It takes two to make a loving Christian relationship that lasts as long as you live. What do you say ladies? What can you do to be the wife that God wants you to be to your husband? 1. Love him unconditionally 2. Listen. Keep the line of communication open. Tell him what is on your heart and be honest. 3. Make time for weekly dates. 4. Pray together 5. Be a giver and not a taker 6. Make him his favorite meal occasionally 7. Occasionally buy him a special little gift. Maybe a book he has been wanting to read or something pertaining to a hobby of his. If he asks you why just say "because I love you" 8. Make him proud that you are the mother of his children. 9. When something goes wrong and it is your fault, admit it. Do not be afraid of the word "I AM SORRY". 10. Since your husband is the Spiritual leader in your house submit to that. 11. Be his helper. 12. Bring him his favorite beverage occasionally without him asking.Coffee or tea. Even take it to him to bed in the morning. Any other thoughts ladies? Men.. What would you like to see in your wives?  4 minutes ago, missmuffet said: Do you have some suggestions GE how a woman can be a loving Christian wife? Miss your 12 point list is good. I think this is going to vary some by the individual and depending on the marriage. I might first determine how my spouse wants to receive love? The 5 love languages come to mind here. Words of affirmation One way to express love emotionally is to use words that build up. Solomon, author of ancient Hebrew Wisdom Literature, wrote, "The tongue has the power of life and death" (Proverbs 18:21, NIV). Many couples have never learned the tremendous power of verbally affirming each other. Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation, are powerful communicators of love. They are best expressed in simple, straightforward statements of affirmation, such as: "You look sharp in that suit." or "Do you ever look incredible in that dress! Wow!" or "I really like how you're always on time to pick me up at work." or "You can always make me laugh." Quality time Giving someone your undivided attention. If your mate's primary love language is quality time, they simply want you, being with him and spending time together. Receiving gifts A gift is something you can hold in your hand and say, "Look, he was thinking of me," or, "She remembered me." You must be thinking of someone to give him or her a gift. The gift itself is a symbol of that thought. It doesn't matter whether it costs money. Acts of service Doing things you know your spouse would like you to do. You seek to please your spouse by serving her, to express your love for her by doing things for her. Consider actions such as cooking a meal, setting a table, emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming, changing the baby's diaper, taking out the trash, picking up a prescription, keeping the car in operating condition — they are all acts of service. They require thought, planning, time, effort and energy. If done with a positive spirit, they are indeed expressions of love. Physical touch Holding hands, kissing, embracing and sexual intercourse are all ways of communicating emotional love to one's spouse. For some individuals, physical touch is their primary love language. Without it, they feel unloved. With it, their emotional tank is filled, and they feel secure in the love of their spouse.
