Four Principles Every Wife Must Learn

Four Principles Every Wife Must Learn

Reading Time: 2 minutes

COUPLES –

This morning, I want to write about four principles that should never be flouted by any lady, flouting these principles is a sure way a woman can destroy her family.

1. Never Compare Your Home Or Family With Another.

A lot of women are caught up in comparison traps, spending the money they don’t have to buy things they don’t need in order to impress people that are not even taking note!

You need to understand that some people use 90% of their income to pose and show forth, so it is foolhardy to compare yourself with them.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. -2Corintians 10:12 (KJV)

See how another translation puts it;

We’re not, understand, putting ourselves in a league with those who boast that they’re our superiors. We wouldn’t dare do that. But in all this comparing and grading and competing, they quite miss the point. -2Corintians 10:12 (MSG)

When you fall into a comparison trap, you can put yourself, your husband, and your family in unnecessary pressure. Continual comparison can sentence one into a perpetual state of ungratefulness to God which can eventually culminate in depression.

2. Never Become The Head Of Your Family.

That is not the order that God has instituted. The moment you try to do this, you have violated the principles of God and confusion will surely set in.

This is often expressed when you refuse to accept corrections from your husband.

But I want you to understand that Christ is supreme over every man, the husband is supreme over his wife, and God is supreme over Christ. -1Corintians 11:3 (GNB)

I am not in any way suggesting you violate God’s principles in order to ‘submit’ to your husband. But in a general sense, a wife is supposed to submit to her own husband. Some women submit to their Pastors but not to their husbands.

That bothers on hypocrisy because you are submitting to another man’s husband in effect. Your submission to your Pastor becomes genuine when you really submit to your own husband.

To be continued…

Ten Ways To Show Respect to Yourselves In Marriage

Ten Ways To Show Respect to Yourselves In Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Today we will be looking at the topic “Ten ways to show respect to yourselves in marriage”

Against contrary opinions, respect in marriage is mutual. People are of the opinion that respect for the husbands is a big deal. Yes, it is. Just as men do not want to be disrespected in private or public, so also women need a dose of respect.

Men can readily tell what a bruised ego is and in this part of the world. an average man will not tolerate to be disrespected in any form, method, shape or size. In other to have a relationship that is healthy and mutually beneficial, respect has to be mutual.

Some of us don’t even know when we are being disrespected. The gospel of men dominance has been preached for so long that women feel they are not worth much. that they are just worthless, less than good, helpless, weaker vessels.

Contrary wise, women have tremendous strength, ability, knowledge, wisdom and great dexterity. It takes great strength to be a mother and give birth to a child, to keep a home, multitask, submit to your husband and stay married. All these take great strength.

But if we are going to have a healthy marriage relationship we would know that submission to one another in the fear of God is essential. A man not submitted to Christ is a difficult man and hard to submit to.

This is not teaching or telling wives not to submit to their husbands. It is addressing that fact that marriage is meant to be mutually beneficial to both the husband and the wife.

Tomorrow, I will show us practical ways we can submit to one another in marriage.

God bless our marriages.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am submitted to my spouse.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, teach me how to submit to my own spouse.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Ephesians 5:21(KJV) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Are you submitted?

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Eph 5
