THE DEMANDS OF
MARRIAGE – THE WOMAN’S RESPONSIBILITY
By DIGC 21 October 2019
Submission is not slavery but service. Stop
talking back at your husband, rather, talk for your husband.
SCRIPTURE: Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Ephesians 5:22
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Submission is not slavery but service. Stop talking back at your husband,
rather, talk for your husband.
It is important to
note that the will of God for everyone is to succeed in marriage. This is
because marriage is the first institution instituted by God on the earth.
(Genesis 2:18, 24).
The truth is, for a
marriage to be termed successful; it takes a dogged sense of responsibility
from both the man and the woman. Having examined some of the man’s
responsibilities in marriage in our previous teachings, today, we shall be
dealing with a few responsibilities of the woman as regards marriage:
1. Total submission
(Ephesians 5:22):- This is the action of the woman accepting the authority of
her husband.
Get this: Submission
is not slavery but service; submission is not weakness, rather it is a great
strength. Kindly note the following:
*When a woman submits
to her husband in everything, it would increase her respect before him.
*Do not talk back at
your husband, rather, talk for your husband.
*It would amount to a
colossal mistake to marry a man you are sure you will not be able to respect
and obey.
*Wife, do not let your
certificate become a weapon that makes it difficult for you to give due regard to
your husband.
2. Interest in the Man
(Genesis 2:18):- The woman is the help-meet of the man, hence she should be
interested in the interests of the man.
As a wife, instead of
resisting your husband all the times, assist him in fulfilling God’s plan for
his life on earth.
You shall make it, in
Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS:
Submission is not slavery but service. Stop talking back at your husband,
rather, talk for your husband.
ASSIGNMENT(S)
1. Make up your mind
to be interested in what interests your spouse. Assist them to fulfill their
God-ordained destiny.
2. Carefully consider
and apply the instructions in the study.
PRAYER: Lord, I make
demands on Your help to be a good and submissive wife to my husband. I receive the grace to be more committed and
responsible to my spouse Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
