Amen. It took me way too many years to honor and respect my husband the way he deserves. Thankfully, we were able to find God and find each other again. In 15 days we celebrate our 29th anniversary and I am thankful every day for my husband.
Amen 🙏🏾 congratulations ❤
In our society, we have a humility problem. Arrogance is praised and humility and meekness are shunned. It's why we so often have marriages that have so much toxic and harmful behavior. We need to turn to God for our healing.
I agree with your statement wholeheartedly.
so well put.....GOD Speed!!
Over 21 years of being with my husband I had to learn to humble myself before him (right or wrong), work on changing myself (my combative spirit) and pray for the both of us. God is a miracle worker!!! We still have work to do but we have come a long way. I 100% love my husband more today than I did over the past 21 years. It can be done, but must start on your knees in prayer (my face is to the floor). God bless
I love your comment. I need to stop being combative.
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@MichelleNagir same here 😢😢😢
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏾 praise Jesus Christ!
I need to stop nagging my husband and start helping to encourage and cheer him on, even through the frustration. As unto the Lord. Thank you for this Biblical approach to marriage!
Pray for him also!
#Metoo
I suppose there is a reason for the nagging a cry for help we have all been there dont be hard on yourself I have been there u cannot change that however knowledge is power. We are all learning 🙏 Love of jesus is the best one u can get I learnt. ❤
Amen Sis, may the Lord work in you both to will and do of His good pleasure in this regard in Jesus name. Amen.
@Andre Leite da Silva Why would you ever say women can't love men?
People continuously say "What if my husband doesn't respect me?" Then you married the wrong person for the wrong reasons. I'm not a religious person necessarily, however I am submissive to my husband. Why? Because it happened naturally. He takes amazing care of me, supports me financially and works incredibly hard. I stay home and keep the home clean, make him home cooked meals, run errands etc. I absolutely love to take care of him and make our house a home, and he loves to be the head of the house and take care of me. While I believe he should get the final say in decision making, he is always wanting my input and we make decisions together. You must marry a GOOD man. Do not get married for the wrong reasons. Marry someone who is responsible, who respects you as a person and will treat you like gold. Being submissive to men like that come naturally.
Yes Rachel. You are a beauty. God bless you and your husband. Also, as a believer in Christ I'll kindly remind you that Christianity is really not a "religion" but a relationship. There's so much freedom in Christ. Every blessing.
Rachel Harlow Men and women can change , in Marriage you have to accept those changes,for good and for bad . We need answers on how to continue on and not get discouraged.
Rachel Harlow praise God..
Rachel Harlow oh I love this lady. Agree. Huge AMEN!
@@karlenmgl if they beat the crap out of you do you want us to accept those changes?? I think not im getting the hell out
"I'm to recognize my Husband position even when I disagree with his point." 🌹 I agree
Why do you disagree? Is he being a mailman and you disagree with the mail?
No
I recognize God’s edicts on my behavior, even tho they may be challenging at times. It’s just another layer of respect.
A wife Submission to her husband plays an important role in the covenant marriage. ❤ ❤ Amen I choose to submit to my husband always in every area.
These are all good comments. What do I do when mine Refuses counceling? & We lack communication skills,& how to get along & be friends.. but both go to church..Most church folks Need therapy..But Never hear it in church...emotionally Sick, & hurting, unhappy most of the Time ...
I enjoyed this Godly teaching. My mother, who’s now with the Lord, used to say, “Anything with two heads is a monster.” She was implying that marriage had a hierarchy; that the head of the wife was the husband, and both couldn’t rule. She knew submission was about positioning (allowing for the husband’s leadership in the household) which showed not only love and respect for God’s authority as well as the husband’s; but also the blessings benefitting the family as a whole...to maintain peace and order. My mother was a wise woman, and I’m grateful for her life lessons.
Amazing. It's amazing how this works. I pray for the grace to be submissive to my spouse. I've been blessed with a very wise and humble partner who is equally selfless and I'm grateful to God for such a blessing.
Amen 🙏🏾, your mother was a wise woman. My mother is also with the Lord. ❤
I'm going to start doing this because I love my husband. I want to show him I respect him.
