening when you don't feel like it or you don't want to listen that long. She needs your attention; you promised it to her. You promised she would be first. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/what-your-wife-can-t-get-enough-of-6439 2011-09-15T10:41:43-05:00 We can be delivered from that macho frustration that says, "I've got to meet all my wife's needs" and then run from the ones that we can't meet. Together, often, go to your knees and seek your Father for the things that you need. If you're a husband, let your wife live in the secure knowledge that you speak her name often in the Throne Room of Almighty God. She's hungry for your prayer on her behalf, and she can't get enough of it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-rest-of-the-story-6432 2011-09-06T09:49:08-05:00 Think about that person you care about, or that person who's hard to care about. You can focus on what they're putting you through, or what they're going through. And if you'll get the rest of the story, you'll be just like Jesus. http://truewoman.com/?id=1541 2010-11-17T16:56:01-05:00 Some men make multiple decisions throughout the day in their vocational role, while also carrying a large load of responsibility, but when entering the doors of their home feel inadequate and fearful to make the simplest choices. http://truewoman.com/?id=1504 2010-11-17T16:50:17-05:00 So often women lament the fact that they desire a spiritual leader; theylong for their husband to lead–but he won’t!
