Many men marry with the expectation of having children. When discovering a wife cannot conceive after several years of not having a baby, he wonders if he chose the right mate. Notwithstanding that most of the other areas of their relationship are going quite well. Too often, the bottom line is whether or not the wife is a good “breeder.” Can she produce an heir or a grandchild to make him and his family happy? Such was the case of a young couple we’ll call Collin and Carlie, who tried to have children for seven years but were unsuccessful. Tired of his family’s badgering about his wife’s barrenness, Collin decided it was time to look for more fertile pastures. He did this despite claiming to love his wife. That pesky, “for better or worse, in sickness and in health” part of the marriage vow was no longer convenient for Collin, who later engaged in an adulterous affair resulting in a child out of wedlock.

Anyone can be good to people who are kind to them, but what about a misguided spouse who is emotionally or physically abusive? You know the kind you want to have a Dathan and Abiram experience.

Being a lady is much more than having a series of female body parts. Like beauty, it goes deeper than the surface of your skin. It’s a part of you that unapologetically embraces your value and invites others to do the same. The Collins Dictionary says that when you suggest a woman is a lady, you mean that she behaves in a polite, dignified, and graceful way. Being treated like a lady is not about making demands of every male you encounter to treat you like a princess. It is more about conducting yourself in a manner where you are celebrated and not tolerated; respectfully embraced and not effaced. In other words, being treated like a lady is something you command by enlightened behavior, not by demanding with aggression.

It’s pretty standard for ladies to list what they want in a man. As a matter of fact, when approached holistically, it’s wise. However, a list limited to the usual handsome, church-going man with money usually falls flat. Those ladies are the first to discover that it takes more to make their marriage work.

Quick question here. Do you know what you’re looking for in a wife? With all the chaos in many marriages today, you must wonder if men are giving any thought to what are essential characteristics of a good wife?

Picking a spouse is not the same as choosing a peach. Chances are, if you don’t have the correct information to determine what a great spouse looks like, you just may end up with a wrinkled prune. Prunes serve a purpose, but they can send you running to the hills for relief, so you may want to have them in moderation. Many people, especially in large societies, resort to online dating sites. Some folks are happy with it; others are not. Stories are often told of people who post profile pictures of their younger, smaller, and more glamorous selves to attract the partner of their dreams. Back in my great grandfather’s day, there was no online dating. In fact, after his wife died tragically in Inagua, where they lived, he realized he needed another wife to help him raise their two sons. Great granddad opted for a mail-order bride from England; he selected a beautiful creamy-skinned young lady from a catalog and paid the fee. She was sent months later on the next boat smoking to the islands.

Many women ask the question, “what’s the big deal with honoring your husband?” For most men, honor and respect are huge elements in their relationship with women, and it’s usually the top consideration with sex coming in at a close second place. Sadly, both are the most intentionally withheld elements—even in so-called Christian marriages. Many marital challenges couples experience today are rooted in a lack of honor and respect.