Amen ❤
This may be hard to swallow for some of you, but I can tell you through experience that this is attitude and behavior towards your husbands IS WORTH IT! We married in 2003 and by our 7th year I was ready/wanting to not walk away but RUN. I has a book that told about these exact principles (from another author) on my night stand. For 2 YEARS, I was too angry to even crack the binding. When I did I only read what was expected of me because if I had read what the Lord expected of him, I think it would have broken me completely. We went through the “Love and Respect “ which is why NOW I can listen to THIS with a SONG in my heart and can tell you YES!! You won’t KNOW peace or TRUE joy outside of God’s will and THIS IS God’s will for marriage! We not only LOVE and CHERISH each other but we LIKE each other as well!!!
What book did you read? Thanks!
@@cherry3x841 love and respect I think she said.
well arent you lucky, you like your husband after all that, i know what you mean though and its quite a great thing you made it the 7 years. I will try, Im at year 15 and have wanted out long ago.... respect and reverence is The problem. But I will start with the apology thing, first thing in the am.
As a single woman of God...this sermon is helping me to prepare for marriage!!!!! GREAT teaching 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✝️🛐😊🤴🏾
This Sermon really has opened my eyes to how I treated my husband. Lord fix me on the inside.
I had this series on a set of cassettes tapes back in 1992. This is that old but still worthy today.
Yes, will forever be needed
Wow, this is so relevant I thought the sermon was recorded around the same time it was uploaded!
The word of God never get old. The world and everything will pass before the word will.
I can't keep watching this at work. People going start thinking I'm crazy how I keep making noises wanting to run up and down this store. Great message
Great teaching. It has already improved my marriage and family. Praise God.
Best Biblical teaching that I have found.
frexandbera Vinc respect and love go hand and hand
frexandbera Vinc please there is nothing like a lowly human being. Also I if you listen to the message preceding this on “HOW TO LOVE YOUR WIFE” it will make perfect sense for you
The devil tries to break up families God bless marriage between a man and a woman😇😇😇
@ Luis T.
The devil always uses women to break up families. Because the woman was made for the man . Not the opposite .
Wow. I have a lot of self examination to do. This is good. I want to be like the best version of myself for my husband and the world. Thank you so much 🙏❤️🙏
Me 2 sis
Wow! What a wonderful woman you are. My wife absolutely will not follow my lead. It has depressed me and I feel like a failure. It's lonely and pitiful. So much so, I am writing this comment. I feel emasculated.
God bless your family
@@100PROOF-G I am so sorry you are experiencing this. Don’t give up. It’s neither of your fault so no blaming. I’m assuming you are from the USA? All of us have been taught wrong. We encourage girls to be independent, delay family until they’ve built a career, we say things to her that aren’t productive like, “You don’t need a man!” This is why our culture is disintegrating. The guys are raised to give her her space, never lead her, love her, guide her in a Godly way.
She’s not taught you need respect ✊🏾 more than love. I’m sure you are a treasure, and you both are blessed to have each other. Maybe try persuasion with her. I truly speak life into your marriage and wish you and your family safety, health, and infinite blessings forever ✨🙏✨
@@Kiki_dela_mar what an encouraging word! I thank The Father for your words right now. I feel tormented. However, my strength in Him has no equal. I will continue to be who He made me to be. I am too thankful to deviate.
God bless you and your family, forever
My husband says I disrespect him by not doing what he tells me to do. I ask him what that is, he tells me that I know. I do not verbally disrespect my husband nor nag him. He gets mad that I don’t. I had always made him my number 1 in my life till he continued to blame me for his failures. Only God can help our marriage. He also tells me I’m a fake Christian and I find myself hiding from him my Bible readings and studies. I love sharing the word of God with him, but he gets offended. I worked part time till he lost his job in 2011 where I started working full time to get insurance for our family. He gets upset that I’m working and not doing anything for our house. I could go on, but would like prayer for my marriage.
I pray that calmness and peace is restored in your family. May God do for you that which you secretly and earnestly pray to Him for. It is done, in Jesus name Amen!
I'm at the door of divorce with my husband. He still lives in the house at this time. But before I divorce, ill try everything possible. So, after hearing this sermon. When he gets home I'm going to ask him to listen to this with me. Thanks and God Bless.
Clifard Smith hi, i hope you didn't divorce, hope all went well?
Clifard Smith good luck with that😴
@@gitari44
Wives have no right to divorce . The husband cleaves to his wife and NO ONE has a right to go against that .
But it's ok .
Let's overlook the Truth and reap the worst .
I pray everything worked out for your marriage...
Why would he have to listen to it, it's for YOU!!!
Definitely right in point! This makes me examine myself. I will be the wife my husband needs and the devil just gonna have to be mad!!!
