Listen up ladies! Pastor Tony Rapu shares important tips for #MarriedWomen [MUST READ]
Last week, Pastor Tony Rapu, the Senior Pastor of This Present House Church in Lekki, Lagos, took time out to share some advice for married men.
This week, he has decided to talk to the women. From making the bed to physical intimacy with your husband, Pastor Rapu shares vital tips that many will find useful.
Here’s what his timeline looked like today:
If there’s anything a man hates in his life, it’s a nagging wife. Please stop nagging. #MarriedWomen
Your husband is not a ‘project’. He’s not yours to change or fix or mould. Please he is yours to love. #MarriedWomen
A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip on a rainy day. How can you keep her quiet? (Proverbs 27:15 GNB) #MarriedWomen
Stop looking at your husband to be the one to make you happy. That’s actually your job, not his. #MarriedWomen
A husband’s greatest need in this world of marriage is to be respected by his wife. #MarriedWomen
When you give to your husband without expectations, then God somehow begins to meet your expectations. #MarriedWomen
Your husband truly wants you to be happy but he really doesn’t want to be blamed when you’re not happy. #MarriedWomen
Look in the mirror & learn to love what you see. A woman who loves her body takes care of it for her husband. Love your body. #MarriedWomen
The successful mathematics in marriage is to give 100% and expect nothing in return. #MarriedWomen
Stop expecting your husband to be what he’s not. Unmet expectations will be the greatest source of sorrow in your marriage. #MarriedWomen
You have to make forgiveness a habit. In big things and in little things. Forgive. Forgive. Forgive. #MarriedWomen
I’m not sure your friends will give you objective advice about your husband. Why make them your counsellors. #MarriedWomen
Try to overcome little annoyances, like when your husband leaves a wet towel on the bed. #MarriedWomen
Men are not wired like women and your husband doesn’t even know he is being insensitive to your needs. Tell him nicely #MarriedWomen
Stop saying “I will leave you one day” or “I want a divorce” whenever you quarrel. In the end it will backfire. #MarriedWomen
Stop being so needy, it drains your husband. #MarriedWomen
Never criticize your husband. It builds resentment in him. #MarriedWomen
Why don’t you compliment your husband on what he does right rather than tear him down for what he does wrong? #MarriedWomen
When your husband does something you appreciate, it’s nice to let him know. #MarriedWomen
Do you realize that the more you try to force your husband to do something or restrict him, the more he’ll try to escape? #MarriedWomen
Why do you even bother going through his text messages? There’s no need. Stop it. #MarriedWomen
Your husband needs time to chill in his ‘man cave’. Please leave him alone. #MarriedWomen
You may not understand why he loves to watch sports or violent movies. You don’t have to understand. Give him his space. #MarriedWomen
Focus on what you love about your husband and please leave the rest. It’s not for you to change him, that’s God’s job. #MarriedWomen
Make the bed. Thank you. #MarriedWomen
If you try to control, restrict or cage your husband it will take away that ‘thing’ that makes him a man. He’s a free spirit. #MarriedWomen
Speak clearly. You will be angry with your husband and he will have no idea of what he said or did to annoy you. #MarriedWomen
Don’t walk away after you’ve spoken your mind to your husband. He will hold it against you and bring it up later. #MarriedWomen
Don’t give your husband the ‘cold shoulder treatment’. He will escape from home. #MarriedWomen
Stop waiting for your husband to arrange a date or give you what you want, take responsibility and create it yourself. #MarriedWomen
Criticism and control will only make your husband shut you out. #MarriedWomen
Sex is a core need for your husband. It anchors his soul to yours. #MarriedWomen
Frequent meaningful physical intimacy is what connects your husband’s heart to yours. #MarriedWomen
Pet your husband. Massage his shoulders. Give him a manicure. #MarriedWomen
If you shut your husband away from physical intimacy then you’ve cut off his most important connection to you in his world. #MarriedWomen
You have to love your husband even when he is unlovable. #MarriedWomen
Serve your husband even when it seems he doesn’t appreciate your service. #MarriedWomen
Be sensitive to your husband’s physical needs even when you’re tired. You can do all things thro’ Christ who strengthens you. #MarriedWomen
Please stop airing your dirty laundry in public. Your husband just hates it #MarriedWomen
Teach your children to respect their father. Make them see him as a hero. #MarriedWomen
Please make your house a welcoming home. #MarriedWomen
This night out thing with the ‘girls’ is really a risky thing you’re doing. #MarriedWomen
Protect your husband. There are she-wolves out there. #MarriedWomen
Do all things without grumbling and complaining. #MarriedWomen
It’s not nice when your husband is the subject of your girlfriend’s gossip and petty quarrels. He’s a man. Protect him. #MarriedWomen
Pick your battles. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t fight over little matters. You only stress yourself out. #MarriedWomen
Be very careful about reading romance novels. They give you a false illusion of life. #MarriedWomen
Please stop comparing your husband with anyone else’s. Do you know how they live? #MarriedWomen
Accept your husband for what he is and not what you want him to be. #MarriedWomen
