It’s important to remember that you can’t be a godly husband on your own strength and abilities. Just as in our Christian walk, we cannot live a Christian life on our own. We need to be in close communion with the Lord, and we need to be filled with His Holy Spirit in order to walk in Christ’s ways.

If I am in a carnal sate, it will reflect on my attitude and behavior toward my wife. However, it I am walking with the Lord and desiring to be a godly husband it will produce the good fruit I desire in my marriage. A right relationship with God will enable me to see my wife as a gift from God, fashioned to make me more in the image of Christ.
