Love Your Wife Because The Children Are Watching
Apr 14th, 2008 by Paul
Children are great imitators, at a young age they mimic everything you do. They repeat the same words you say, they duplicate your body language and they do things in the same order as they observe you doing things.
I believe one of the greatest legacies you can leave you children is to let them see how much you love your wife. When they see their parents expressing acts of love to one another, your children remember it for life and that love becomes the foundation to relationships they will have later in life.
You ever wonder why a young lady looks for someone like her dad. It’s because that’s all she knows and has been exposed to growing up for eighteen years. Even a young man picks up on how well you treat your wife and will do the same when he gets married.
Children see everything, even down to your body language and facial expressions. Now I know at times they will see disagreements but do your best to keep those behind closed doors. If they do happen to see you debating something, do it with love so that they can learn how to resolve disagreements with others and their own spouses in the future.
Therefore make the effort to set a good example for your children because the love and devotion you express now is what your children see, even when you think they are not watching. So always be in a loving relationship with your spouse and witness the beautiful benefits of your children’s loving nature.
Great blog!!! A great book for married men is “How to Love You Wife” by Dr. John Buri. It changed my life!!
Here’s the short description of the book: Some people have suggested that a successful marriage requires tremendous insight to understand and super-human effort to achieve. Others contend that happy marriages are the purview of a lucky few. In this ground-breaking book, How To Love Your Wife, it is revealed how thriving marriages can actually be achieved through sensible effort by reasonable people. But here’s the catch. Since the majority of marriages in this country consist of unions in which wives are more heavily invested in marital success than are their husbands, much of this sensible effort by reasonable people needs to be consistently initiated and maintained by men. In fact, men often hold the keys to bringing about the type of loving marriage they had hoped for when they first said “I do.” In How To Love Your Wife, these keys are made clear, understandable, and accessible.
