4 Ways we can honour our partner by Jane Olowohunwa of FHH/MMM

**Dear Men and Women that are in marriage or going into marriage please carry Honour!**

Hebrew 13:4; Marriage is honourable!
Why is honour important? (you can respect yourself but you can’t honour yourself).

Marriage is a beautiful union between two individuals, ordained by God to reflect His love and character. One essential aspect of a healthy and thriving marriage is honour.

Honouring your partner is not only a biblical principle, but it’s also a key to building a strong, loving, and respectful relationship.

Honouring your partner means valuing, respecting, and esteeming them as a precious gift from God. It involves recognizing their worth, dignity, and importance in your life, and treating them with kindness, compassion, and understanding.

Honouring your partner is not just about what you do, but also about how you think and feel about them.

Ephesians 5:33** – “However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”

This verse emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and love in marriage. Honouring your partner involves loving and respecting them as you love and respect yourself.

2. **1 Peter 3:7** – “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect/honour as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.”

**Ways we can honour our partner**

1. **Verbal Affirmation**: Honouring your partner involves speaking words of affirmation and encouragement. Proverbs 16:24 says, “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Speak words that uplift and edify your partner, rather than tearing them down.

2. **Active Listening**: Honouring your partner involves actively listening to them, seeking to understand their thoughts, feelings, and desires. James 1:19 says, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Give your partner your undivided attention, and show that you value their input.

3. **Support and Encouragement**: Honouring your partner involves supporting and encouraging them in their goals, dreams, and aspirations. Hebrews 10:24 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Be your partner’s biggest cheerleader, and celebrate their successes as if they were your own.

4. **Servant Leadership**: Honouring your partner involves serving them with humility and love. Mark 10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Look for ways to serve your partner, putting their needs before your own.

Remember, honouring your partner is not a one-time event, but a lifelong commitment to building a strong, loving, and respectful relationship.

Stay Blessed!
