1 Thessalonians 4:4

This verse says, "Respect and honor your wife."

I'm not always successful in this. I need to do this, not just when I feel good and appreciated, but also when it's hard. The next time I'm tempted to disrespect my wife, I will try to remember to pray to the Lord for the strength to do the right thing.

If I don't, then I'm both disobeying the Lord and sinning against both my wife and God. That's a big deal.
