NOTE: This lesson, and several of the following, are written specifically for husbands. I would encourage you to share them with your husband by reading it together, or in whatever way works best for your relationship, learning alongside of him with a kind and respectful attitude. Pointing fingers or arguing is not the goal here. Asking him questions like, “What do you think about this?” “Is it accurate?” or “Do you believe this is biblical?” Agreeing with the things you find that are true in your life is helpful to him. It gives him ideas about how you think. Also, you and I probably have differing personalities, so there may be several things you would add to the list of “ways that a woman defines affection” or some that you might take away from the list. These are good discussions for you and your husband to have. I would also love to hear your ideas. Please feel free to share them with me—in a kind and respectful way, of course!
Reading Assignment
Lesson 4
“Call me from work”
The woman presented her husband with a list of five things she needed him to do before coming home from work. For fun, she listed “Think about your wife a lot!” as assignment number five.
That evening, the husband proudly reported that he had accomplished all five of the tasks. As the wife looked at the list, she noticed that all items had been crossed off the list except number five. “What’s this?” the wife exclaimed. “Didn’t you think about me at all today?” Her disappointment quickly vanished when he cheerfully replied, “I started to, but I just never finished.”
Few things mean more to a woman than knowing that her husband thinks about her. The reason this is so important is because it communicates three things:
First, it tells her that she is a priority in your life. When the average working couple spends more of their waking hours with someone else’s spouse during the week than they do with their own partner, knowing that you are a priority is very important.
Secondly, it tells her that you recognize the importance of expressing your affection. We will deal with this more in a later study guide, but, for now, please know that calling home from work can be a very important part of your wife’s definition of affection.
Thirdly, it tells her that you are working outside the realm of the normal male thought process. Men tend to think in compartments. Their mind is like a house with many rooms. When they are in the workroom, they think about work. When they go into the homeroom, they think about home.
Women, on the other hand, think in one flowing stream of emotion. All parts of a woman’s existence flow into this stream. They become her identity and can impact her at any given time.
When a man calls his wife from work, she knows that it took a special effort for him to bring the workroom and the homeroom together. A wise wife will understand this sacrifice and will appreciate it like she would a very expensive gift.
Thought Questions
Genesis 29:20
“So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel,
But they seemed like only a few days to him
Because of his love for her.”
Although the emphasis of this passage is on Jacob’s endurance through love, how do you think it made Rachel feel to know that she was the inspiration for such endurance?
On a piece of paper, write a love letter to your wife explaining how thoughts of her help pull you through those long, boring days at work. Mention Genesis 29:20 and its parallel to your relationship.
Ruth 2:13
“May I continue to find favor in your eyes,
my lord,” she said. “You have given me comfort
and have spoken kindly to your servant…”
These words were spoken prior to Ruth’s marriage to Boaz. By reading the preceding paragraph (Ruth 2:11-12), it seems clear that Boaz was already attracted to her, and his words were meant to show her kindness and provide her comfort. Can you list three phrases you have used in the last week that did not communicate kindness? Can you list three that gave your wife comfort?
It is estimated that the average woman speaks twice as many words in a day as does the average man. Verbal communication is very important to a woman. When a woman asks, “How was your day at work?”, she is not just offering a polite greeting, she really wants to talk about the day. Men often struggle here because it means that they again have to act outside the normal male thought process. They have entered a new room. The workroom is left behind. They are now in the homeroom, and it is difficult and sometimes even unpleasant for them to unite the two. What might a man do to fulfill his wife’s need for communication without revisiting the unpleasant events of his day at work? Why might it be vitally important that he does revisit those events with her?
