"Eskis Sir" (Can I have your attention sir) Your Wife Doesn’t Need All Your Attention—Just Your Full Attention
There’s a difference.
Many of us are physically present but mentally absent. We sit next to our spouse, but our mind is on work. We nod along while scrolling through our phone. We say “I’m listening,” but we’re really just waiting for our turn to speak.
Quality trumps quantity ALWAYS.
When someone gives you their full attention, in that moment, you are the MOST IMPORTANT person in their world.
When Jesus engaged with people, He didn’t try to be everywhere at once, but when He was with someone, they had His full presence. The woman at the well (John 4)? He saw her. Zacchaeus in the tree (Luke 19)? He stopped for him. The bleeding woman in the crowd (Luke 8)? He turned and gave her His full attention.
Marriage needs this kind of presence.
Husbands, your wife doesn’t need you to quit your job, cancel your friendships, or abandon your personal growth in the name of giving her all your attention. She just needs to know that when she has your attention, she has all of it. That means putting the phone down, looking into her eyes, listening—not just hearing.
Ecclesiastes 9:9 (NIV) says,
"Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun..."
Enjoying life together isn’t about never looking away—it’s about being fully present when it matters.
So today, give your wife your full attention—not just whatever’s left over after distractions. I'll start doing the same.
