A Commitment to Their Happiness
“When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken.” (Deuteronomy 24:5)
Why was this command to men? Probably because we are the first to forget it… off with our band of brothers, men are prone to forget their wives and the care of marriages. Men – marriage is about responsibility of service. It is about what you put into it, not what you get out of it. The marriage vows are a commitment to make your wife happy and to bring her happiness.
What if every husband in America spent the next week bringing joy to his wife? What if we thought of that as our conquest and mission instead of the earthly pursuits which often fill our days? What would happen if our goals became creating godly marriages and godly families?