THIS message was awesome; YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION, I will be following this series. As a single women this will help me as I prepare to be the best me I can be. A great Me, a great Wife, A great mother, A great leader, A great helper, A great role model etc..... Thank you and God bless.........
Rukiya Williams praise God...
Thanks for the message Tony even
I truly hope God sends a man who can handle your greatness, because if you find one by yourself who don’t know his role and how great he is, he gonna have a problem with your greatness.
Are you still single? Lol just curious. Seeing this is 5 years ago.
@@bkjetsfan1 No, been married a longtime.
Once you have a respectable man, respect is natural.
This is like the third time I listened to this sermon over the months. I love it… it continues to motivate me to do right and work on myself and my attitude towards my marriage and husband.
Amazing message truly meant for me, I have been asking God why things are not changing in my marriage and to know and acknowledge I lack in the area of my role has humble me to know God answer my prayers through this message. Thank you!
Wow, this is Great Teaching, Ladies we must take our rightful places as wife but in the righteousness of God...
frex vinc Accountability is for everyone. This sermon was on Respecting your man. Don't get it twisted I know the man shall Respect the woman. He is to Love his wife as God Loves the Church.... STAY EMPOWERED
frex vinc I don't ever have to argue about the God I serve. I study my Bible not read it. We all have fell short. I Thank God everyday for another opportunity to serve in Kingdom Building.. I haven't accused you of anything. Take all your concerns to God. STAY EMPOWERED!!!!!!
frex vinc God will never bless disobedience.
frexandbera Vinc Hi! I hope you are doing well, even though this message came from a man, it's still truth. The Bible says we have to remove the plank from our own eye before we can assist our brothers (husbands) with the speck in theirs. Sure is humbling! Even the Lord washed his brother's feet and the servant is not greater than the master. I guess I will follow Christ's example. In being humble my God will lift me up higher than the ability of my precious husband. May God bless him (through me as well). Boy I love my husband! God blessed me with a man who loves me and provides for our family. I like to think my respect wakes him up and encourages his responsible behavior. Who doesn't need encouragement??? What woman doesn't want love from her man???
@ B. Vinc - Ok obviously this line of comments is a little premature but if you look at the list of sermons that Pastor Evans preaches - his next bout is to the HUSBANDS! STUDYING and not just reading the bible will bring clarity on how we are to conduct ourselves in a marriage. Now as for all of the adjectives that you used for 'deadbeat' husbands, I was in a marriage like that. I realized through not only studying God's word and hearing from my male pastor that I chose wrong! Sometimes we are so desperate to be loved that we'll accept someone who has a boat load of emotional baggage that has never been dealt with; so now he acts out all of that pinned up aggression on you. If we really listen to God and not our flesh we won't choose wrong - He knows what (and who) is best for us. Needless to say I'm still waiting on my true prince and soul mate.
Amen and amen. I've started doing this in my marriage and my husband seems to feel more loved.
My tongue is deadly and I need to play this every time Im ready to release this deadly tongue
I completely understand and I'm not even married!!!
Truth!
Same
this realy helped me.....thank u jesus for this man of God.....
"I am respecting him because of his position." 🌹
Great series of messages..this is so needed. Im sure Dr Evans gets a lot of lack for teaching submission and respect but the more I apply these principal in my marriage the love and kindness I receive from my husband. Nothing beats the WORD of God
I agree 10000%, same thing with me. When I gave my life to God and submitted myself to His Word my marriage and husband changed along with myself. We are still growing daily but compared to before its like a transformation.
Yes when we go back to Biblical principles things start to line up in our. Of course as women we have to adjust to the demands of now such as working outside the home, ordering pizzas for dinner occasionally... asking the husband to help with the house work etc but godly principles should always rule the home. I've had other women to tell you me you always do what your husband says ( like leave family event when he says its time to go) I say yes cause most of the time he does what I ask him to do.. a Covenant marriage creates a powerful partnership My prayers are for you rosieforChrist
@ Lu BlueReally ? So What would you do if most of the time he did not do what you ask him to do ???Do you know THE reason why a wife has to submit to her husband in everything ? How I love how the Bible is so straigthforward : because he is the head of the wife .Period.What he does or does not does not matter.
For some reason there are women that feel like being submissive means being less than, weak, having no opinion, not having your own, not enjoying life, not having an opinion. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT
@@thisizdubfeminism pushes this mentality which is meant to destroy the nuclear family from within. When families and marriages find God, the rewards in marriage and family can be outstanding. God bless all.
