How to Woo your Wife


The LORD will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments
all the days of our lives in the temple of the LORD. ...Isaiah 38:20

We are the temple of the Lord and according to Romans 12:1 we are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is our spiritual act of worship. What does this have to do with wooing my wife you might ask? Everything! Let me explain, if a man trys to serenade a woman with a guitar it can be a beautiful thing but no matter how good the man plays if the guitar is out of tune the end result is not pleasing, it is an unpleasant sound, and turns the woman away. However, if the guitar is in tune and the man plays the notes according to how they were written there is nothing more beautiful as it draws the woman in, is pleasing to her senses, and speaks to her heart. Men, God wants to use you as the instrument of His choice to serenade your wife, He wants to woo her, and speak to her heart. But no matter how good the song choice if you are out of tune the notes are not pleasing. To be in tune means to act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God, it means never speaking harshly to your wife, it means being patient, kind, forgiving, it means listening, it means having the heart of a servant, it means making every effort to keep the bonds of peace though the unity of the Spirit, being led by the Spirit. When we as God's instruments are in tune a beautiful melody will result, wooing our wives, drawing them near, and speaking to their hearts as they see and feel the love of God. When we are in tune we might still play a wrong note occasionally but they won't even notice as they are being enticed by the overall melody, when we are out of tune however, even the right notes are sour. Even our best efforts are like filthy rags when we are out of tune with God's will. Let's humble ourselves before the Lord, get in tune, and allow God to use use us to serenade our wives as we sing with stringed instruments in the Temple of the Lord, all the days of our lives.
