Wifely Submission in a Mariage is God's Plan
by Cheryl Williams
The question of the husband's leadership role within a family is one
that is often debated. Whereas some wives gladly admit that they are to
submit to their husbands, other wives balk at the very idea. Much
of this has to do with how the husband interprets the leadership he is
supposed to provide within a home.
Charlotte, NC Pastor David Chadwick explained it clearly in a recent sermon at Forest Hill Church, the last in a series of sermons on "Hard Core Love". God's plan is for the husband and wife to both be equally submissive to God as a couple. Within the home, the Bible clearly states that wives are to to "submit to your husbands as to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:22) and that husbands are to "love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..." (Ephesians 5:25)
Wow, that's a lot of love. Think about it. Christ loved the
church so much that he gave his life for it. This means that a
husband is supposed to love his wife enough to give his life for
her. What it doesn't mean is that the husband is supposed to
boss her around and lord it over her without a thought for her
wants and needs. Unfortunately, this is how some husbands
misinterpret the Bible. As a result, wives balk at the idea of
submitting themselves to a man who has no regard for their
feelings.
There are also husbands who neglect their leadership role,
handing it over to their wives...avoiding their God-given
responsibility. What happens in this situation is that the wife
will become overwhelmed, having to fulfill both the roles of
husband and wife. She will become fatigued, stressed and
resentful.
In looking at marriages I know which are suffering, I can
clearly see how many problems would be eliminated if couples
would look at their God-given roles as husbands and wives and
take those roles seriously, remembering that God is the one they
submit to as a couple. The power struggles would be gone. The
trust issues would be gone. The lack of respect would be gone.
Sex lives would improve because the spiritual connection would
be more intense.
Why not take a look at your own marriage and see where it falls within the plan that God has for all marriages? If you see an area that you need to work on, give it a try and see the improvements that will be made in your relationship with your spouse.
