Presentation transcript:

The best marriages are made between those who recognize and submit to God's will The divorce rate in U.S. is now higher than in any other civilized nation in the world and even more tragic, the divorce rate among Christians is only slightly lower than for the population at large

The God given place of the wife is one of dignity and honor. She honors God and her husband no better than when she remembers and appreciates this fact. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing..." (Prov 18:22), especially when that wife knows and respects God's will for her in marriage.

LIKE THE HUSBAND SHE MUST "LEAVE FATHER AND MOTHER" – She must leave one family relationship in favor of establishing another Matt 19:5,6 – The latter relationship must take precedence over the former

SHE MUST BE IN SUBJECTION TO HER HUSBAND – This subjection was from the beginning Gen 3:16 – This subjection to be "as unto the Lord" Eph 5:22 – This subjection to be comprehensive: "In everything" Eph 5:24; Acts 5:29 – This subjection is even to unbelieving husbands 1Pet 3:1; 1Cor 7:13 – Such subjection is "fitting in the Lord“ Col 3:18; Eph 5:24

SHE MUST BE IN SUBJECTION TO HER HUSBAND – Longfellow in his HIAWATHA has beautifully expressed the relationship of the wife to her husband "As unto the bow the cord is, So unto the man is woman; Though she bends him she obeys him, Useless each without the other!"

SHE IS TO BE A TRUE HELP MEET Gen 2:18,20 – "Help Meet" involves compatibility and appropriateness to her husband's needs. A compliment to him, suitable for meeting all of his needs. – She helps him meet his physical needs Gen 2:18; 1Cor 7:1-4; Heb 13:4 – She helps meet his domestic needs Tit 2:5; 1Tim 5:14; Prov 31:27 – She helps in spiritual matters 1Pet 3:1-5; 1Cor 7:16; 1Pet 3:7

SHE TRULY LOVES HER HUSBAND Tit 2:4 – This love is not just infatuation or based on physical attraction, but rather a commanded love. Older women are to teach younger women to love their husbands – This love must be cultivated and expressed continually – This love is based on respect (reverence) Eph 5:33; Mk 6:20; 1Pet 3:6

The role of woman is God appointed and if she is pleasing to God as a wife, she must be aware of her God given responsibilities and submit to them or she is not a Christian

"Woman was created to complement man, to supply what he lacked. She gives his life meaning; she encourages, motivates, and inspires. She brings peace and contentment. She stabilizes and at the same time stimulates. Man needs woman's feminine influence to make his life complete and happy. Men and women were created to be husbands and wives." -- (Ruth E. Hazelwood - The Challenge of Being a Wife)
