Hello My Name Is…Satan

Proverbs 31:12

¹² She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.

It seems like this verse and other commandments saying wives should love their husbands shouldn’t even be in the Bible.  If you’re getting married you’re already in love…right?  So why all the commandments to do so?  I mean...no wife wants to do EVIL to her husband.  And yet I’ve had a wife tell me…

“I can’t stand to even hear my husband breathing.” 

Wow!  Really?  Yes! (just to answer your question)  Ok so maybe you aren’t thinking of ways to “off” your husband but can you honestly say you’ve done him NO evil?  I’ve certainly had my moments of doing evil towards my husband.  No one is perfect.  The point of my articles is to help us become better wives for our husbands, which will ultimately, make us a better Christian for God.  

But how could we have done our husband evil...

*When we don’t show our husbands respect as head of the house or when we don’t allow them to even be head of the house, we’re doing them evil.  You may have heard men say, “My wife wears the pants in our house!”  This isn’t funny, it’s down right sinful. 

 1 Peter 3:6

⁶ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear. 

*When we don’t show them appreciation, we’re showing them evil by letting Satan fill our hearts with thoughts of, “it’s his job as my husband to do this and that.”  

*When we deny our husband his sexual needs we do him evil.  If your husband has asked you to be intimate every night of the week and you’ve said “NO” 6 out of 7…you’re NOT meeting his needs.  You’re doing just enough to get by. 

Judges 16:16

¹⁶ It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.

*When we nag our husband constantly to get what we want, such as Delilah did Samson, we're doing him evil.  Think about this, no one associates the name Delilah with being an excellent wife who loved her husband.  

How will others or your children view your love for your husband?  Will your husband praise you?  Or will he think of all the evil you have done to him?

Proverbs 31:28 

²⁸ Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

Remember you’re setting an example, 

it’s up to you which example others see!
