What Every Man Wants in a Woman

Will you please stand for the reading of God's word? Turn with us to Ephesians 5:es 25 and following as today we begin a new and exciting sermon series titled What Every Man Wants in a Woman and What Every Woman Wants in a Man. I assure you this is going to be an exciting sermon series.

Take a take a heart tablet, buckle your seat belts, hang on to your hard hat, and let the fun begin. This series is for people who are married, for people who want to be married, and people who are sorry they're married. These sermons come straight from the survey of thousands of members of our cornerstone church and national television audience.

Our survey said that there are things that men and women want and specifically said what they were and they will be presented today. I'll give the several things that men list and you can get the others if you want to take this book home. Church members, this book is available when you go through the north and south exit as you exit the church.

And those of you who are watching by television, you can get the book by contacting us at johnhaggy ministries.org. johnhaggy ministries.org. Today, has your marriage lost its sizzle? The question and how to get it back. We will also cover entering into marriage with high expectations and low preparation.

Today I'll share with you unfair questions that women ask men. Also, love secrets every man must know. Get your pencils and paper out. You'll need it. There are 18 in the book. Let's read Ephesians 5, beginning at verse 25. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her that he might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.

Verse 28, so husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. I'm going to press that one more time. He who loves his wife loves himself. Let's pray. Our most gracious heavenly father, creator of heaven and earth, the creator of the garden of Eden, where you placed a man and a woman together for the purpose of having a family.

You created the family as the cornerstone of every nation. And when that family fails, nations fail. The family in America is falling apart. Fathers have abandoned their children. Public schools have abandoned the word of God. Universities have become the Garden of Eden for communism and anti-semitism. The moral compass of our forefathers taken from the word of God in 1776 has been cast aside for secular humanism that rejects the authority of God Almighty.

Holy Spirit, anoint this sermon series to bring back the way, the truth, and the life in the authority of Jesus' name. We pray and ask these things and all of God's children said, "Amen." You may be seated. The question is, are you ready for the number one item on the survey for men?

The answer is from the majority of the men was, "Give me a woman who has a love for Jesus Christ. Jesus said in Matthew 22:37, "You should love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of your mind." This is the first and the greatest commandment.

Mister, if you are dating a woman who has no love for Jesus Christ, end it today. Secondly, what does a man want from a woman? The survey said the man wants sexual fulfillment. Can you imagine? Don't turn up your nose. Most of you are here because of that.

You have heard me say there are three phases of marriage. Lust, rust, and dust. Which phase are you in? The story is told of the woman who took her husband to the doctor and she said to the doctor, "He's lifeless. He has no fire. He has no passion.

Our marriage has lost its sizzle. Help me." The doctor examined the man, sent him out, brought the wife into his office. The doctor said, "All your husband needs are three square meals a day and a normal sex life, and he'll be fine." She stormed out of his office, slammed the office door.

She left. Driving home, her milktoast Caesar's husband asked her, "What did the doctor say?" She snarled and said, "The doctor said you're going to die." Uh people say, "Pastor HGY, God's not interested in sex that sizzle." Really? You obviously haven't read the Bible lately. It starts with sex in Genesis 1 and doesn't end until the book of Revelation.

Sex is God's ideal. Sex is not just for procreation. Sex is the symphony of the soul for people who are married to each other. Sex in the Bible is joyous. It's a time that is tender and holy and should be as natural as drinking a glass of water.

God bless all three of you. >> The Bible written by the hand of the Holy Spirit says, "Ma marriage is honorable in all things and the bed is undefiled." Hear that phrase. That's in Hebrews 13:4. For those of you who are fanning your Bible right now, consider God's creation of Adam and Eve.

God created Adam and said, "It is not good for a man to be alone." Adam went to sleep and he woke up married. It's enough to make an insomniac out of you. God took a rib and made the perfect partner for him called Eve. She was a mysterious and majestic creature called woman.

Because God is sovereign. Your wife is your perfect partner and you are to love her as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. That's in the Bible. And all the ladies said, >> "Good." In the theater of your mind, see God the matchmaker as he brings Eve on his arm down the grassy slopes of the Garden of Eden.

She's a perfect 10. She's absolutely naked and totally stunning. Wow. Adam started singing that well-known song that we sing in the church. I just feel like something good is about to happen. The Bible is a book for lovers. Its pages are saturated with breathtaking love stories that leave nothing to the imagination.

The greatest love story ever written is in John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. He took our sickness and gave us perfect health. He took our fear and gave us peace that surpasses understanding.

