“I will very gladly spend and be spent for you.” 2 Corinthians 12:15
“She that is married careth ...
how she may please her husband.”
1 Corinthians 7:34
Although a satisfied husband will likely have more energy to meet his wife’s emotional needs, this should not be our reason for loving him. True love is about giving, not getting. God wants a wife to give her husband 100% even if she doesn’t feel that she is getting 100% in return. If our strength and our supply of love seem empty because our reservoir is not being replenished by our husband, we can still go to God’s well and drink of His inexhaustible supply of love and strength. Then we will have the grace to give when it doesn’t seem deserved, and the strength to give when we would otherwise be drained. Remember, God is the One who created us to fulfill our husbands, and God is no man’s debtor.
