Day Nineteen: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Read a wife’s description of her beloved in Song of Songs 5:10–16. When you look at your husband, what do you see? Strong arms? Hairy chest? Firm hands? Big feet? Rugged chin? Wide shoulders? Compassionate eyes? Broad smile? Whatever his physical size, shape, or characteristics may be, the way you see him has a profound affect. Almost nothing is as devastating to a man as the belief that his wife finds him repulsive. Sadly, many women unwisely criticize their husbands’ bodies. Have you ever considered how wonderfully God designed men and women? No matter how a man looks—by the standards of the world—a loving God designed them all, and they are all beautiful in His sight. Encourage your husband today by praising his uniqueness. Criticism leaves scars, but encouragement can bring healing. Remember that today as you focus on your 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge. Action Step: As you look over your husband’s body, from the tip of his toes to his bald or bushy head, thank God that your husband is “wonderfully made,” then admire your husband verbally. A Wife’s Prayer Heavenly Father, today I praise You for the way You knit my husband together. You do all things well, so show me the beauty of my husband’s physical form and teach me to be tender with the body You’ve housed him in. Forgive me for criticizing Your work and for aligning my expectations with our current cultural standard. Put in me a spirit of acceptance and love for the uniqueness of my husband.
