Three Things that Hinder our Love for our Husbands

No. 1 Thinking unbiblical and wrong thoughts

If godly love is primarily a choice and not feeling, we need to think about it objectively, not subjectively. It’s why we need scripture, because scripture continually renews our minds and transforms it. And as our minds are transformed our behavior it follows. Love is not a passive thing, and we will not become better at loving if we are not self controlled in our thinking.

No. 2 Selfishness

We live in a hedonistic narcissistic culture which teaches self-love and promotes to obey thy self over all things. Contrast that with 1 Corinthians 13 that love does not seek it’s own way.

Selfishness hinders us from loving our husbands, because we are only focused on loving ourselves. We are setting our hearts on the wrong thing when we are only thinking of ourselves, and our needs, or the wrong done against us.

No. 3 Bitterness

Bitterness usually stems from taking into account wrong suffered from our husbands. We need to be careful that no root of bitterness springs up in us, Hebrews tells us that bitter roots spring up cause trouble and defile many.
