While doing my research for a Fatherhood Friday post I cam across A really interesting site on Christian Family Values. As a father and husband I was looking at the Ten Commandments for Husbands:

1. Thou shalt not take thy wife for granted, but will honour and respect her as thy equal. (1 Pet 3:7)


2. Thy highest allegiance, except God, shall be to thy wife, not thy relatives or friends. (Gen 2:24)


3. Thou shalt frequently tell thy wife how important & valuable she is to thee. (Phil 2:3; Prov 31:10-11)


4. Thou shalt hold thy wife’s love by the same means that thou won it. (Sos 5:10-16)


5. Thou shalt actively establish family discipline with thy wife’s help. (Eph 6:4)


6. Remember to do all the little things for thy wife when you say you will. (Mt 5:37)


7. Keep thine eyes on thy own wife, not thy neighbors. (Prov 5:15-20; Job 31:1; Jer 5:8)


8. Thou shalt make every effort to see things from thy wife’s point of view. (Gen 21:12)


9. Thou shalt not fail to kiss thy wife every morning. (Sos 8:1)


10. Thou shalt not be stingy with thy wife when it comes to money. (Esther 5:3)

I personally like this list. This list list shows the equality of men and women in the bible, as well as shows many things that are often overlooked in today’s society. Following these simple values shown to us in the bible can lead to a happy and balanced family life.

Over the next few weeks I will take a closer look at each of these “commandments” and expand on them and their importance to us as Husbands and Fathers. Join me for this little adventure into the ‘”Ten Commandments for Husbands.”
