Building Healthy Families - Wives, want to have a closer relationship with your husband, even during times of conflict? Check your tone, your attitude and your words. Research supports what Scripture has already told us: During an argument, 83% of husbands feel disrespected. “Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” (Ephesians 5:33) It’s not just a good idea, it’s a clear directive from the creator of marriage Himself. And it works! LFS marriage counselors are also available to help when needed. Lutheran Family Service