Great message for us Christian couples especially those of us with 30 plus years
This was a Phenomenal message! "If you are single and strong, get someone stronger. " 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing teaching...Thanks Dr Evans - we as women have to hear this over and over again in this time and age
Sending this to my married friends 😁
magdalena salas praise God...
I needed this. I love Jesus and I serve Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him. But I sure needed correcting in this area, I know I am a nag, and I am set in my ways, pls pray for me, to be the wife and have the attitude and humbleness to tame my words and speak the way to my husband to where we both grow more spiritually in our marriage. I am blessed with a great man of God, and my greatest desire is to serve God and be used by God. And to be the wife to this man, that God gave me, so that it’s so strong in Gods Holy Word, that it becomes so natural to walk the way God intended me and my husband to walk in our life! Ty Tony Evans for this sermon! 🙏🏼
That's commendable Kim, may He work in you by His Holy Spirit, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
I respected my dad as being a single parent. So growing up I was not only shy, but I showed my dad reverence as his daughter.
So in turn, I grew up showing other men the same reverence even though I did not get the same love from them in return.
My dad raised me too ! I was the same
Am here almost 2020!!
Thank you for posting this. Respecting my man in a way that will be sufficient is so foreign to me and it's been difficult to figure it out, what that looks like.
"I'm respecting my man..." When he came home he was recognized and everybody in the home revered his respect.🌹Yep.
When I picked apart these verses years ago- and learned a synonym for submissive was “yielding” and I found that so helpful. I often felt it was hard to put my husband in his place above me as leader of the family when he’s at work 12+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week (or more in some seasons) and he often says “I don’t know” or “I don’t care” when I try to let him have the say. But by yielding, I can manage the kids and home and when he does have strong ideas or opinions, or even demands, I am able to defer and yield to him and his authority.
I needed this. Words can NOT express how much I needed this
Even if you aren’t married, listen to this!!
You will need it in your future marriage ! ❤️💓💍💍
Needed this THANKYOU! Please Jesus remain the ctr of my marriage, life and husband💖
It is 2023 and I was totally convicted by this word and had to repent, call my Husband and admit that I had been disrespecting him the ENTIRE time we've been married. I promise you, it was like brightness illuminating my understanding to the point of tears. The way my Heavenly Father lovingly allowed me to see how, where, and when I did not show honor, but disrespect to my wonderful Husband. Not only that, God also allowed me to see that I have been "nagging" (such and UGLY word) him Bible Study and Prayer together. I never in a million years thought that it was nagging because it was about Bible Study & Prayer...duh!
I HIGHLY recommend this powerful anointed message to anyone with an honest desire to have the marriage God had in mind. God Bless you all
Amen my sister.
In submitting to The Most High, first...
and keeping his commands, his law...
everything falls into place,
and we'll selflessly walk in HIS perfect will...
No matter our trials and tests in our unions,
for our Father, knows our trials and tests before we even say "I DO",
for he's the one trying and testing us.
It pains me to see the state of our unions in this age...
But the truth, and the answers are in his word, his directives.
I pray for your husband and you, the very best and most abundant of GOD's blessings.
You are walking in true Holiness and repentance in your relationship with Jesus!! You allowed yourself to be corrected, and then humbly repented to your spouse. That’s huge!! Your marriage is guaranteed successful with those fruit of the spirit traits!! You go !!🙌🏻🔥
amazing sermon. this man is so anointed
I'm praying that GOD GRACEFULLY teach me to respect, honor and REVERENCE my husband in high esteem 💋
Amen! Thank you for your ministry and allowing God to use you to grow His Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven.
Your ministry has change my life for His Kingdom and His Glory.
this message is helping prepare me for marriage. Great sermon.
Time changes everything! Thankfully, i absorbed this preaching at a time of my life that most consider old. At 67, I finally got this message. Looking back through my grandparents marriages,, all of them lacked this knowledge, even though they called themselves Christians. 2 divorces ago, my whole life would have been different had i heard this interpretation then. But now, 67 years young, I may be blessed with the chance to live it, and/or. Pass on the knowledge. Thank you, Lord! 🙏🏼😎👍
This is so good! Thank you for allowing God to minister through you to bring such a mighty word! God bless you!
Leigh Drew in
My husband has decided there is no God. He has no idea what love and respect is, yet I stay and keep praying and living like Christ
This is so hard. Prayers for you that you are able to be a respect filled wife, even though your spouse is not a believer.
I pray that God will give you strength to endure! Keep showing him the love of Christ, fasting and praying! God bless you!
