Handled with Care
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2:18 NIV
In the store the other day I watched a woman carefully and diligently securing her two young children in the shopping cart. Out of the blue I believe I saw husbands as God sees them -- needing a woman’s diligent love and care in order to safely grow into the place God has for them.
There was nothing in this revelation that suggested that men were children; just that they need special care and handling in order to reach the potential God has placed in each of them. This may not sit well with your view of your role as a wife, but I suddenly felt the urge to re-invest in my commitment to my husband to keep watch over him and care for him as though he had been placed in my life for that purpose.
