Show Respect and Love in Your Marriage...... Bro. Schroder
Matt 7:28 & 29... when Jesus finished these saying...they were astounded at his way of teaching... it was not like the scribes... it was as a person having authority.
The scribes and pharisees would be all dressed up, standing on street and demanding respect. Jesus didn't behave in that way.
Eph 5:33... you must love your wife as yourself... the wife should have deep respect for her husband...
the husband doesn't demand respect, but the wife is moved by the way the husband takes the lead, she is moved to give him that respect.
husbands continue loving your wife as the Christ loved the cong.
and how far did he love the cong...he willingly died for the cong.
the world frowns on "the man being the head of the household" because all they ever see is that headship being done wrong.
Like Brussels sprouts... they can be nasty. but when prepared right our attitude can change.
1 Tim 5:8... if anyone does not provide for his own... he is worse than a man without faith.
Without going to the extreme of being a workaholic and materialist, the wife will be able to show that respect when he has a balanced view of providing for the household.
1 Pet 3:7... you husbands in the same way... continue dwelling with them in the same knowledge...assigning them honor as the weaker vessel... in order for your prayers not to be hindered. ..
personal hygiene can easily be neglected, is that assigning them honor?
her emotional makeup... supporting her emotionally. assuring her of his love.
to cherish, when a man gets a new gadget, he loves it. he should feel that way about his wife.
paying them their due. When you owe money, the one you owe is the one that that says when it is due.
so, to pay that and to be sure they are satisfied.
Gen 2:18... Jehovah says... it is not good for the man to continue to be alone... i am going to make a helper... a compliment...
Prov 31:1-.... 13&14... She obtains wool and linen... bringing her food in from afar...
it is scriptural that a wife be out shopping. but to be loved and cherished, requires she is frugal.
a woman goes and buys a bunch of new shoes, she takes out the trash and finds all these boxes... he looks over the check book. will she be loved and cherished?
charm maybe false, and beauty fading... but the woman who fears Jehovah... is cherished.
never would one use the intimacies of marriage as a tool to punish or bargain.
Jud 16:16... Delila... kept nagging and pressuring him... to the point of dying..
nagging and pressuring to the point of damaging her husband, is just never the thing we want to do.
some say men don't talk or want to talk about their feelings. perhaps there are ways of helping men to talk about feelings. men would want to be willing to do so, so they can support their wives.
Col 3:14... clothe yourself with love... it is the perfect bond of union
1:Pet 4:8... have intense love for one another...love covers a multitude of sins...
we know in the last days, LOVE would cool off and be weaker. So it is so important to strengthen that love. Love is like a muscle, that the more you put it to work, it is stronger.
WT... physical attraction and strong impulses can distort our view, we must be extremely careful so that our attraction doesn't distort our view when selecting a mate. it will effect our future.

How Can We Maintain A Waiting Attitude.Mic 7:7... I will show a waiting attitude.
What can we learn from Micah's example?
Micah saw deteriorating spiritual conditions We have to live among selfish people. it can b difficult to endure. let us not cave in, remain loyal and patiently for Jehovah as Micah did. like Micah, we may not live to see the fulfillment of the prophecies, but we can remain faithful until death.
We are waiting to see what events?
we are still waiting to see the fulfillment of the declaration of "Peace and Security" by the Governments of this world.
we know we haven't seen it yet because it would have been followed by "sudden destruction"
What are some ways in which we may express appreciation for Jehovah's patience?
We want to help those who have become inactive.
Loyally support those taking the lead in the cong and accept their direction
Close ranks by drawing closer to one another, over look the imperfections of one another.
Display confidence in Jehovah's leadership
Remain spiritually alert
Patiently wait for the call of "Peace and Security"
