🌹💕Today, we’re looking at God’s command to wives on how they should relate with their husbands in marriage.
🌹💕As we can see in our anchor scripture, God commands Wives to submit to their husbands “AS UNTO THE LORD”. This verse is saying that a wife’s submission to her husband should be done as if she were submitting to God Himself. Anything less would not do.
Anything different is not acceptable.
🌹💕Dear Housewife, if Christ came to your home today, how would you conduct yourself towards Him? With uttermost humility, respect and reverence, isn’t it? Now, that’s exactly how God wants you to relate with your husband. Don’t let familiarity with him make you feel it’s not necessary.
🌹💕If any one was familiar with Abraham it was Sarah his wife. How? Because she was Abraham’s Sister and they were raised in the same family. But when she became his wife and recognised his position as her Head in Marriage, she submitted to him with reverence, obeyed his voice and called him “My Lord”!(1 Peter 3: 6)
🌹💕Dear Wives, Submission is something you always do outside the home, so you shouldn’t see it as something hard to demonstrate in your relationship with your beloved husband whose name you proudly bear.
🌹💕Let me show you some instances of how women effortlessly submit outside the home. .
🌹💕(1) At the end of Sunday worship service in many Churches, women go to greet their Pastor. Many of them happily go down on both knees, despite being in their beautiful Sunday dresses and greet their Pastor. This is good and complies with the scripture which says: “Obey them that have the rule over you, and SUBMIT YOURSELVES”(Hebrews 13:17a). It’s always beautiful to behold the humbleness demonstrated by those women.
But if it’s good to honour your Pastor with kneeling down when greeting him, isn’t it also good for your dear husband to enjoy that level of honour from you? After all, you’re commanded in our anchor scripture to SUBMIT to him “as unto the Lord”!
🌹💕(2) Women always go for Antenatal check up during pregnancy. Of course, it’s common knowledge that they undress in the clinic for pelvic exam: a normal medical procedure for pregnant women.
🌹💕She may be highly educated, very rich and in her forties but she’ll humbly lie down on the pelvic exam couch and fully open her thighs for the Doctor, a young man, who’s perhaps in his twenties, to fingercheck her private part while she’s wide awake and even smiling exuberantly.
🌹💕But, when she gets back home the same woman would be offended and explode like a bomb just because her husband touched her WAIST playfully. Madam, if you meekly submitted at the Antenatal clinic for the young Doctor, why should it be difficult for you to smile and respond pleasantly when your husband touches your waist?
🌹💕We could site other scenarios like the workplace where women demonstrate impeccable submission but time and space would not permit it us.
🌹💕Sisters, if you’re sweet and submissive outside the home, why should you become irritable, easily offended and stiffnecked when at home with your own husband? It’s time to obey the voice of God and submit your husband as deeply as you do to God.
🌹💕 When you do: you’ll grow in favour with your husband. He’ll respect you in return. And your union will be on a sweeter and stronger matrimony.

📚📖🌹QUOTES: “The Biblical Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31 was first a sweet, sultry, voluptuous and sensationally sexy woman in the bedroom before she appeared as a successful lady outside. If she’s your role model, then prioritize your relationship with your husband first and thereafter build other things.”(Anselm Ahman. From Lovebirds’ Devotional of September 28, 2024)
