I think I love my wife
I was actually thinking about it.
I was thinking, do I love my wife?
Was in church a few days ago and the preacher compared the love of man and woman to the love of Christ and the church.
He loved the church unconditionally.
He didn't say, "you are not reciprocating my love to you, so I'm not loving you anymore"
He bore the absolute humiliation and became man for my sake.
His grace (unmerited favour) is always sure.
I treat him like shit but he's always there when I need him.
He gave His life for me.
Wives have an easier task - submit to your husbands.
For husbands, love your wife as Christ loved the church.
Forever forgiving. Unquestionably. Regardless.
Even if it means paying the untimate price.
I felt my eyes water when I thought about this particular love.
Is this really the kind of love I should have towards my wife?
Is this what I feel towards her now?
For almost two weeks now, I have rarely eaten the same meal twice.
I have clean clothes to wear always and have not washed any this year.
Our home is always kept in excellent condition.
When I get back from work after her she welcomes me with a hug/kiss and helps carry my work bag into the room.
We discuss every thing from family to work and her advice is sometimes, definitely God sent.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
And I'm still thinking....
Yes, I'm in love with my wife.

Awww... how sweet! Question? How come the only task of a wife is to submit to their husbands? What's up with that?
Nice one dude....
Really you think the woman has the easy task of submission.
Apparenly submission is not easy for women just like love is not easy for the man.
So says the wise ones.
Your wife is indeed an asset.

Now I have to go think if I love my husband.
Respect/submission is not easy to give o, note you have to do this even if he is messing up.

When you put it this way it makes me see it differently....for 5 secs!
As in the women have it easy if submission is all that's required 'cos the men are to love us to death.....
For most isn't that just theory?
I agree with No limit, with a wife like yours, it won't be difficult to love her to death!

hmmm, thats interesting...and here I was thinking women had the tough job of having to submit whether they want to or not.
Yup, thats how men ought to love their wives. I still believe if men loved that way and women submitted, things would be ok in marriage....

Ok ok, I know submission is not easy, especially as I can see the tremendous effort J puts in it. But you gotta admit, men have their job cut out for them. Unfortunately, for a lot of, its easier to default.
@NoLimit: Trust me, sometimes, you'd think. I know. I love her forever!
@Mizchif: Lucky me? Blessed me!
@Joicee: I know I am :) Hurry up and seduce one guy.
@Sting: Clearly even easy submission has a problem with womenfolk.
@JustDB: D'alu
@30+: Thanks for clarifying
@Shonavixen: Do not mind NoLimit. I know her type. She'd do more for her man without batting an eyelid.
@Omo oba: Spot on. So, now you claim you have to submit and love like men are supposed to love huh? Who send you?
@O'Dee: I'm VERY sure you do not have to think about that.
@FQ: Not every feels this way, granted. But we can choose.
@NE: You truly have no choice. Ok. You do, but still, its a bitter-sweet thing. Mostly sweet with the right person.
@Sirius: I have no idea about what? Pray tell!
@Enkay: Only 5secs? Come off it. 5 sec?!
@Original Mgbeks: It was meant to touch. But its only an outward expression of what I felt. Sorry! Feel.
@Dante: You will find. Just keep your eye peeled! Replied you with some contacts.
@Naijagirl: Correct chic. You see the things as a wise woman. Things would not just be ok. They'd be great.
@Olufunke: Think well well oh. I know it aint easy but its well worth it.

You are so blessed. Thanks for the tips...let me go and apply...my warmest regards to Madam.
Awww tobe, even my eyes watered while reading this. "I KNOW you love your wife"

I'm so glad to read this, especially as I've been reading about infidelity and disatisfaction in marriage in other places online this week. I am glad you love your wife and how could you not? She sounds most wonderful.
I trust you are treating her like gold in return?
Have a blessed weekend!

And yeah...I don't know if submission is such an easy task o...
awwwww ya'll are so sweet!! you have a goood wife,and as you say, it's a blessing...what else is really beautiful is that you realize and appreciate that, that is something that many men are guilty of not doing
Your wife sounds divine!
Submission is not as easy as you make it sound for most women but then...when you think of the benefits and you have a man who doesn't lord over you..it's a lot easier!
You got a good thing going there!

Seriously, if my husband was measuring me by d things i do 4 him, bobo for no too love me oh cos i for score low. Except 4 cooking, there is nothing else i do around d house dat he doesn't do more of, if we were keeping tabs. Dat man of mine dey try oh, seriously. & there i am always sulking cos he doesn't like 2 take me out. MM is a hermit! & it'd drive me nuts wenever i have plans & he shoots dem down cos he doesn't want to step out of d house. Hmmm, but dat dude definitely loves me. Now i see am. Serious, e no easy 2 b modern husband oh. kia. More power 2 ur elbow, bros. But, no congratulate urself too much oh. Cos na wen d pickin dem land, na him u go sabi how far love really hard. Cos J fit now no go continue to do laundry.

Its good to see that a man is thinking about fulfilling his portion of the commandment. Too often men are concerned with having/getting a submissive wife and they can't even love their wives as themselves, talk more of loving their wives how Jesus loved the church. Sha, its a good start. Do it and you'll see how the reciprocation will blow your mind away.
