<P>Yolanda,</P>
<P>God's Word commands: "In showing honor to one another <I>take the lead."</I> (Romans 12:10) If you can, make the sacrifice before your mate asks it of you. After all, something obtained after repeated requests has already lost part of its value. Instead, each partner in a marriage should cultivate the habit of taking the initiative in showing honor to the other.</P>
<P>For instance, husbands are commanded to be "assigning [the wife] honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine <NOBR>one, . . .</NOBR> in order for [their] prayers not to be hindered." (1 Peter 3:7) If a husband does not give his wife honor, even his prayers to God will be adversely affected. What, though, is meant by honoring one's wife? It means taking her into consideration at all times, listening to her opinions, giving her first choice in various matters much of the time. And the wife can honor the husband in the same way, by working to be a cooperative helpmate.—Genesis 21:12; Proverbs 31:10-31.</P>
