One of the hardest things for any man in a relationship to do is how to love his woman. However, as difficult as this is, it is also very crucial for the survival of the relationship.

It is important to know that loving your wife is the foundation on which your relationship will be built. And it has been discovered that many men do not know how to show love to their spouses and this has been a great challenge by which many marriages and relationships cannot survive.

You, husbands, likewise, live with them wisely, giving honor to the woman as the most fragile vessel, and as co-heirs of the grace of life; May your prayers not be hindered. 1Pet.3

Below are 7 ways to show love to a woman based on the biblical mandates given by one of the greatest apostles on earth, the apostle Peter.

7 ways to show love to a woman

1. Be to her a husband

The word husband comes from the word agriculture, which means the care, cultivation and breeding of crops and animals, management and conservation of resources.

In the same way the husband as the man in a marital relationship is that man who can care for, nurture, manage and preserve the woman in his life. It will be difficult to love a woman when you are not yet a husband.

That is why the Bible emphatically addresses the issue of showing women love for their husbands. He is a husband who can know how to love a woman; his own wife.

2. Live with her

To dwell is to stay with something or someone for a time, to live together as a resident of a particular place, to exist together, to sleep with.

You must dwell with her without worrying about her natural tendencies. Husbands are to stay with their wives in sickness and in health, whether convenient or not.

Living with your woman as a way of showing love is not about her but about you.

A loving husband must be willing to dwell with his wife when things are going well and when they are not. It doesn’t matter if she is a nag, you should show love by living with her despite her weakness and her strength. Do not dwell with her only when she is strong.

3. Treat her with knowledge

This is very important. She is your wife and not one of your brothers. She is your wife and not your girlfriend or concubine. She is not even her personal servant or assistant and she is not to be treated as such.

Treat her with knowledge, realize who she is to you, and dwell with her according to that knowledge. Her wife is an interested party in her affairs. The moment you realize this, the better for you.

4. Give him honor

This is wow! He loves honors, adores and adores. You should honor her both in public and in private, when it is convenient or not. It’s one of the hardest things for a man to do in a relationship, but remember that it’s not about her, it’s about you.

It doesn’t matter if she is contentious, you just have to show love by honoring her.

5. Treat her with understanding

Your ability to understand a woman determines your love for that woman. It would be hard to love someone you don’t understand.

Be aware of their feelings and emotions. Understand their weaknesses and strengths. By understanding it, you will know how to lend help when needed.

6. See her as a co-heir of God’s promises

Two are better than one. No matter how great you are, when you get married you will be much better.

There are certain honors and respects that you cannot enjoy unless you have a strong relationship with your wife. Every married man can testify to this. A good marital relationship always enhances the personality of the people involved. It is a key to higher ground in life and ministry.

You are joint heirs of God’s promises here on earth and you should treat each other that way. Treat her as a traveling companion and pilgrim here on earth. They are both on the journey of life and need each other’s cooperation to end well.

If you don’t do this, your prayer may be hindered, as a good relationship promotes quick answers to prayers.

7. Love her as you love God

Why? This is because if you don’t love your wife who you live with and can see, how can you love God who is not visible to the naked eye?

There should be no gap between your love for God and your wife’s. The same way you love God should be replicated in your spouse.

Again, I want to emphasize the fact that showing love to your woman is not about her or her attitudes, but about you and your obedience to God’s word. It is better to remain single than to have a broken marriage.

Marriage and marital relationships play an important role in our ability to access heaven and get positive responses. Prayers are hampered when there is no marital harmony. When love is not practiced in a home, everything in and around that home will suffer.

I am convinced that with these 7 ways to show love to a woman (if practiced and administered), you will have a wonderful marital relationship with your spouse.
