Put your way in the hands of the Lord; trust in him, and he will act in your favor (Psalm 37:5).

A husband who physically or verbally abuses his wife needs to take certain steps to repair his relationship with her and with Jehovah. First, he must admit that he has a serious problem. Jehovah sees everything; nothing is hidden from his sight (Ps. 44:21; Eccl. 12:14; Heb. 4:13). Second, he must stop mistreating his wife and change his behavior (Prov. 28:13). Third, he must acknowledge before her and Jehovah the harm he has caused them and sincerely ask for their forgiveness (Acts 3:19). He should beg Jehovah to help him control his thoughts, words, and actions, and to give him the desire to change (Ps. 51:10-12; 2 Cor. 10:5; Phil. 2:13). Fourth, he must act in harmony with his prayers and learn to hate hurtful words and all forms of violence (Ps. 97:10). Fifth, immediately seek the help of the elders in the congregation, who will treat you with love (Jas. 5:14-16). And sixth, draw up a plan of action so as not to fall into any of these things again. w25.01 11 par. 14

How can a husband show affection to his wife?

Showing them affection. Some husbands who have very happy marriages make it a habit to show their wives how much they love them every day (1 John 3:18). A married Christian can do this with small things, such as holding her hand or giving her a tender hug. He can also send her text messages saying “I miss you” or “How’s your day going?” From time to time, he can write her a letter or a nice card with thoughtful words. When a husband does these things, he honors his wife and strengthens the marriage.

Why should a husband praise his wife?

Expressing appreciation and gratitude to her. A husband honors his wife by telling her why he values ​​her and making her feel good. For example, he never forgets to thank her for all the support she gives him (Col. 3:15). When a husband sincerely praises his wife, she feels secure, loved, and honored (Prov. 31:28).

How can a husband show respect to his wife?

Treating them with kindness and respect. A husband who loves his wife views her as a beautiful and priceless treasure given to him by Jehovah (Prov. 18:22; 31:10). Therefore, he values ​​her, cares for her, and treats her with kindness and respect, even in the most intimate and private moments. He does not pressure her to participate in sexual acts that would make her uncomfortable, degrading, or that would trouble her conscience. And he also strives to keep his own conscience clear before Jehovah (Acts 24:16).
