Remember when God created man in his image? Well, do you remember hearing about that anyway? I really like Debi Pearl's three ways that men tend to reflect God's image. Maybe you'll recognize your husband among them:
1. Mr. Command Man: These born leaders reflect God's strength. They see the big picture and enjoy being in charge. Respect is very important for these men. Their wives will find themselves adored Queens when they allow their "Command Man" husbands to be the Kings.
2. Mr. Visionary: This man reflects the Holy Spirit's prophetic nature. He sees the details of life and is a shaker, changer, and dreamer. Visionary men are usually either rich or poor, depending on how their often-risky schemes go. They need wives who can enjoy being along for the adventurous ride, but can think objectively and keep their feet from flying too far off solid ground.
3. Mr. Steady: This "rock" of a man reflects Christ's caring, providing, and faithful nature. He diligently does his work and raises his family without a lot of fanfare. His home will be blessed with peace and security. He will appreciate a wife who adds her own accomplishments to his. His wife can also have the privilege of singing his praises since he won't jump up to do that himself.
Though few men are entirely of a single type, I recognized many of the men I know among her descriptions. Since my husband is different from my father, I can't rely on my past experiences to understand him. It helped me to read through her advice on how to best serve and understand my husband.
