Sometimes relationship-talking is hard on a husband. A wife might say one line and it has multiple meanings. She might slip in this little statement, “I want you to know my heart.”

A confused husband thinks, “What does that mean?

Here are some possible meanings:

• I want you to know me
• Know my likes and dislikes
• Laugh at my jokes
• Learn my facial expressions
• Know my favorite pizza toppings
• Cry when I cry
• Understand me and how I love
• Enjoy the same movies
• Learn how to comfort me
• See the world through my eyes
• Be my best friend
• Love how I love
• Hold my hand
• Say, I love you
• Love my family like I do
• Grieve deeply with me
• Sing along
• Dream big dreams with me
• Enter my joy
• Celebrate with me
• Ask me to dance
• Hold me
• Pursue God with me
• And, pray for me.

May God bless you as you learn your wife’s heart.

Bible Connection

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

John 13:34-35 (LSB)

Prayer

Father, help me love as you love. Help me sacrifice as you sacrifice. Help me be patient and gracious like you. And, help strengthen me and this marriage. Amen
