‘However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband’ (Eph 5:33)
As a wife, I am transparent to my husband. I cannot tell him ‘everything’ because that means I will talk too much and he will be tired of my voice. But all my decisions are done in the presence of God, confirmed thru prayer and also honoring my office as his wife. My testimony as a wife has to be available to my husband for His encouragement. The heart is like glass, clean or dirty. I have to wash mine daily from worldly dust, so it will not hide sin. With just a glance, my husband should look into my eyes and know that all is well with both of us! My submission to my husband should draw us closer to God and to one another.
The Bible is the foundation of a good marriage. Read scriptures in your bedroom, before you sleep. The Word of God should be your delight, sweeter than your daily food, stronger than your personal dreams and safer than your home.
The more I study the Bible, the more I love it! The Bible is a stranger to you except you read it; you study it and daily apply its words in practice. Have you tried to imagine how your life can be if you truly obey the Word of God? Even so, the best you can imagine is still below the vision of who you can be, according to God’s plan and purpose in Christ…
“Father, help me, I’ve wasted enough time…please increase my hunger for Your Word…help me obey You voice…help me to submit to my husband and fulfill my destiny as a godly wife in Christ…I depend on You, in Jesus name I pray, amen!”
