Bible Texts: Song of Solomon 2: 5-6, John 13:4-10, Ss.2:13, 1Cor.13:4, Num.30:1-10
Yesterday, by the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit, we understood that our words are powerful. The words we speak in the direction of our sheep can either make them or break them. And our sheep becomes to us what we call them. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you and I shall live up to our calling as the good and godly husbandmen. Amen.
Now, let us dig a foot deeper today by considering how you can speak the love language of your wife. As the lover of your wife, she has what affirms her person as a woman, wife and mother-her love language. It is your responsibility through the wisdom of God to find it out. And if you can identify your wife’s language and speak and act it passionately, you will bring out the best out of your wife.
You must understand that the love language of every wife is different and do not necessary has to be very big. Some love language could be helping out with house chores at home. Others may be a gift or even a kiss, or such words as “thank you, you are beautiful, I love you, I am proud of you”.
In verse of 5 of Songs of Solomon chapter 2, the wife said to her husband, stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love. His left hand is under my head and his right hand doth embrace me (Ss.2:5-6). This wife told her husband to please stay and comfort her because she understands that a little coldness here and a little dryness there will spoil the beauty and glory of the marriage relationship. So, the husband took the initiative.
As the good and godly husbandman, that little kisses, little assistance at home and those little helps here and there are the seeds that build and give your relationship with your wife the good smell (verse 13). It is the spice that endears you to her as her helper and father. You must understand that beyond being a husband, you are a father to your wife. And every father wants to affirm his child to grow into a better person. Your wife is not different. Go out of your way to demonstrate God kind of love to her. It enhances your personality as the good and godly man, husband and father to your wife and children.

FAITH CONFESSION