Still listening there is power in jesus through knowledge through him. there is alot to learn. Thanks for this. amen.
Respecting your Man.
Having one head of household, CEO and REVERENCE.
Preach it, Dr. & Brother Evans! Respect, honor and cherishing our husband, spouse is an expectation God designed and "divine order" for us as a "suitable helper" to deem it a privilege to serve him with joy, cheerfulness and doing it "all" to the glory of God
the wisdom in this message.....Lord be praised
Amen
I’m reading “Love and Respect” and this really animated the whole message for me. Praise God. This message has helped my marriage (that was already great but maybe wouldn’t be in 5 years without hearing this message!) and thus has helped my children. This is promoting peace in my home.
Let's give the Lord his Praise through him all is possible. Great Sermon Pastor Tony Evans
Awesome teaching!!!!
I show respect to my Husband I consult him regarding any decision which might affect our lives together or our family. I keep everything in order so he has no worries about whether things are being cared for. When he comes home all should be in order and a peaceful place to be after all the concerns of the day.
Tony Evans is my favorite preacher. He’s on point like no other!
I'm so thankful this message came in my feeds today. I absolutely love this, and don't mind being submissive when my husband arrives in my life. I'm always talking to my daughter about being submissive when she marries and why she should be. The order of the Lord is the right way, and this message is golden. Man where was this message yearssss ago, I'm so playing it for my daughter.
Rolaine Sounds good to me 🤗
OMGOODNESS!!!! So awesome to hear your sermons on here too!! I listen to them in my car when it’s about that time and I’m on the road, but now on here!!?? Wow! I’m just so happy!!
I have been struggling with this for 14 years but only over the last 3 years have I understood that I am the problem because I am in the wrong role.
I don't know how to fix this. Finances are in a mess, and he looks to me to fix things. But don't get me wrong, he works hard, goes the extra mile, treats me so amazing. But there are so many roles that I am in that I don't know how to get out of. Decision-making in finances, our restaurant, our children, vacations. You name it, he looks to me for the solution.
I'm just asking for prayers so God may allow me to find ways of giving my husband his place back without hurting his pride but building it instead. ❤
Hey!! My name is Kesha too. I recommend a fast & seek the Lord he will show you the way. ❤
Marriage is heaven on earth by us denying ourselves and taking up our cross daily both of us becoming one.
Fortune Riley Amen
Wow! Amazing comment
Such a good lesson on the respect the husband needs from his wife and the manner in which a wife can apprehend her miracle from God as a result. I loved the definition on submission as well. American Christianity tends to water this down. Thank God for Dr. Tony Evans.
Dr Evans what an awesome teaching u opened my eyes I really lacked respect now I know
Hallelujah 🙏🙏 very deep teaching 🔥 May God continue to bless you and family 🙏🔥 Respect!
Thank You, Pastor Tony Evans, for that excellent sermon, you confirmed everything that I thought needed to happen in my marriage.I am not perfect but You have confirmed that I am not as bad as she makes me out to be and that she is out of line.This has brought me great comfort, however, my next hurdle is to get my wife this and take it to heart.
WOW really helped me understand why my fiancé is so passive, raised by a strong woman and kept away from his father I'm gonna pray God elevates him to be the husband of authority I desire
Wow, the truth may hurt but the truth set us free.....This is the most wonderful revelation ever.
Prayer for wisdom that we learn how to earnestly apply the Word of God in love.
Thank you Lord
Thank you so much for this message! I definitely needed this so much. I pray that God can stay with me and teach me to value and be this message. Help me God and show me. 🙏💑❤
Respecting My Man.
There's a chain of command to fulfil the wishes of the owner!
6:41-7:04 So powerful for men to understand.
This is a powerful/anointed word 🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥. Father thank You for your constant direction. Continue leading the way and I will humbly follow in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit 😌🙌🏼🙏🏼 Amen
This message sucks the destructive spirits right out of godly relationships.
I stand corrected and I thank God for leading me to this message by Pastor Tony Evans. I really needed to hear this. Now, I MUST walk in action. In Jesus name I take by force what is rightfully mine, my marriage that was ordained by God! I walk in VICTORY not defeat! I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me! Amen!
I never been married.
But this is extremely important.
God set the standard.
Amen. ❤ A chain of command ❤ Thank you, Dr. Tony Evans 🌞 SUNSHINE
Thank you!! I needed this!
God gave me a life partner who loves 💘 me through tick and thin. I am so grateful 🙏 for his life Lord. Thank you so much for listening to my heart prayer. Amen
