"Live with Understanding"

Scripture Reading:
1 Peter 3:7  (HCSB) Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with an understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honor as coheirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Devotional Reading:

Part of husbands loving their wives is showing understanding toward them. God's Word says, "Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way." Part of understanding is knowing their need for romance. But another part of understanding your wife is meeting their need for security. God's Word says that we are to remember they are the "weaker vessel."  Now ladies, before you start screaming, realize that this does not mean women are weaker than men intellectually, spiritually, emotionally or relationally. Often women are stronger than men are relationally. But they are usually weaker physically. In a world where some men may not have the best intentions toward women, women can feel vulnerable and in need of protection. Providing security for your wife is a way of letting her know that you love her. It meets a great need she hopes you'll fulfill.  Let's be honest most husbands are physically stronger than their wives.  In our day of wishy-washy, measly mouthed, passive men, a woman still needs to know that her man, can protect her and has the physical strength to stand in the "GAP".

Keep the Son in your eyes,