He took our poverty and made us kings and priests unto God. We have an unlimited future of prosperity and peace because God our father and his precious son our redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen. The song of Solomon chapter 1 reads remember this is inspired of the Holy Spirit. Solomon fell in love with the peasant Shulamite girl.

In chapter one, he sees her for the first time and describes her from her chin up. Why? Because that's all he could see. Then the dresses went down to the floor. As time passes by, women wear less and less. 100 years ago, it took a cotton gin all day to produce enough cotton to make a woman's dress.

Today, a silkworm could do it on his lunch break. Let's read the Song of Solomon. This is God's word inspired by the Holy Spirit. Chapter 1. It begins this way. This is in your Bible. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.

The Bible story continues. The king has brought me into his bedroom and says, "Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments and your neck with chains of gold." She says, "A bundle of myrr is my beloved to me that lies all night between my breast. Be still my heart." The Bible reads, "By night on my bed, I sought the one I love, and I did not find him.

I said, I will arise and go into the city. And when I find the one I love, I held him and would not let him go until I had brought him to the house of my mother. and into the chamber of her who conceived me. She went out and found this man and brought him to her mother's house and she has him in the bed chamber.

She has her lover in her mother's bedroom. And I assure you, it wasn't to watch Fox News on the television set. If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, faith would have no meaning and hope would have no future. But Jesus did rise. And the same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in every believer.

Because Jesus lives, you can walk in victory today. With your gift of any amount, you'll receive an encouragement greeting card, eight pack, and a vial of anointing oil, tools to strengthen your prayer life. And with your gift of $150 or more, you'll also receive two copies of Pastor Hegy's brand new book, From Tomb to Triumph, one to keep and one to share, plus a fruit of the spirit tumbler along with the cards and anointing oil. >> This leatherbound book contains that power that you need to experience. >> Call the number on screen, use the QR code, or go to jhm.org. org/victory. >> I repeat, the Bible is a book for lovers.

St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:3, "Let the husband render unto his wife due benevolence." Say that with me. Do benevolence. What is that? What does that mean? Do benevolence means the payment of what is due. When you rent a house, the rent is payment of what is due.

When you bind a car, the car payment is what is due. How many of you have one of those? When you get married, sex is the payment of what is due. What's the difference between your honeymoon and your 50th wedding anniversary? Their answer is on your honeymoon, it's Niagara, and on your 50th wedding anniversary is Viagra.

Jesus said, "These two shall become one flesh." One flesh is the sexual union. One major problem in marriage harmony is sexual manipulation. It goes like this. She says, "Buy me what I want and tonight our bedroom will sizzle. Otherwise, I'll wear my flannel night gown with a padlock that's on the zipper.

Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7:4, "The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body. The wife does." So what is this called? This is called mutual submission. Say that with me. Mutual submission.

You're going to need that probably in the near future. You cannot manipulate your partner with sex. Manipulation is a form of witchcraft. And manipulation in marriage is very common in in in America. Any married person who tries to manipulate his or her spouse with sex is practicing witchcraft.

If you're doing it, stop it. Consider the problem of entering the marriage with high expectations and low preparation. It's shocking to me, actually unbelievable, that the courthouse will give any human being with brains enough to find the front door a license to get married. Think about it. If you want a driver's license to operate a car, to learn how to put the key in the addiction and do brilliant things like stepping on the gas, stopping at a sign, working the windshield wipers, you have to take a driver's education course that lasts for four months and costs several hundred before you can legally drive a car.

If you're going to cut someone's hair, you're going to trim their toenails, you're going to clean their teeth, you have to go to school somewhere to get a license. But to get a license to be married, a license that empowers you to create life, to destroy your life and your children's lives, a license to crush the dreams and hopes of your spouse.

All you need is the brains enough to find the courthouse. That's true. Men don't want a woman that ask unfair questions. There are five things that a woman should never ask. Question one is, "What are you thinking?" The proper answer to this question, of course, is I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear.

I'm just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, beautiful woman you are and how lucky I am to have you. Actually, this statement bears no resemblance to what you're thinking. At that time, it was probably the football game that's going to be on tonight. His latest golf score and what's for supper.

Question number two, do you love me? The correct answer to this question is yes. For those of you who feel the need to be more eloquent, you may answer yes, dear. Absolutely, without any doubt. Why in the world are you asking the wrong answer to this question? Would it make you feel better if I said yes?

Question number three, don't ask this question. Do I look fat? The correct male response is to emphatically state, "No, of course not." And then quickly leave the room. >> Question four. Do you think she's prettier than me? Gee, the she in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer by staring at you so hard that you almost cause a traffic accident.

