For most women, feeling cherished by their husband is one of their greatest desires. For most men, feeling respected by their wife is one of their greatest desires. Often we miss loving each other fully when husbands fail to make their wife a priority and wives critique and control their husband. Cherished wives and respected husbands will flourish in the marriage relationship.

We all have a desire to be loved, but sometimes find love elusive. Too often we expect marriage to make us happy, rather than seeing marriage as an opportunity to sacrificially love our mate. The irony is when we sacrificially love our mate—as God designed us to—we usually find that our mate responds with sacrificial love in return.

Psalm 139 says that each of us is wonderfully and fearfully made, but those “wonderful” things about our mate often exhibit themselves in “not so wonderful” ways after marriage. Understanding and celebrating our uniqueness as individuals allow us truly to be “better together.”
