Series: Real Men

James l:l9
Real men communicate with their wives. In the Bible it doesn't say,
"Men, here's how you're supposed to communicate with your wife." Yet,
we know that there are some principles and I want to share that some
are very important for real men in their relationship to their wives
in building a strong Christian home.
Verse 19,
This you know, my beloved brethren, but let
everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow

Knowing this, it is very important that we communicate. Sometimes men
don't understand this. A poll was taken of married men to see if they
were happy. Seventy-five percent said they were, but when their wives
were asked, only twenty-five percent thought their husbands were
happy. Apparently the men were perceiving their marriage completely
different. The men thought they were happy; their wives did not feel
so good about it. There was a lack of understanding because of a lack
of communication.
There was a man who decided he was going to get up every Saturday and
fix breakfast for his wife just out of sheer love. He didn't tell her
what he was going to do. He just got up, fixed breakfast for her and
cleaned the house. Every Saturday. He did it for ten years. Never
