How to Honor Your Wife

Dr. Creflo A. Dollar

God has set guidelines in place for husbands and wives to successfully operate the institution of marriage. Honor is a calculated decision to show attention, awareness and consideration for another person. Successful marriages are based on both spouses honoring each other on a consistent basis.

1. There are ten things a husband can do to show appreciation for his wife.
1. He should open the door for her and let her go through the door first.
2. He should hold her hand when she walks up and down steps or gets out of a car.
1. This demonstrates that a husband cares for his wife and that she is a precious treasure to him.
