How Do You Have Unconditional Positive Regard Toward Your Wife?
.svg)
Husbands: Ever wonder how to stay loving and respectful when your wife’s words hurt deeply and feel completely unfair? Dr. Emerson Eggerichs answers a real husband’s question with practical, biblical steps to show “unconditional positive regard” without becoming a doormat—turning conflict into connection and bringing most good-willed wives under conviction to soften and repair.
Questions to Consider
- When your wife says something hurtful, do you first react to the tone or search for the fear or frustration underneath it?
- Are you willing to be the mature adult in the room even when it feels completely unfair?
- What would happen in your marriage if, just once, you paused and rephrased her deeper concern instead of defending yourself?
- Do you believe showing restraint and dignity actually increases your power and influence with your wife, or does it feel like weakness to you right now?
