what is godly love?

IS NOT JEALOUS

If you love your husband, you will not be jealous of him.

LOVE IS NOT BOASTFUL

A husband desires that his wife behaves in a humble and meek manner towards him.

He desires that you not act in a prideful way.

IS NOT ARROGANT

You are not always “right”, and you don’t have to be.

You must accept correction from your husband.

LOVE IS NOT RUDE

Many times we will be polite to strangers, but short and rude with the people we live with, because we are with them all time.

We are to be more polite to our husbands than to anyone else.

IS NOT IRRITABLE

Love requires patience to resist irritability.

Sometimes emotional imbalance contributes to irritability.

LOVE IS NOT RESENTFUL

Do not hold a grudge against your husband when he makes a mistake.

DOES NOT INSIST ON ITS OWN WAY

Do not be rigid and set in your ways, plans, and ideas.

Give up selfishness and be willing to bend.If you love your husband, you will be flexible

and willing to compromise.

LOVE DOES NOT REJOICE AT WRONG

Love does not say “I told you so”.

Love does not laugh at someone’s weakness or mistakes.

Our husband desires that we love him more than anything else; More than sacrifices made for your marriage.

If you are going to love your husband with godly love you are going to have to be patient with him; kind to him. You will have to be unselfish with him; put his needs before your own.

You will love him by rejoicing in the good things about him, and the good things he does.

Loving your husband will require that you bear all things in the marriage, all things he does, and all things he is.

You will believe all the best things about him.

You will hope all the best things about him.

You will endure all things about him.
