Wives must submit to their husbands!

20 Aug

Let me present this interesting article I found in the internet, I am searching and studying why a woman has to submit to her husband and I have learned a lot.  I want to submit to my husband so the favor of the Lord is with me.

the Lord has spoken to me about the rol I have in marriage, I am a little stubborn and I think I have control over my husband and of his life.  I have been miserable for thinking that because I have to play the rol that the Lord made me to to play.  I am learning and hope you learn too.

Let us return to the Lord´s plan for family, for our family.  Let us be what He wants us to be!!!

Wives must submit to their husbands!

The submission of a wife is a management position, not slavery!The wife must subject herself to her husband by placing him in the position of leadership a husband cannot force his wife into subjection, she controls this.

Definition of Subjection/submission: Greek “hupotasso” a military term, to rank under (Vine)

Few subjects create emotional stirs like that of a wife being subject to her husband. Yet the Bible is crystal clear. For some women, truly accepting this one Bible teaching may very well be the ultimate test of their faith in God. This subject is greatly misunderstood by the worldly and Christian alike. Many misconceptions as to what Bible subjection really means for the wife exist. It is usually interpreted to be equivalent to slavery. Yet when you compare the worlds view of the wife’s subjection to her husband to the Bible’s instructions for the literal master-slave relationship, the latter would be bliss!

We need to understand what the Bible means by subjection rather than the world’s “street talk”. Then God will keep the rains from leaking into our homes!

A wife’s submission to her husbands does not make her inferior or unequal!

The husband treats his wife as an equal, the wife treats the husband as a higher rank.

 A wife’s submission to her husbands does not make her inferior or unequal!

  1. Husbands and wives are absolutely equal before God, even when a wife submits to her husband.
  2. To suggest that women are inferior to men because they submit denies the equality of the Trinity doctrine. Jesus and the Father are both uncreated God, yet Jesus submits to the Father. Jesus is not less God than the Father because He submits to the Father?
  3. A husband must submit to his employer? Is the boss categorically superior to an employee? Never! They are equal in their rights as men, but one is head and the other is subordinate.
  4. Some suggest that a wife submitting to husband makes her a second class human, or inferior to men. This is wrong. Husbands and wives share equal rights a humans. The husband is not “higher” than the wife because she must submit to him!
  5. Scripture teaches that the husband must treat his wife as an equal, even though he rules over her and she submits.
  6. The husband treats his wife as an equal, the wife treats the husband as a higher rank.

Why won’t my children submit to me and respect me?

Fact: Children treat their mother, the way the mother treats her husband.Cure: “but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. ” 1 Peter 3:4

“the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.” Ephesians 5:33

  1. Mothers complaint: The children don’t respect me! Children imitate the way their mothers respect their husband. Its likely your own fault the children don’t respect you. Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband.
  2. A wife should never raise her voice and yell her husband, even when he is wrong: 1 Peter 3:4 A wife must never address her husbands above a “quiet, respectful, submissive, whisper”, at any time. If you do this, your children will imitate this and address you, their head in exactly the same way.
  3. Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband. Want your children to respect your headship over them? Then respect your husband’s headship over you!
  4. If your children are yelling at you, perhaps they learned this from you yelling at their father! Children know he is head, even if you won’t let him be such. You have trained them by your example, to disrespect headship. Your insubordination to your husband has trained your own children to treat you the same way!
  5. While it is true that the husband can contribute to the problem by not disciplining the children when they disrespect their mother, the problem usually is the mother’s fault. You see, even if the father does a perfect job of disciplining the children for talking back to their mother, the children will still “trash” the mother, if they see her “trashing” her husband.
  6. Children learn submission from the mother, not the father. Children learn headship from the father, not the mother. Therefore the key point for children, who must first learn to submit, is to imitate the submission style of the mother to her husband. If she shows an example of insubordination to her head, then the children learn this from their mother and treat her the same way. After all, the children think that is the normal way you submit to authority. They are merely doing what the mother taught them.
  7. The Bible is clear:
    “but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. ” 1 Peter 3:4
    “the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.” Ephesians 5:33

Mothers complaint: The children don’t respect me! Children imitate the way their mothers respect their husband. Its likely your own fault the children don’t respect you. Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband.

 

 

How one wife finally put her husbands in his place!!!

