YOU AND YOUR HOME

Woman, the you outside reflects the you at home. How peaceful your home is determines the result and achievement for the day. For you and your home to be at peace, you have lots of prices and sacrifices to pay. For your home to be blissful, there are certain unwholesome character traits that you must give up.

Eph. 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. The word of God that is our guide here clearly stated all you need as a woman to enjoy your marriage and to get the best from your husband and to also have a blissful home, which can be reflected in our lives outside the home, in order for us to fulfill purpose and be a blessing. The key word here from God the initiator of marriage to the woman is
"SUBMISSION".

A submissive woman is one who is ready to adjust to the new life of a married woman and to put away certain old ways that does not permit a blissful home. You must be prepaid to submit fully to your God given and chosen husband. As a single lady, certain things you were used to before you got married , may not fit into this new atmosphere of a married life. Remember, now that you are married, you must now live to please your husband, God’s word said so. 1 Cor 7:34…. But she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. You must find out ways to always please your husband and also know certain things you should give up or sacrifice in order to get the best of your husband.

SOME THINGS TO GIVE UP

Your old way of dressing: If this offends your husband, please adjust and dress to please him. Before our wedding, John told me that there are certain ways l was dressing which he wouldn’t want as a Minister’s wife, after our wedding, l adjusted immediately to please him and also to have a blissful home (Submission is the key word). Now as a married woman, you cannot afford to dress the way you like.

Friends: There are some friends that you can no longer keep now that you are married. It is a worthwhile sacrifice to get a better thing (home). If your husband dose not approve of certain of your single, even married women friends, don’t fight over the issue, remember, you have to adjust, it is all for your good.

Food: Before l got married, l could just eat whatever l like, but when the moment of reality came soonest after we got married, John simply said, woman, l don’t want you eating this and I don’t want you eating that, should l fight him, no, all l did was to obey for peace to reign and for the sake of a happy home. If your husband is offended by the reason of certain food, please stay off. John my husband did the same for me; he gave up certain habits, foods and friends just to make me happy. If you submit wholeheartedly to your husband you will earn his undying love and respect.

You should at all time remember that it is only a winner that is celebrated, stand for your home and make it work; let your marriage encourage other single ladies out there to desire marriage. I pray for the wisdom of God upon your life to make your marriage blissful.
