When you consider the word ‘husband,’ you will see its similarity with the word ‘husbandry’.

Husbandry has to do with caring for and cultivating crops and livestock. This gives us insight into the duty of husbands; they are to tend their wives like gardens for their potential to blossom.

They should nurture their potential and make them more beautiful and fruitful than when they met them.

People admire some men’s wives because those men tend their gardens well. The way a man tends his garden is a reflection of the kind of person he is.

Gardens bring beauty to homes; if a garden is fruitful, then the family will be nourished with healthy fruits, vegetables, and fresh air.

However, if a garden is filled with thorns, a lot of pain and parasites will exist in that home.

Many married men who are always miserable and sad often complain about their wives not making them happy.

Their wives can’t make them happy when they are sad and miserable; it is only what they receive that they can give.

If you’re a husband, what you should put in your wife is what you want.

Take care of her and make her happy; she will make you happy too. Before you buy a shirt for yourself, buy a dress for her.

If you call her a witch and maltreat her, know that you made her one because when you were courting, you were calling her an angel.

It is after she entered your house that she became a witch.

Another definition of husbandry, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is the management and conservation of resources.

Many husbands don’t seem to see anything special in their wives; those are bad husbands.

A good husband will see the potentials in his wife in the form of her talents and giftings and will help her manage them properly to yield the best results.

As a husband, in managing your wife’s resources, you should also manage her excesses and shortcomings; that is the aspect of weeding in husbandry.

Those shortcomings will try to hinder her talents from blossoming, but you have to identify them and reduce them to the barest minimum.

A good husband does not complain about his wife’s shortcomings; he manages them to ensure they don’t stop her gifts from blossoming.

A good husband will patiently work with his wife to overcome her shortcomings and enhance her talents.

The great women out there also have their shortcomings, but thank God they have good husbands.

They are great achievers notwithstanding and are making their husbands proud today.
