Who is a wife? Can we really tell the difference between a spinster and a wife in this generation? I have wondered why the name was given in the first place because it's been subverted.
A young lady that has seen herself as someone who already knows what it takes to be a wife would definitely know that being joined to a man in HOLY matrimony is a task that differentiates her from being just a lady to a wife. I believe the name "wife" was given to indicate that there is a man in her life which is not just a short term relationship but a life long one.
For a woman to stay in a life long relationship with a man, I discover that she must wrap herself up in some virtue that can make the relationship last. A home remains unbroken "IF" the woman of the house won't give up. It isn't a surprise if a spinster doesn't have this virtue, but for a wife it would reduce her values drastically.
A spinster who doesn't add these virtues to her values can easily find a way to get them, but a wife trying to have them is like returning to square zero. These virtues are submission and respect. Now some would be like: are you kidding me? Become a slave? But it ain't what you're thinking.
It's true that it sounds like slavery but it's not. See it as two friends who agree on some things, but once in a while they see things from a different perspective which can end up in disagreement. Now marriage is more than being friends and it involves a lot of things when it gets to the stage of a couple seeing from different points of view. It is the duty of the woman to let her husband have a say on that issue- this is submission.
Though you might be right about the issue and it's seeming like the man is holding on to his ego, just let go of yours. He's the head of the house and you are the body. The head is stiff if the body doesn't move, and this is the role most wives want to play - the "my own way" role. Meanwhile, there is a lead role to play which is the "I support you" role.
It is often said that "beside a successful man, there is a woman." This can also be said as "there is a supporting wife beside a successful man." When you tell your husband I have my own way, but I support yours, hoping for the best result - that is RESPECT. The way you submit and respect to your husband and his view determines how strong your home is and wonderful you are. It isn't a sign of weakness, but it shows how strong and bold you are.
This is not just a story that explains what a wife must do to have a solid relationship with her husband, which is how it ought to be, but a relationship of Christ Jesus and the church of God. It is so sad that Christianity has lost its values. We want everything done in our own way. We must know that we are nothing without our savior who took our pain and bore our shame.
To those that have accepted and are already joined with Christ, it is high time you became submissive and respectful to the one who loves you. For those that are still "thinking about it", think about the benefits you are missing because you are nothing without him(john 15:5) and no one can Love you the way he does. What is a man's profit, if he gains the world and loses his soul? Or what shall he give in exchange for his soul? ( Matthew 16:26). Come to Jesus today, He's still calling, please pick up the phone and answer His call.
The difference between a spinster and a wife is the act of submission and respect, these same virtues differentiates believers from unbelievers. Believe in Jesus Christ today and begin to live life abundantly.
