This Week: What a man needs
Next Week: What a woman needs
 
Ephesians 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ
 
How can I meet the needs of my spouse?
 
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
 
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
 
Ephesians 5:33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself
 
Ephesians 5:33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
 
Wives need “love”
Husbands need “respect”
 
What a man needs
 

• Never treat him like a child

• Never tear him down

 
Proverbs 31:10-12
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.  Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
 

• He needs you to brag about him

 
Ephesians 4:29
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
 

• He needs you to follow his lead

 
Ephesians 5:23-24
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
 
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
