The Wife
The Queen of the home
Ephesians 522-24.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of
the wife, even as Christ is the head of the
church and he is the savior of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in
everything.

God wants marriage to last for life

For many women this is not a popular statement!

Submission! How I hated that word. When it
flashed into my mind, all I could conjure up was
a nonentity, a nothing sort of yes-woman. I
didnt want to be only a reflection of another
person. ...Yet here I was faced with the
no-nonsense command of God, Wives, be subject to
your own husbands, as to the Lord (Ephesians
522). I had argued with God and with everyone
else that this verse could not mean what it
looked like on the surface that it was surely a
cultural statement that had meaning only for
Bible times. My next attempt was to reconstruct
the verse to read, Wives, submit yourselves unto
your husbands as to the Lord WHEN THEY ARE ACTING
LIKE THE LORD. But I knew it didnt mean that.
As I searched the Word that fifth year of our
marriage, I had to conclude that this verse meant
I was to submit myself to Jack in the same free
and nothing-held-back way that I wanted to
submit to Jesus Christ. Up to that point I had
felt that marriage was a 50/50 proposition, and
if Jack would give his 50, I would give mine.
However, it seemed that frequently we would fight
to determine whose turn it was to give that 50.
I had yet to learn that a happy biblical marriage
is one that is a 100 proposition with each
partner willing to give 100. God calls wives to
submission. God wants the wife to follow the
leadership of her husband. As she does this, it
gives evidence of her reverence for Christ. It
demonstrates her trust in His plan.

A wife who does not submit to her husband cannot
be said to trust the Lord
If you are a wife, are you submitting to your
husband?
See it as your children see it. 1.Do arguments
happen often? 2.Are your conversations
characterized by complaining, blaming, or
nagging? 3.Do you build up your husband or tear
him down? 4.Do you want to control matters, or
do you let him lead? 5.Does Jesus approve of the
way you are following your husbands leadership?
Dont Forget Strong families strong churches.

What submission is not
Gal 328.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither
bond nor free, there is neither male nor female
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Submission is necessary for a wife to attain
full joy in her life and marriage!
