Are you having marital trouble? We don’t have all the answers. However we are called to help! Rene and I are certified Christian Marriage Counselors. We know salvation is free and so our counseling is free. I’ve decided to post some messages from time to time praying that these messages might help even just one person who reads them.
Today it’s a message of a “Husbands’ Wake Up Call”
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."
— Ephesians 5:25–28 (KJV)
The Husbands’ Wake-Up Call:
Die to Yourself First
If a marriage is on the brink of divorce, standard advice like "buy her flowers" or "take her out to dinner" will not fix the problem. You as the Godly husband must realize that biblical leadership is not about control, entitlement, or demanding respect—it is about sacrificial service.
Christ did not wait for the church to fix itself before He gave His life for it. He sacrificed Himself while the church was broken, weak, and failing.
1. Stop Expecting Her to Change First: A husband failing his marriage often waits for his wife's attitude or actions to soften before he acts. God places the burden of initiative squarely on the husband's shoulders. Lead by serving, repenting, and humbling yourself first, regardless of how she responds initially.
2. True Repentance Over Temporary Guilt: Grief over losing the marriage isn't enough; there must be genuine sorrow for how he has failed her and failed God. She needs to see consistent, long-term actions, not just emotional promises.
3. Become Her Defender, Not Her Opponent: In many failing marriages, the husband treats his wife as the enemy. The Bible calls a husband to nourish, cherish, and protect his wife as his own body. If she is hurting, distant, or angry, he must ask himself how his passivity, anger, or neglect contributed to that environment, and actively work to heal it.
Key Action Steps for the Husband Today
Own the Failure Unconditionally: Go to her without excuses, defensive rationalizations, or shifting blame. Acknowledge specific ways you have failed to love, protect, or cherish her.
Listen Without Defending: Sit down and let her speak her pain without interrupting, arguing, or offering quick fixes.
Seek Godly Accountability: A man cannot fix a collapsing marriage in isolation. Reach out to a trusted pastor, Christian counselor, or mature Christian men who will hold you accountable to real, daily change.
