11 THINGS YOU MUST DO TO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND PROSPER
Bisi Adewale
It is the will of God for your husband to prosper. God plans and wants it to be like that (3John 2, Philippians 4:19). But many men end up living in poverty and penury, finding it difficult to meet their daily needs and their obligation to other family members (Deut.15; 11).
As a godly woman, God can strengthen you to change this trend. Remember that the success of your husband is your success; his failure is also yours. That is why you must do all to make his life better and see to it that he prospers. Your inspiring confession in life should be: By All Means, My Husband Must Prosper!
THINGS YOU MUST DO TO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND PROSPER
- Relate Well with Him
Good marriage gives a man peace and rest of mind to face his career and make it a success. You need to work as a team with him, never war in your team. Make him your friend, partner and teammate. Encourage, motivate, advise and defend him. Be very passionate about his success. Always remember that if he sinks (God forbid), you will go down with him. Hence, decide to swim with him; give him a lifeline at home, flourish together, move forward and make a better team.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil (Proverbs 31:11)
- Support Him
Give him all the support you think he needs; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially and otherwise.
- Be a Pillar
A skyscraper may look big, beautiful and magnificent but it must stand on solid foundations and supported by strong pillars and beams without which it will crumble like a pack of cards. Likewise, a man may look strong, bold and muscular; the truth is he needs a strong home frontwoman that can stand with him in the thick of his challenges when the going gets tough and his path becomes rough. No matter how your husband looks, he needs your encouragement such as, “it is well”, “it is possible”, “we shall make it” (Proverbs. 31:21).
- Motivate but Do not Push
Motivate your husband to do great things, but do not push him into error. Motivate him to take giant steps, doing new things – business, project and so on. But never encourage him to steal his company’s money or get into messy deals just to “make it” by all means.
- Hold the Home Front for Him
Give him rest of mind by making the home front stable in his absence. You must be a good mother, helping him to raise the children, nurturing them in the way of the Lord. Note that no man is prosperous until he raises godly children.
- Help Him to Manage his Health
Cook good food; avoid too much fatty food. Instead, give him vegetables and fruits and reduce carbohydrate intakes. Encourage him to exercise his body. Always encourage him to enjoy better health.
- Spend Rightly
Avoid wasting his money; spend prudently. Don’t engage in impulsive, show-off buying. Buy in bulk and ahead of “rushing” period only necessities at the lowest price. Spend with wisdom (Proverbs. 31:16).
- Help Him to Make More Money
Many women know how to “help” their husbands to spend more money, but not how to help him to make more money. As a virtuous woman, think of what to do to increase the earnings of your family. Never be a devourer; be a producer, as you learn to reduce spending, learn to increase earnings.
- Believe in Him
Nothing can make a man successful like self-belief. And the only person that can boost the self-belief (self-esteem) of a man is his wife. That is the way it works. He takes a cue from you when you prove that you believe in him as his wife. That is, he believes in himself too. And until a man believes in himself nobody will believe in him. His success his pegged if nobody believes in him. Be the number one fan of your husband; lift his spirit, clap, motivate and be the leader of his fans and supporters’ club.
- Satisfy his Bedroom Desire
Never permit your husband to go outside to get sexual satisfaction; satisfy him at home. Never allow him to destroy the finances of the family by spending for strange women or by contacting sexually transmitted infections (STI). Do your duty as a wife; satisfy his bedroom desire, fulfil his fantasy, never allow boredom in your bedroom.
- Pray for Him
Above all other things, your husband needs your prayer support. There are lots of areas to touch in his life in prayer. Pray against activities that destroy men and mess up their lives, making some to end up dying an untimely death. They include:
Strange women, pornography and moral laxity, Drug, alcohol and gluttony etc. And also, pray for his prosperity and success.
