Honoring Your Wife by Mastering Self

By: Dr. Gino Collura

What does honoring my wife truly mean? Well, what work have you done to master yourself, so that in the process of honoring her, you’re also not putting her down with your own insecurities?

We all have our own blind spots and our own gaps and understanding that is just as important as the words that are coming out of your mouth towards her. What are the words that you’re telling yourself every day as an affirmation to understand the quality of human being and the quality of man that you are? Because if you don’t have a sound understanding of you of who you are, you’ll not be able to be the type of partner she needs.

Do you find your identity based off of a dollar amount that you make a year? Or off of social clout?

Most men do, but this is not going to be what the people who love the most would say about you if you weren’t there. This is big a problem. Most men have this challenge because we’re always grinding and hustling. We’re doing our thing right? And we get home and we just want to chill like it’s our sanctuary and place of peace. And this idea of got to do this, got to do that, starts the compound. And when it compounds, that stress builds.
It will affect your ability to communicate effectively in a way that honors your wife.
Instead put in the effort to work on yourself. Understand who you are as a man. And think about how you’re communicating with her. If you do this hopefully it will influence how you both respond to each other.

That’s leadership in the home.
