Expectations of a Wife from Her Husband
A wife’s expectations from her husband often revolve around love, respect, and emotional support. She desires a partner who listens, communicates openly, and values her opinions. Mutual trust and honesty form the foundation of a strong marriage, ensuring a deep emotional connection.
A wife expects her husband to be supportive in both good and challenging times. Whether it’s career aspirations, personal growth, or family responsibilities, she looks for encouragement and appreciation. Emotional presence is just as important as financial stability. While financial security matters, a wife often values quality time, companionship, and shared responsibilities more.
Respect is another key expectation. This includes acknowledging her efforts at home, work, or in raising children. A husband who expresses gratitude and acknowledges his wife’s contributions strengthens the bond between them.
Additionally, a wife expects commitment and faithfulness. Loyalty reassures her that she is valued and cherished. Small acts of kindness, affectionate gestures, and surprises go a long way in keeping the relationship vibrant.
Lastly, she hopes for a husband who prioritizes family, creates a loving home, and shares responsibilities equally. A marriage thrives when both partners work as a team, supporting and uplifting each other. When a husband meets these expectations, it nurtures a fulfilling and lasting relationship.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTIIN
It is unfortunate that people of our time handle marriage and marital issues with levity hands. The truth
is that our ideas, people, things, situation etc. around us may change, but the truth of God's word does
not change. The earlier we change and fall in line with God's truth about marriage the better for us and
our society.
When children grow to a certain age in life ( i.e marriageable age) they will like to get married and
settle down to have their own home according to God's plan (Genesis 2 verse 24: Therefore shall a man
leave his father and mother and, shall cleave onto his wife and they shall become one flesh).
There is nothing bad in marriage, it is the plan of God for each and everyone of us to get married ( It is
not good for a man to be alone, therefore I will make him a helper that will look like him) but what we
are seeing today is far from what God have in mind for us.For many homes have been shattered, while
many families have broken.
Marriage that supposed to be enjoyed has now turned to thorns in the flesh and pus in the bone, both
couples are now in things fall apart scenerio leaving their God giving children uncared-for with no future
plans for majority of them. But if you have opportunity of asking the affected couples the reasons for
their actions ( Divorce) , the following are their excuses : financial problem/, sexual incompatibility,
childlessness, dirtness, untimely cooking of food, lack of respect, poor financial management, egoism,
promise unfulfilled, stubbornness, anger, educational differences to mention but few.
The author is a bit indifferent with all these excuses, what concerns him is how to profer solutions to
incessant occurrence of divorce in our society. Divorce is most common in first and second year of
marriage and five to eight year of marriage, there are two period in particular that stand as the most
common years for divorce according to research, and these are seventh and eighth year of marriage.
The effects of divorce on the part of each husband and wife is so gruesome most especially their
children, It has exposed some chicken to anger/irritability, feeling of guilty, inferiority complex, lack of
test of mind, loosing interest in activities in school, nagging, absence minded in classroom, unable to to
adapt to change, poor performance in school, area boys/girls, stubbornness, truancy tauts high rate of
health problems, pool spiritual growth, violence, loness etc.
