Marriage Nugget: CAN YOU STILL TURN HIS HEAD? (recap from LFB 2012 and S&P Women’s Conf 2012) Married ladies it is very important in a relationship that we do our part in maintaining the fire in our marriage. Sometimes as wives who wear so many different hats we can find ourselves overloaded and tired. We get caught up with work, motherly duties and maintaining the home that we forget to maintain ourselves. As we know men are very visual and they either like or don’t like what they see. If he married you then he liked what he saw and it is our responsibility to maintain what he saw. I Corinthians 7:34 says There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. Paul notes that it is equally important that the married woman would pay attention to the carnal things that pleases her husband! That word careth means to make a priority! We must pay careful attention ladies that we don’t let ourselves slip in the midst of providing everything else in the home. Slip how? Slip in appearance and taking care of our bodies. Earlier in the same chapter of Corinthians in verse 7, Paul says, The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Wives, we must remember that our body belongs to our husband. And even if you don’t want to, he might want your hair looking pretty, nails done, body fit, and a nice wardrobe, to name a few. We can’t become complacent with what we see in the mirror so much that we make no effort to continue to be attractive to our husbands. I Peter 3:4 says, when you are trying to win your husband to Lord it will not be done by the outward appearance! This is true! But in adorning yourself you are not trying to win him to Christ but to please the “man” in him. You cannot forget that you married a man with the spirit of a man, that God put in him. The same spirit that was in the first man, Adam who was immediately attracted to Eve by her physical appearance! Solomon defined us best by often calling us fountains. You are a garden locked up (in reserve for your man only), my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. If you are his fountain he should always be refreshed by you, spiritually and physically. Take a quick inventory of yourself and ask yourself these questions: Does my husband still compliment me? Do I still make him turn his head to look twice? Do I pay careful attention at the kind of perfume he wants me to wear and to wear it? Do I dress to please him? If you have answered no to any of these questions then it’s time to do some revamping. Only you know what works for your man but make sure whatever works for him that you are working it! Now for a favorite quote from my husband: “Men are hunters and women should keep them on the chase even after marriage. If you are going to bed each night in a flannel night gown with your head tied up and white cold cream on your face. He’s not chasing you because you’re already caught.” According to the most wise Solomon, his attraction to you should not be temporary but should last a life time. Proverbs 5::18-19 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.
