SPEAK OUT LOUD YOUR COMPLIMENTS TO HER! A mirror can be a hostile enemy to a woman. Although it is a reflection of her image—the image she sees is often a poor comparison to the ideal image within her imagination.You can almost hear the screams when you walk past the women’s lounge. Very few women leave a mirror with a satisfying sigh of relief—most exhale a few self-imposed curses murmuring their disgust. It’s pretty obvious that “modern” culture is hostile toward women. The social antipathy causes many women to succumb to a false body image. They can never measure up—or as you’re about to see, they will never measure down—to satisfy the delusional and schizophrenic nature of this culture. The Dove brand launched a campaign to offset the dysmorphia of how women measure beauty. After an exhaustive study, Dove found that only 2 percent of women around the world describe themselves as beautiful. Recently, Steven, a husband from Colorado emailed FivestarMan in my office, The Ready Writers Consult to ask this question:“My wife is constantly comparing herself to other women and continues to put herself down. She is so unhappy with herself that it’s having an [e]ffect upon our relationship. She has no confidence. What can I do to help her?” Do you know a husband’s words have a cleansing effect upon the appearance of his wife? In fact, his words benefit her better than can any secret formula of wrinkle cream and anti-aging. Paul described this anti-aging, blemish-removing wrinkle cream this way:“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Eph. 5:25-27). Abraham spoke kind and comforting words over his wife when he changed her name from Sarai, which means “my princess,” to Sarah, which means “a noble lady.” This may seem like a subtle change, but it had incredible affect on her. Abraham stopped referencing her as a youthful “cutie” and allowed her to mature into her beauty. Some men haven’t learned this lesson. We should allow our wives to grow into their maturity as a lady.
