YESTERDAY, WE SAW THAT THERE ARE MARRIAGES in which the wife is brighter, smarter and more favoured than the husband and the husband needn’t feel threatened.

Now, what should be the attitude of the wife who is evidently making more impact in the home and family than her husband? Firstly, her attitude should be knowledge-based.

A KNOWLEDGE-BASED ATTITUDE

(1) KNOW THAT YOU WERE CREATED FOR AND FROM YOUR HUSBAND!
The wife who is more progressive and more prosperous than her husband, should know that GOD created her FOR HER HUSBAND as it’s evident in Genesis 2: 18B:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I WILL MAKE HIM AN HELP MEET FOR HIM.”(Genesis 2: 18).
Know that you were created FOR YOUR HUSBAND. Therefore, you are a divine Gift to him. All your achievements in the home, just like your children, are God’s gifts to him and you must never use any of them to boast against him or to taunt him.

If he’s not earning enough to meet the needs in the home, thank God that God gave you to him. And hear this: it’s no mistake that you’re in his life. God brought you into his life knowing his weaknesses and He set you beside him to be his strength in those areas where he’s deficient or weak.

If you’re the one bringing Food into the home, never ever taunt him saying: “From January to December, what do you bring to the table? I’m I not the one feeding you? Are you not ashamed of yourself? Are you you even a Man? Na wa for you, ooo!” When you do this, be careful! When you do it again and again and again, I fear for you! Why? Because you’re going contrary to God’s Word. You were CREATED FOR YOUR HUSBAND and your services in the marriage, in the home and family, as earlier hinted, are God’s gifts to Him. As a wife and woman, you’re an embodiment of diverse helps packaged together by God FOR YOUR HUSBAND. You’re his bones multiplied and his flesh magnified. Don’t use any of what you have, who you’ve become or what you do in the relationship to directly or indirectly brag, insult and debase him; for God will not be pleased with you. All that you’re able to do in the home and all that you bring into the family are not by your power but by the grace of God. And when you no longer recognize that it’s Grace but think it’s you who’s “doing the deeds and blessing the family”, you’re like Nebuchadnezzar who thought that his world conquest and his development of the city of Babylon was by his might. His pride brought divine judgement on him. Why? Because everywhere and at all times, GOD RESISTS THE PROUD. And when God resists you, you’ll crash. That’s why Nebuchadnezzar crashed and became a beast for seven years! Don’t take credit for what God is doing through you in the home and don’t be boastful.

As a wife always remember that you were created FOR AND FROM YOUR HUSBAND(1 Corinthians 11:8-9).

(2) GOD GAVE YOU AS A CROWN OF HONOUR TO YOUR HUSBAND

“A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”(Proverbs 12: 4)
If you’re a productive, active, enterprising and a go-getter wife, you’re a virtuous woman. And according to the scripture immediately above, YOU ARE THE CROWN OF YOUR HUSBAND.

A crown is a thing of honour, isn’t it? However, it’s real glory is seen when it’s on the head of the King.

Now, when the scripture tells you that you are the CROWN of your husband, it’s telling you at the same time that YOUR HUSBAND IS A KING!

If, for instance, you’re a married to a husband who hasn’t much education but you’ve got your PhD, know that you’re a crown to him. God brought you into his life and used you to coronate him. People will see him passing by and say to the person sitting beside them: “O Boy, See, see, see… that’s the man! Do you know that he isn’t much educated but his wife has a PhD in Mathematics from Oxford?” The man is held in high esteem BECAUSE OF YOU. That’s what it means to be a crown! Your education isn’t only bringing blessings into the home, it’s washing, polishing and exalting your husband and the father of your children. What could be more?

But when on the other hand, you yell at him and tell him out loud: “Do I even blame you? How would you see well, when you’re as blind as a Bat because all you have is that wretched School Certificate from a Community Secondary School that was not even accredited by WAEC? Muumuu from Mushin! I made the mistake of my life in choosing to marry an Oldie like you because I was young and didn’t know much!” When you shame your husband, you don’t only debase yourself and reduce your own worth, you become a smelly ulcerous wound in his bones. That’s what the second half of the verse above says. Don’t use your pride and your mouth to dig your an early grave for yourself like the wife of Socrates: the woman who was married to one of ancient times’ greatest Philosophers
but never appreciated him.

If God is using you to be bless your husband and your family, please, be dignified in conduct.

Please, listen to this secret: As a CROWN, your place of glory is the HEAD OF YOUR HUSBAND. So do all and everything you can to honour, respect, cherish and reverence him so he’d be happy and live long for you. Why? Because once he’s dead, you may never be worn again, no matter how your dazzling beauty. Why? Because most of the time, Widows don’t remarry. Not because they don’t desire remarriage but because Suitors rarely seek them for marriage.

So, as a wife, recognize that your present husband is most likely your last. Hard saying but very true. Therefore, as a CROWN, “sit” respectfully and reverently on his head. Help him to be strong and healthy so that you’ll both live long to experience good old age together!

(3) SUBMIT YOURSELF TO YOUR HUSBAND IN ALL THINGS(Ephesians 5:22-24)
This is commanded by God. It means, even if you’re the moving spirit of the family, your husband is THE HEAD OF THE HOME KINGDOM. Submit to his authority and leadership except when he’s evidently wrong!
