Reading Assignment
Lesson 12
“Fight for me”
Notice that Sonny said, “Fight for me,” not “Fight with me.” Every time conflict arises at home, your husband becomes vulnerable in the world. There really is a war raging all around him. The enemy’s goal is to steal your husband from you and the tactics being used are endless.
The battle is fought in three stages. First, the world wants to steal his time. Work, sports, friends, even church can be used by Satan to rob you of his presence. To defend your marriage from these intrusions, remember these suggestions:
Work – Remind your husband that having him at home is worth more to you than a big house, an extra car, or expensive vacations. Fight for him. Tell him and show him that you can survive on less if it means having him more. The average credit card debt in America is over $2000. Women who contribute to this debt are not helping their husband spend less time at work.
Sports – Whatever the hobby, it is important that you take an interest in his interests. Fight for him. You can learn to like almost anything if you have the right motivation. Your marriage could be at stake. Think of that as your motivation.
Friends – Sonny and I have known an endless number of couples who have had their marriages destroyed by their friends. “One flesh” means best friend. No one should be closer to you than your husband. If you cannot share something with him, then you should not share it with anyone. Fight for him. Make him your best friend. Keep him your best friend. Do not allow friends to steal your time with your husband.
Church activities – There are a growing number of ministers and their wives who are seeking marital counseling today because they have place “church work” ahead of family. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” Even too many church activities can be used as a tool of the devil. We are not trying to discourage involvement in the Lord’s work. We simply want to remind you that building strong marriages is the Lord’s work.
Secondly, the world wants to steal your husband’s affections. If they can monopolize his time, then they can penetrate deeper into your marital defenses by capturing his affections. It cannot be emphasized too much how important it is for women to spend time, energy, and even money to keep their husbands attracted to them. Dream about it. Plan for it. Strategize and monopolize. He is worth it. Fight for him!
Thirdly, the world wants to steal your husband’s commitment. If they monopolize his time and capture his affections, then it will not be long until this final wall of defense will be threatened. Commitment comes from investment. Your husband will invest in you if he must depend on you. Give him daily reminders of the ways that you can fill his needs like no one else can. Fight for him!
A jealous woman gave her husband regular nightly inspections as he came home from work. Even the smallest hair on his coat could lead to a dreadful interrogation. For month, these inspections continued until one evening she found nothing. Bursting into tears, she screamed, “Even bald women now!”
Wives would do well to spend less time doubting their husband’s faithfulness and spend more time fighting for his attention. A man’s mind is like the many rooms in a house. Fight for him in the bedroom and you will empower him to survive in the “world” room.
Thought Questions
1 Corinthians 7:2-5
“… since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
Paul begins this important passage by telling why it is so important – “… since there is so much immorality.” Make a list of five immoral temptations that your husband is confronted with daily. Beside each, write down the ways that you are fighting for him and the specific things that you are doing to help him overcome those temptations.
Paul calls it “marital duty.” Although this might not sound very tender and romantic, war is very rarely either of those two. Why does Paul use such a strong term like “duty” in this context?
How far should a wife go with the words, “The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband”?
Paul mentions the dangers of depriving each other even for prayer. He says that this should be done only for a brief time and only “by mutual consent.” Why might mutual consent be so important to your husband? Wives would do well to notice that “marital duty” is an absolute in this context and its meaning is strengthened by the phrase, “The wife’s body does not belong to her alone.” Have you ever withheld your “marital duty” in order to manipulate your husband or punish him? Have you ever withheld your “marital duty” simply out of convenience or a lack of want to? Just as a man will be condemned for pushing his wife into sin if he does not provide for her the things she calls affection, she is equally guilty, if she withholds the things he calls affection.
Does a man’s failure to provide his wife with her definition of affection give the wife the right to withhold his definition of affection?
