I am sending you to go and bring
a woman who will open the doors of favour and opportunities onto you. She will
also partner with you to achieve your goals. She cannot be like you at all. She is fragile
and very sensitive. You are the head and she is the neck, so you both are partners
in progress. You’d be surprised if she finds it bizarre that you did not realize
she’s there to help! So, to help your task, here are some vital instructions:
- Don’t ever try to ignore her but correct her in love if she ever develops a fault. Like our elders say; ‘to remove a creeper waved around the hunter’s neck requires patience’. You’re a husband, a representative of my image on earth. I don’t particularly like it when you shut her down. Talk to her lovingly because I the Lord your God I’m love. You should be a physical manifestation of my love to her. You can only make her better if you love her my way.
- Well, I’m your God and first love, but your wife is next and your first partner. To get the best of her, you need to respect her like you would your Mom. She is not an empty barrel; she was created for a purpose too, so help her achieve her dreams. Your savior’s earthly father; Joseph, the husband of Mary is a replica of this, so learn from him.
- You will realize that she fumes and complains about many things. She is as Shakespeare wrote: “Do you not know that I am a woman? When I think, I must speak!” I know your ego does not like being questioned, so resist the urge to get confrontational. Remember, our level of maturity can be seen by how much it takes to get us upset.
- She is a woman of God but still human. She needs your words of assurance to aid her self-esteem. Tell her she is beauty the way she is. Tell her you love her-always. Even though she may find it awkward to make the first move, she also has need for attentions so don’t play politics with her emotions.
- She hates competition; don’t give her the impression that there’s someone out there she has to share your attention with. She wants to be the centre of your attention and appear chic; that’s why she is crazy about fashion. But there is a trait she wants you to develop: enduring love. So be to her a better teacher, lover, father and more considerate, patient and faithful.
- She respects intelligence so go the extra mile to develop yourself so she would be able to trust your sense of judgment and respect you. She also wants you to look attractive for her; neat haircut, trimmed nails, neat cloths, good oral hygiene and good physique. With your tight schedule; I know this may be a tough task but you are a man, you should be on top of your game!
I’d give you more but these are what
you need for now. You will learn more as you progress into the union. Meanwhile,
keep in touch with me in prayers and communion. It is through this that you
will get the wisdom needed to rule your family without strife and confusion and
you will be able to build a house where I am God like the Psalmist wrote in
chapter 144: 12-15 “so that our sons may
be like plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters may be like
corner-stones, polished like a palace building; and our storehouses may be
full, furnishing kind to kind; and our flocks may breed thousands and ten
thousands outside”. Love her like Christ loves the church and she will be
to you, the wise woman in Proverbs 31.
