The Christian Wife



A Christian wife is someone who has a close relationship to God. She is full of faith and always ready to give her life for the ministry. However, being a great wife doesn't end there. A wife has some duties and responsibilities to her husband. If you want your relationship to grow, you should work hand in hand. For you to fulfill your role as a great Christian wife, here are the things you must follow:
  1. Be a trustworthy wife. A man always longs for an honest wife. Someone he can totally trust in situation they are in. Being trustworthy doesn't only mean being truthful in your relationship. It also covers the essence of being supportive despite your husband's failure. Accept the fact that your man is just a human being, and that he tends to commit mistakes and makes wrong decisions in life. However, the important thing is you are always beside him. Make him realize that you still love him despite the difficult times he is experiencing. By showing your genuine love, he gains self-reliance and confidence that you are more willing to stay with him no matter how hard the situation is. Hence, his trust in you will get stronger as you build a strong marriage life.
  2. Surrender your life to God. Being a Christian wife requires a strong faith to the Almighty. Like what the Bible says, "In every strength of a man, there's a woman behind it". If you want to be a great Christian wife learn to surrender everything to God. Develop Christian characters that will mold you in being a good wife to your husband. You can ask your spouse to devote time for prayer. Encourage him to lead a Bible study in your house. It can be during weekends, when everybody is at home or during early morning where you prioritize God before starting the day. You can pray together or alone in your own room. The essential part is you pray for each other; plead for your children and commune for your relationship as husband and wife. A great wife will always push her man to what is right in God's eyes.
                                                
I made may mistakes in my marriage even during my walk with Christ and it cost me a whole lot. Why go through all the trials and just do things right NOW!!. You might be thinking that i am just taking the husband's part and yes they doe make mistakes, but us as woman tend to blow things out of proportion. Our men needs us to stick by them. If you are business minded and your husband is a bit slow when it comes to that part, don't make him feel as if he's not bringing his part. Whatever you do, remember it is for the whole family. Allow your man to give his ideas and see where it can fit in. I know there are times that you do include them but they just don't seem interested, but what do you do the day they are interested? Do you give him a bit of your mind when they were not interested when you tried to share with him? 
The Fruits of the Spirit is required here.

I have come to a point where i don't care what people say or think about me  when i speak on behalf of the men. SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT!!!!!
I am doing this all in love. Ladies, i know our minds are always out there but it will not help if we don't included our men. 

In His love,