The correct response is absolutely not. You are much prettier than that person. Men do not like tattletail wives. Publicly praise your husband. I say again, publicly praise your husbands. Privately criticize if necessary any other practice will launch World War II in a nancond. A man was speeding down a freeway when he was stopped by a police car and pulled over.

The policeman said, "Do you realize you were going 90 miles an hour in a 60 m an hour time uh speed zone?" And the driver responded, "That's impossible. I never break the speed limit." The driver's wife butts in and says, "Yes, you do. I'm I'm I'm always telling you to keep your speed down when you're driving."

So the policeman says, "I also noticed, sir, that you didn't have your seat belt on, and you put it on as I was walking up to your car." And the driver said, "That's not true, sir. I always wear my seat belt." But the tattletail wife butts in and says, "No, you don't.

I'm always telling you to put on your seat belt." The husband explodes. "Listen, stupid woman. Can't you just for once keep your mouth shut?" The policeman in a shock is driven to the other side of the car to the wife. So he moves to her side of the car and says, "Does he often speak to you like this, madam?"

And the tailtale wife says, "No, officer, only when he's been drinking love secrets every man must know to be a successful in marriage." Love secret one, for those not married, what you can walk away from will determine what God can bring you to. I'm talking about going with someone who has no interest in Jesus Christ.

Samson was a handsome and athletic young man in ancient Israel. He had a supernatural endowment of power that was built around the fact his hair was never cut. Now, I don't know the connection, but that's the Bible story. He was not attracted to any woman of faith in spite of his parents' warning.

He chose to give his heart to Delilah, a beautiful and seductive unbeliever. Samson should have walked away from her instantly. But the Bible says, "Do not be unequally yolked together with unbelievers." Samson's bitter reward for not walking away was a cheap haircut that cost him his life and his power with God because they captured him and they cut his hair off.

The anointing left him and he did not know why. When the Philistines came once again to capture him, Samson said, "I will go out as the other times when they attacked me and I will shake myself free and I will overpower them." The story is in Judges the 16th chapter.

Samson fought the Philistines and was quickly conquered. They burned out his eyes with a hot poker and forced him to grind ox grind corn like an ox all the days of his life at the city square while the citizens mocked him and spat upon him in their capital city.

Look at that. Get that picture in your mind. All he had to do to have a successful and happy life was to walk away from this woman. He would not and it totally destroyed his life. The question is, who is it that you need to walk away from in your life?

And I'm talking about someone who is rejecting Christ and rejecting the word of truth and rejecting your desire to serve the Lord. If that is anywhere close, walk away now. Does he or she profess to be a believer yet loves the world more than the church? If they be very careful, make sure you have salvation and not galvation.

Love secret number two, love is not a license to change or to control your spouse. Again, love is not a license to change or to control your spouse. There is no verse in the Bible that says you're to treat your spouse like your oldest child. >> That's a brave man over there.

It has been said, if you love something, set it free. And if it's truly yours, it will return. If it doesn't return, it was never yours. Are you fighting over control? Are you fighting over headship? The fight is over. The Bible says the husband is the head of the wife.

Period. Wives often say, "Well, I can't trust his decisions." I guess not. Look who he decided to marry. Love secret number three, accept responsibility for the quality of your marriage. Sir Winston Churchill said, "Responsibility is the key to greatness." And that's true. Do you accept responsibility for who you have become and for the things that you do?

If not, your marriage will never survive. Blaming your partner and complaining about what he or she does does not work. Mister, how often have you told your wife to make a decision for both of you and then complain about the outcome? Silence. You tell her to pick a place to go out to eat, and when she does, it's the wrong place.

Go and eat there. If you choke on every bite, go there. Tell her to choose the movie to go see, and when she does, it's the wrong movie. Go and watch the movie. Tragically, far too many husbands criticize everything their wives do. Stop it. You're systematically destroying your marriage relationship.

The Bible commands the husband to praise his wife publicly for the good things she does. Have you done that lately? Life will be far more enjoyable. And all the lady said, >> "Wow." In closing, Ephesians 5:33, "Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love his wife as himself."

And the wife see that she reverence her husband. She reverence her husband. This is Ephesians 5:33. Reverence is a powerful word. It's the word we address people in the ministry with. Reverend so and so. Reverence. Reverence means to stand in awe. Say that with me. To stand in awe.

Oh, here he comes. Oh, Mr. Universe. Oh, my hero. Oh, my love in life. Try it. It works. Love your wives as Christ loved the church and life can really be wonderful. >> Give the Lord praise in the house. >> You've been watching Haggy Ministries.
