UNDERSTANDING YOUR HUSBANDS INSECURITIES AND HOW TO HELP HIM.

by Karien Jafta
(Ennerdale, JHB, South Africa)

Dear Rev Lee

My name is Karien Jafta, I am a born again christian for 8 years now. I am married to my husband for almost 7 years.

I was very interested in modeling since I was a little girl. When I got saved I stoped modeling and studied for a pastor at my previous church. When I got married I left my church and followed my husband.

I know what God created is good. He is the artist and the potter. He gave me a gift of outer and inner beauty. I have been focused on inner beauty for the past 7 years.

It layed on my heart to start modeling again, I've entered Mrs. South Africa 2010. My husband said it is fine. But last night he came with a scripture from the word on not focusing on outer beauty but inner beauty.
What must I do. This competition is very important to me, but I dont understand these strange messages my husband sends me. What is it he want to tell me? I dont intend to change as a person. I'm still involved in childrens ministry in the community. I just dont want to burry my gift, Satan have stolen my youth and God is giving it back to me. I feel young and happy and full of inspiration. After I prayed about it, I saw change in my husband. But I want to understand him, what he is going through and how I can help him without him even knowing.

Kind Regards.

Karien, I can't speak for your husband. Only he can speak for himself. However, I would venture a guess. If I were in his shows, I would be both very proud of you and a bit unnerved that so many people would be looking at you.

Let's be clear, beauty contests are not merely talent competitions or attempts to see who is attractive. There is a level of sexuality involved. Men, who I am sure you know are visually aroused, do not merely look at the women on stage in wholesome ways. Your husband knows this.

I would also venture that you reveal yourself somewhat in your final paragraph. Satan does not rob us of youth. That is the natural progress of living. Many times, we get caught up in holding on to that youth, but it still passes.

Perhaps your husband can have ambivalence without that making your decision. I would suggest sitting down and asking if he is concerned about how people may objectify you. Then you both can think through what needs to happen.

You show your maturity in wondering what is up with your husband and wanting to understand it. He is the best source for this.

Blessings to both of you!
