Marriage Challenge: Take Your Husband's Advice Seriously

THE "TAKE YOUR HUSBAND’S ADVICE SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE"

This is especially for Christian wives with believing or unbelieving husbands. But Christian single women who are dating/courting/engaged can participate, as well, if you would like. (Keep in mind, single ladies, that you are only to marry a man who is in Christ who is committed to following Him as Lord.)

When your husband gives you advice/suggestions over the next 3-4 days, please do the following:

1. Listen and show him you care about what he is saying.
2. Smile and thank him for his advice and thank God for your husband’s leadership.
3. Try to take his advice (unless it would lead you into sin) and invite God to use it for good.
4. Write down the advice and what happens in your prayer journal.

PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU ARE JOINING IN THE COMMENTS!

If he doesn’t give you advice over the next few days, think back to a time when he did and you didn’t follow it. Pray about that advice and see if it may still be relevant. Then seek to follow it and thank him for his advice.

If you really disagree with the advice, take it to God first before you make a decision. Pray. Invite God to show you what to do. Ask God for wisdom and direction. Ask Him to help you see His will and do His will in the situation. Ask Him to help you see how He may be leading you through your husband.

You don’t necessarily have to do absolutely everything your husband suggests. Some suggestions are just that—suggestions for you to take or leave.

But realize that he is probably looking out for you and he may see things you can’t see. He
