I was eating at one of my favorite chinese restaurant the othr day enjoying some orange chicken. All relaxed from a hard day at work.
I noticed this couple sitting across from me. From the looks of him I guess he might work in logging or at one of the local wood processing facilities. It clear to see he is a hard worker. his attitude really cost him my respect. His wife who a with child. Decided she was going to the restroom. When she stood up he grabbed by the wrist. I can tell he had her in a good bit of pain. Her expression gave it away.
"Just where do you think your going!?" He asked with a look of anger.
"To use the restroom," said with a low very fragil voice. One can barely here her unless you struggle.
"Why your up get some more chickem,"he said back.
"Honey, I'm sick please get your own," once again the very frail but pleasant voice informed her.
"I don't give a darn*"(this is edited) he shot back, "your my wife you suppose to obey me!"
A friend of mine who is a police officer stoop up. The man yelled at him"What the fudge is your problem*!?"
The officer replied,"Jerks who can't show their wifes respect" Of course the irrate man said wifes suppose to obey.
Well my friend quoted Eph 5:25. "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself fo her"
The man asked what he gonna do arrest him for being a husband. The officer said no I'm gonna pay my bill. And hang with my good friend here.
My friend whisper to me he's been drinking. Well it was time for him to go back on duty. The yguy and his wife left. Next thing I knew he stopped him as soon as his car hit the highway. Got him on DUI. made me smile.
But I got thinking what makes a good husband. In Christ's eyes.
Actually it really simple. Love her, Cherish her, and honor her. I peter 3:7 (a) says" husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife; Eph 5:28 tells us" So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself."
(2) Be kind . Col 3:19 "Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
The list can go on. I will have to finsh this later. To be continued....