A Sunday school teacher went over to visit one of her new pupils named Katrine, one summer’s afternoon. The family had immigrated only five years earlier from the “home country”. The mother was warm and friendly, even her house exuded hospitality. What was most impressive though was the woman’s constant references to her husband. Whenever there was a lull in the conversation a little 4 year old boy would ask, “Is it almost time for papa to come home?” Later, the other children came in from school, greeted me politely and went to their chores. The oldest daughter said, “I’m going to start some of Papa’s favorite muffins for supper,” as she headed for the kitchen. As the teacher got up to leave, Katrine asked, “Can’t you wait a small moment and meet papa?” By this time the teacher was very curious about this remarkable man who commanded such love and respect from all his family.

The shock of meeting Papa was almost too much for the teacher. Instead of a well-dressed man of brilliant speech, a small man, twisting nervously at his mustache and talking in the broken accent of his native tongue, greeted “the teacher of his “leetle Katrina.” For some time the teacher pondered the mystery of this man’s place in his home. Suddenly it dawned on her. It’s not who or what the father is personally, but the mother’s attitude toward him that makes all the difference. A husband can only take their proper place at the head of the house when wives respect and honor their wishes, thereby giving our children the desire to do likewise.

Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband. Want your children to respect your headship over them? Then respect your husband’s headship over you!

“Do It Yourself husband!”

In Gen 18:6 Abraham said to Sarah, “Make ready quickly, three measures of fine meal, knead it and make cakes.” Can you imagine Sarah answering, “Do it yourself”? This attitude would have been out of character for her because “Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord.” 1 Pet 3:6 A wife’s big test of faith is if she will submit to her husband when he is unreasonable and selfish, or when she knows she is being wrongs by his attitude. Jesus never asks us to do anything He has not already done Himself! Bible subjection never implies inferiority but rather strength!

10 Bible reasons why a wife must submit to her husband regardless of cullture

17 Aug

Hi, this is my new blog and in this blog we will discuss topics concerning marriage.

Today we hear at marriage statistics, they are amazing.  If you analyze them they have something in common, the reason for the people trying to save their relationship is crossing the boundries of each others role in marriage.  One of the roles in a marriage for a woman is submitting to her husband.

We have lost that respect to God´s Word, to His choice for us women.

We have to surrender our will to our creator and make our marriage work.  If we surrender that part of our existence all will function as he planned.  I know you will say it is very difficult and I am a free woman, it´s my life.

Just read this article I found, pray to your heavenly father, if you don´t know that father later I will tell you how to do it.

10 Bible reasons why a wife must submit to her husband regardless of culture

Culture has never been a factor as to whether a woman must submit to her husband in the Bible. Modern times of woman’s liberation are irrelevant. God gives us His reasons why women must submit to her husband.

10 Bible reasons why a wife must submit to her husband regardless of culture:

  1. Creation order: Man was created first, woman second. “For it was Adam who was first createdand then Eve. ” 1 Timothy 2:13
  2. Creation origin: Man and all creation was created by God directly out of dust, whereas woman was created through the man’s rib. “Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. ” Genesis 2:7 Woman is the only creature not made from dust. Woman derives her origin from Man. “The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. ” Genesis 2:22 “For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man” 1 Corinthians 11:8
  3. Creation purpose: Woman created for man: “for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.” 1 Corinthians 11:9
  4. Man named woman: Adam named the animals and was to rule over them. “Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. ” Genesis 2:19 “rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28 When Eve was brought to Adam, he named her, showing he was to rule over woman as well. “The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”” Genesis 2:23
  5. Delegation principle: God commanded directly to Adam alone. The prohibition to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, was made directly by God to Adam. Adam, in turn relayed what God said to Eve. Eve had not yet been created when God told Adam about the forbidden tree. Eve never actually heard God say this direct, but had to trust Adam’s word on the matter. “The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”” Genesis 2:16-18
  6. Woman sinned first: The devil tempted Eve and she, not the man, was first deceived. Because of this, man put Eve under the headship of Adam. “And it wasnot Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. ” 1 Timothy 2:14; “Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”” Genesis 3:1
  7. God rebuked Adam first after they ate the forbidden fruit: Although Eve was the logical person for God to rebuke first, God went to Adam, showing that God considered Adam the “head of the family” for both. “Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” ” Genesis 3:9
  8. Man is the glory of God, woman is the glory of man: “For a man is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.” 1 Corinthians 11:7
  9. Paul pointed Christians to the Mosaic Law that was 1500 earlier and a different culture: 1 Cor.14:34
  10. Peter pointed Christians to Sarah, 2000 years earlier and a very different culture: 1 Pet. 3:5-6.

Sometimes we, women, think that is our right to do what we want or think, but we are wrong.  If you read the Bible, we are here in this earth to serve and respect our husband. We can do many things, but with his support and guidance.

Sometimes we have a little bit of problem with this topic, but god can help us and let us be what He wants us to be.

God bless your life.
