What does it mean for a wife to ‘incubate?’ Much like we incubate a baby, our husbands can plant a seed on the inside their wives, and we grow it until it’s fully developed, grown, beautiful, live and able to be released, achieved and manifested into this world.
God has given us and our families through our husbands (and wives, too, but we’re talking about men at once) dreams, and we, as wives, can take those dreams and form words of encouragement to grow them to their full potential. We can nurture, remind, pray, push towards, and produce those seeds before God. We can prophesy over our husbands concerning it until that thing grows and develops. That is what we’re referring to as incubation.
We can push it out together just as our husbands are with us within the labor room. It’s ours together. Our husbands’ dreams can grow to be our dreams, and our dreams may be their dreams. We push this out together. Wives and husbands have different roles within the family dynamic. My dynamic is everybody’s dynamic, but I believe the principles remain that there is just something concerning the woman that has the power to incubate. The woman can actually abort the person’s vision, or she may also help it. She can incubate it, remind him of it, and support it.
