Being taught again.

Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience. Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.”

Submission in marriage is a sign of respect a wife has toward her husband. It is an attitude intended to help her and her husband to live a more contentful, lovable and peaceful life together. Problems and disagreements between a husband and wife in marriage are inevitable but with this in place, certain issues are solved easily and quickly.

You see when you get married, you are no longer responsible for yourself alone but for another person as well so you’re more like one person because you’re joint for life; only death can separate you. Marriage isn’t something we walk in and walk out anytime we feel like it so you best walk in with both eyes wide open…. a story for another day.

It’s the responsibility of the Husband to love his wife, no one else can do it for you. You chose and decided to be with this one girl until death do you part so do your part as a Husband and love her. Don’t only love her, support her, provide for her, be with her, embrace her…be one so you can have a healthy marriage.

Genesis 2: 24 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

We honestly need to get back to the place where the older men taught the younger men how to lead in a home, causing him to remember that he must work to provide for his family, teaching him to love his one wife, children and look after them, protect them, groom them into becoming great and better people. Most of our parents did this for us but we are now denying our children and their children this priviledge.

Ladies! We need to get back to a place where the older women teach and groom the younger women how to behave in a community, with other people, friends, family, husbands and fellow women, take care of the home, cook, take care of the children and everything homely. This is necessary because women are naturally nurturers so we need to do the needful.

Wives need to submit to their husbands as is written in the Bible. Most of our mothers did a great job of taking hold of this position, humbled themselves to be below their husbands, took good care of them and that’s why most of their marriages lasted long (yes there could be a few cases that were otherwise…). There’s wisdom in submission, wives (not women who are not married) as you let the man be the head and lead as you follow right behind. Seen this with the marriages in the church I belong to, Worship Harvest and these couples are happy, genuinely happy! My perception on marriage has been changed and greatly shaped having considered no marriage for me at some point in time.

The Bible is our life’s manual so we either do and prosper or don’t and fail….

Yours truly,

Fiona
