I was watching a TV show a few years back and there was a man who wanted to buy an intimate garment for his wife, AKA lingerie. This woman struggled with her body image and you could see how uncomfortable she was with this, it was almost painful watching. But when her husband said to the clerk, “I just want her to see herself the way I do, she is so beautiful and I want her to feel that” The clerk went to the corset section found an amazing black and pink number the woman put it on and she no longer tried to cover herself up with her hands or shift her head or slump down. Instead she put her hands on her hips, stood up straight, flipped her hair and came out asking her husband, “what do you think babe?” This always sticks in my head when I am conflicted about my body image.
My man loves the way I look. It gives him great pleasure just to look at my body. Song of Songs 4:7 states “All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” How amazing this would be if we as woman quit comparing ourselves to each other and believed about ourselves the way our husbands do. Your husband chose you! He desires to be with you physically! You belong to him!! Ladies we must not only recognize this we must choose to believe it!! Don’t deny your husband the pleasure of being with you.
One time I was getting ready to go out on the town with my man and he came up behind me and said, “You are stunning! You are so captivating!” I should have soaked this all in and relishing in the fact that my man thinks I’m the most beautiful woman in the world. BUT No, I had to open my mouth and I chose to say, “You think so?? Cause I think you can see my fat stomach and my legs look so pale and this is a little bit of a hoochy momma outfit, don’t you think? But my sweet husband looked at me and so sweetly said, “if you are trying to convince me that you are fat and ugly, you are doing a pretty good job of it, I’m almost convinced.” and he simply walked away allowing me to sit and think about what I had just said.
No matter how I am feeling, my husband thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world, yours does too!
Just think if you could grant your husband something that would give him joy, love, pleasure, fulfillment and it require no money only a little time everyday – would you grant it to him? Guess what you can because it’s you!! Let your husband share in your beauty. Give him the pleasure of being with his wife!
