HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES [ AND LET THEM KNOW]

How can you have faith in your wife if you don't love her? That's in Phileo. Now, how about Agapao to God? How can it be if you don't love God? If you said you love your wife and never tell her about it, and never set down and make love to her, expressing it to her, kiss her, hug her, and tell her she's the best cook in the country, all the things that you know, and how pretty she is, and how much you love her; if you don't do that she'll never know it. That's the way. If you do love her, you express it.That's the way we do to God. When we love Him, we tell Him about it. We set down and we adore Him, and worship Him, and... See, love drives us to that.  Now, what if something's got to be done for your wife. Why, it'd throw you into desperation to get it done. What if somebody says your wife's got cancer? What if somebody says your--your wife's got TB; she's fixing to die? Yet, you--you'll do anything. See, it'll throw you into desperation.That's the same thing that it is. We must have love before we can have faith, and faith... When we have genuine love, what does it do? It pushes our faith out on the battlefront for God. Genuine godly love for God and for His Word and for His people, will push faith out there. Love just takes ahold of faith and--and just... "Come on; let's go." And out it goes, 'cause that's what love does. Desperation P:50 [63-0901E]

A good woman is a jewel in a man's crown," said the wisest man on earth. A man ought to honor a good woman. See? "But an evil one is water in His blood," and His blood is his life. You men that's got good wives, you don't know how you ought to thank God for a good wife. For if God could've give a man anything better for a helpmate, He'd have done it. But a woman is the best helpmate that God could give a man. Laodicean Church Age P:30 [60-1211E]

And was talking about men losing their affections for their wife and don't love them as they did when they were sweethearts, shame on you. You ought to do it; she's always your sweetheart. Absolutely, that's the part she should be. And you should treat her like that. Oh, never let that little honeymoon cease, 'cause it isn't going to in heaven. It's going to be just perfectly one there. That's right. It's all...Looks like some women ought to said amen to that, don't it? "You never let me hear... You're always bawling women out and talking like." Sister Hickerson, why didn't you say something, or somebody back there, say... Did you? Thank you, Sister Cox, that's very good. Brother Cox, that's for you, ever where you are now. All right. Yes, sir. And we should never forget to honor each other; always be sweethearts; never let it cease.Time Tested Memorials Of God P:12 [57-0818]

If you're the right kind of a husband, there's no woman in world that you love like your wife. There might be other women might be more fair. There might be women that would--would be prettier women, and so forth. But something... If you really love your wife, there's something in there that you don't notice what she looks like. You love her. And you--you don't know why, but you love her; and women, you the same to your husbands you--you love, and you young girls to your boyfriends, boyfriends to girlfriends. If you've met that person that you know you love, there's something in there. You know you love them.
Well, that's the same thing it is about faith. You know it's going to happen. There's not a shadow, no matter how many would say contrary, you still believe the same thing because that's genuine, real genuine faith.Calling Jesus on the scene [64-0319]

A man's not supposed to use that authority over a woman just because he's her ruler. God is her ruler above you, brother. See? And if your wife is doing something wrong, then don't--then you got a right to tell her, and she's supposed to listen to you. But you haven't got no right to beat her, or drag her around, or--or do those things. No, sir.You see, God made man a helpmate, not a doormat. Remember, she's--she was your sweetheart; she should always be that. Questions And Answers COD P:114 [64-0830E]

There's any praises to be give to the Branham family, give it to the queen, Mrs. Branham, my wife. Thirty-eight years old, gray headed, standing between me and the public, one of the sweetest women that ever lived. So she's the one to get the credit if there's anybody...Stands on that phones when I seen them ring, long distance, sixty-four calls an hour, day and night. See? And she has to brace all of that. So that lovely, little voice you hear on the phone when you call up to there, that's the queen of the Branham family and the queen of my heart. God bless her.
I love a good family. Don't you appreciate your good old family? That's what I think about God. When I go away, I don't... I think between law and grace, we're not under law, we got grace. I'm so thankful for it.When I get ready to go overseas, I don't say, "Now, Mrs. Branham, I'm going to tell you something. Thou shalt not have any other husbands but me, while I'm gone."
And she don't get back and say, "Look here, young man, thou shalt have no other wives but me either." Now, wouldn't that be home?
We just pray. I ask God to bless them and help them. She asks God to help me. I kiss her good-bye, and say, "Bye, sweetheart." That settles it. No matter where it's at, I love her above everything there is on earth in that way. As long as I love her like that, she loves me the way I do, we'll be true to one another.Door To The Heart P:18 [58-0316E]

o, but now, a good woman is a jewel in a man's crown. She should be honored. She's... My mother's a woman; my wife is; and they're lovely. And I've got thousands of Christian sisters who I highly respect. But if--if they can respect what God made them, a motherhood and a real queen, that's all right. She's one of the best things that God could give a man was a wife. Besides salvation, a wife is the best thing if she is a good wife. But if she isn't, Solomon said, "A good woman is a jewel in a man's crown, but a--a ornery one or no-good one is water in his blood." And that's right, it's the worst thing could happen. So a good woman... If you've got a good wife, brother, you ought to respect her with the highest. That's right. You should do that. A real woman... And children, if you've got a real mother that stays home and tries to take care of you, keeping your clothes clean, send you to school, teaching you about Jesus, you should honor that sweet old mother with all that's in you. You should respect that woman (Yes, sir.), because she's a real mother.

Last night when we were talking, my son and I were setting together having... I hadn't eaten yesterday, and so I was having a little sandwich last night. And we were talking what great persons that Brother and Sister Sonnmore were, and why we deemed it such a privilege to have fellowship and to know them. And here he is down here at Chicago with us today. The Lord bless you.I guess your sweetheart came too. I know you feel that way about her; she's still your sweetheart. And that's the way we... I know we, all of us Christians feel that way about our wives. And they're still our sweethearts. I hope it never changes in my family, and never changes in your family, that we can always feel that way about our wives. After all, they stand side by side with us to help us fight these battles, and we need them. Although I've said many scorching things to them, but it wasn't in such a way to make them feel bad; it was such a way to keep them in line with the Gospel.
And see, that's Satan's tool, where he works the hardest. That was his first instrument. He's never changed. He stays right there to... And he's... We just have to pray for our sisters constantly. 'Course, they pray for us too. And together with one unit we march forward like an undefeated army, with our great Chief Captain Christ Jesus and His Word going before us, making a way for us.
