Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Ephesians 5:25 (MSG) If you haven’t already noticed, men and women are very different. If you do not learn to appreciate these differences, you may end up feeling frustrated with the opposite sex. This is especially destructive within a marriage or dating relationship. You may inadvertently destroy each other’s self-esteem as well as the intimate bond you share. On Saturday we covered the unique needs within a man. Today let’s look at what women generally crave. She needs to be cherished. Material possessions, status and wealth will not cut it. A woman needs to be shown that she matters. When it comes …
Las mujeres son diferentes
Esposos, amen a sus esposas como Cristo amó a la iglesia y dio su vida por ella. Efesios 5:25 (DHH) Si no lo ha notado, los hombres y las mujeres son muy diferentes.

Los hombres son diferentes
En todo caso, que cada uno de ustedes ame a su esposa como a sí mismo, y que la esposa respete al esposo. Efesios 5:33 (DHH) Dios hizo a los hombres y mujeres especialmente diferentes.

Men Are Different
Let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly]. Ephesians 5:33 (AMPC) God made men and women uniquely different. We complement each other perfectly, but these complementary differences mean we need to stretch ourselves to understand one another. Today we will cover three common needs within a man: Admiration. Critical statements demoralize him and make him withdraw from the relationship but his confidence soars when you communicate admiration. Autonomy. Most men need to retain a sense of independence and have an opportunity to think, focus and problem solve. They need to be able to …
You Move Toward Those You Honour
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Romans 12:9–10 (ESV) Communicating what you respect about those you love has great rewards. You see, you will tend to move toward the people you honour, and those you honour also tend to move toward you. In this way, honouring has a powerful effect on relationships. On the other hand, if you have feelings of disrespect toward someone and you communicate that disrespect, you cause distance within the relationship. Disrespect can easily build within the closest relationships if you’re not careful. If you’re a teenager, you may struggle with this especially. As a child, you were blind to your …
