Gaining Knowledge About Your Wife
March 21, 2018
First Peter 3:7 says, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”
Most husbands are not good husbands because they are not understanding husbands. The reason they aren’t understanding husbands is, they have never really taken time to gain knowledge about their wives. They are too proud to learn and to admit, “I don’t know.”
Now, when they get a new automobile, they drive it according to knowledge. It comes with a manual, and they read the manual and say, “Well now, what kind of gasoline will this automobile use? How often do I rotate the tires? What is the air pressure in the tires? What kind of oil will it use?” Then they’re constantly watching the gauges and so forth to see to it that they’re responding to the needs of an automobile.
There are some gauges you can learn to read to respond to the needs of your wife, if you’re intelligent, and if you will dwell with her “according to knowledge.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
