See, the man is very self-assured outside, but so self-conscious on the inside. He doesn't need a woman who's a critic, or a nag, or a predator, or a competitor. Men are very lonely people, because most of their relationships are only on the surface. But God raises up a special breed of women who are able to give a man a harbor http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-wedding-day-wow-6703 2012-09-19T10:33:28-05:00 At a wedding I saw a picture of how Jesus feels about me and all those who are His - unmistakable, unconcealable, unrestrained love. And I saw, symbolized in that young bride, the response to that love - committing yourself to this One who has proven - in blood - that you can trust Him with your life. 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-make-a-woman-feel-loved-6238 2010-12-09T12:01:42-05:00 To husbands: do you love her enough to make the sacrifices to listen to her with loving patience? That's love in the language of the woman you love. It's the Jesus-way of loving - sacrificing the way you'd like it to be to benefit someone you love. It's more than listening. It's opening your heart to her heart. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/series.php?series=247&topic_name=Biblical Womanhood 2010-08-20T12:25:27-05:00 Join Nancy as she digs into Titus 2:1-5 to discover God's beautiful design for you as a woman.

She needs you. She was wired by God to need you. And you need her. Tell her that. Tell her you're sorry for so often running past her instead of running to her. And tell her, "Honey, I'm home," because you've been away too long. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/woman-power-2804 2009-09-17T16:14:17-05:00 The problem is that men just tend to continue this performance thing in their relationships with women, always feeling they have to be strong, together, right, winning. Until a Proverbs 31 woman comes along, a woman with whom he can share his secrets and know they will never be violated, a woman with whom he can risk being scared, frustrated, weak, unsure. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:25-28&version=NIV 2009-08-27T17:32:43-05:00 IN Ephesians, Paul writes that a husband should love his wife much in the same way as Christ loves his church. He should be devoted to her and protect her. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205:22-33&version=NIV 2009-08-17T23:43:44-05:00 This much-discussed passage describes the sort of marriage relationship Christians should model: mutual service and self-sacrifice. Wives are called to submit to their husbands, and husbands are called to serve their wives. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.5.22-33&version=NIV 2009-07-17T09:27:01-05:00 Husbands and wives are both called to submit to and serve each other, using Christ's relationship to the church as their model. Because Christ's life was dedicated to serving others, that should be our model for relating to our spouses.
