Do You Fear The Word Unconditional?

Wives, even though 1 Peter 3:1, 2 recommends unconditional respect as a way to win a disobedient husband, you may have fears giving your husband unconditional respect. If so what might be one of those fears?

Please share it with us.

In Hosea 3:1, God calls Hosea the prophet to unconditionally love his adulterous wife. The Lord reveals that unconditional love qualifies as the best way to influence a wife to change her heart.

If such love proved effective for Hosea, how much more will a good willed wife respond to the loving pursuits of a husband?

Husbands, do you have any concerns about giving your wife unconditional love?

How do we plan to meet such goals? One often overlooked – but critical issue – is the concept of forgiveness. With God’s help, this powerful act can help us accomplish all of the above – and more. In my next several blogs, I want to focus on forgiveness – the ultimate strategy for halting the crazy cycles in our relationships.

The Crazy Cycle: Why We Negatively React

As I have shared in my book, Love & Respect, my wife, Sarah, and I learned that we speak different languages. While we had a good marriage, we still struggled with irritation, anger, and plenty of hurt feelings. Often we just couldn’t communicate, but we didn’t know why. A lot of the time it seemed that indeed we were speaking different languages, but we had no idea what to do about it. It was frustrating—and embarrassing. After all, I was a pastor and should have had the answer to something like this!
