Honoring Husbands

Posted On 04/11/2008 02:28:50 by Tamrajh

I have noticed for quite a while that there are often discussions around how men should honor their wives and treat them with respect. Love them, put them on a pedastool, all that kind of thing. Which I, as a woman, think is wonderful. I love that my husband adores me and treats me well. But I've also noticed that there seems to be something missing in these talks. What about the reciprocal? Shouldn't we, as women, respect our husbands? Not just respect the priesthood, which we are often reminded of, but respect the person who holds the priesthood as well.

Think about it. How often have you come online to see someone complaining about their spouse? I've seen it quite often and more often than not it's a woman complaining about her husband. The same man who goes to work day after day and does what he can to supply a good living for the family. He has trials and difficulties which I'm sure are never discussed with her and yet she, in a moment of frustration or anger, lashes out online and talks about his most intimate problems.

How would we, as women, feel if our husbands were to do that? I don't think it would be tolerated for one minute. If we "walked into" a chatroom where men were complaining about their wives the women in the room would go ballistic with all kinds of accusations and name calling.

I hope to always honor my husband. I know I fall short at times with my own husband, but I keep trying and I know he forgives me when I miss the mark. My husband is a wonderful man; I only hope each of you have such a great spouse.

Take a few moments each day to think of the wonderful things your spouse does. Remember the good and the effort. Ponder on the intent and what's in their heart. Let's all honor our spouses; whether they're husbands or wives.

I just want to say that Sis you have some issues that you probably need to take care of. Don't go spouting off on someone elses blog about your problems.
Anyways I have noticed this too and feel like what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Really should we be getting online at all talking about our marriage problems? I think it is just a recipe for disaster. But that is my take.

Generally speaking women are not abusers and do not have a problem acting appropriately. However, men in the past and in the present seen to have issues with this--not all men mind you. However, we are a world wide church and our leaders are inspired as to what to say and whom to say it too. In todays society we also see men walking away from their responsiblities with former spouses and children. Interestingly enough in the news is the Fundamentalist Mormons again. 400 women and children being removed from the compound. Finding bedrooms in their "temple" and the alledged beating of and sex with young polygamous wives married to 40 and 50 year old men. It's appauling. I dont know where you have been honey, but lots of men are online even on LDS sites trying to get women to fulfill a need they arent getting from their wives. Many lie and say they are single and then you come to find out they are married. I see that a lot more then women in a chat room complaining about their husbands. Its very nice that you love and respect your husband, but in real life some people have real issues. Overall people need to turn off their computers listen to the Prophets talks AGAIN and both the man and the woman need to honor and respect each other.

Hi Tam. One can't help to feel the love that you have for your husband and for the Priesthood that he holds.

I would like to state here thay me wife although lives the U.S.A. is very well suprroted and that was taken care long before she left Australia. my wages go to her and to my family.     it is not a very easy job to love to suport your wife when you have not seen her in two months.

There is nothing that i would not do for my wife or my family.   No matter what i do my wife is always telling me just how pourd she is of me.
