8. He needs you to minister to him. When my Beloved was broken, I made it my aim to build him up and speak the Words of Life into him as often as I could. I’d share the Scriptures with him by either reading him the Word or by writing verses and leaving them on his desk or chair. The word of God does not return void. (If he’s not a Believer and he’s hostile toward the Gospel message, then just pray for him and make sure your conduct and attitude is filled with love and grace.)
9. When your man is down, it’s easy for a wife to just take over….but I caution you to not take this path without first asking your husband a boat load of questions. If your man feels emasculated by your leadership, he’ll withdraw even more. So tread lightly here. Continue to refer to him and find out how he wants things done and then follow through on his request. This action may provoke him to get out of his pit.
10. You’ve got to be in the Word of God as if your life depended on it because that’s where your Source of Strength will come from.
Put your hope in the Lord as you wait for God to move in your man’s heart.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Psalm 39:7
