Dwell With Understanding

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Ephesians 5:25-33

Husbands . . . dwell with [your wives] with understanding . . . that your prayers may not be hindered. —1 Peter 3:7

My wife, Marlene, and I have been married for some 30 years, and have learned to appreciate each other and enjoy each other’s unique qualities. But even after all these years she still surprises me from time to time. Recently, she reacted to a news report in a way that was opposite to what I expected. I told her, “Wow, that shocks me. I never would have thought you would land there on this issue.” Her response? “Your job is to figure me out, and my job is to keep you guessing!” The responsibility to understand your spouse is what keeps married life interesting and stretching.

This is an ancient challenge. Peter wrote: “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:7). He saw it as a priority for the husband to become a student of his wife—to know and understand her. Without that commitment to understanding his spouse, a husband is not capable of doing what comes next—honoring her.

As a husband, if I am to love my wife as Christ loves the church (Eph. 5:25), it will begin with the intentional effort to grow in my understanding of her.

SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS: THE FUTURE FOR THE U.S. NAVY IN THE 21st CENTURY

[Kathy in Alaska]

Paperwork...it never goes away, never is complete. Good night and rest well. Thanks for all you do for our troops. *HUGS*

[laurenmarlowe]

I’m sure I would my!

Wish I could squeeze in a few days up there when I am in D.C. in June, need to look into that!

[PROCON]

Are you mad as heck or mad as he...well, you know!!??

[Randy Larsen]

Submariners are a VERY close team, BUT, They like to race cockroaches (for money of course)! Killing a cockroach is frowned upon as assassination of a possible winner.

I guess months under the ocean, requires you to entertain yourself.

I also know that picking a fight with one will require you to fight everyone on the boat!

They really are a close team!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And look at you, monk....right up there in the first minute!
