A Christian woman's role as a godly wife
(By Alexander Thomas)

A husband simply cannot meet all of his wife's needs. Only Christ can meet every essential need. As long as you look to your husband to meet your deepest needs you will be frustrated perpetually.

It is only in Jesus Christ than you will find true fulfillment. In talking to Him, in learning of Him, in walking with Him, you will find the satisfaction your heart is craving.

1 Submission - submit to the husband’s authority and leadership as her covering, with obedience - Ephesians 5:22
In everything - not only in what she chooses or likes - Eph 5:24
Submit to your husband as unto the Lord - Eph 5:21; Col 3:18
Rebellion towards your husband is equal to rebellion against God who gave him the authority to be your headship
Remain under his "covering of authority" by submitting to him
Not dominate, manipulate, control, nag, argue, criticize against his delegated God given authority
Wives, continue to love the Lord with all your heart and soul, with all your mind and strength just as you did before you were married, for it is only in Him that you will find the answer to the cry of your heart.

2. Reverence - respect - and honor to the husband - Eph 5:33
Do to him good all the days of the life - Pro 31:11-12
Honor him by accepting his leadership
Use words that honor him, not insult or depreciate him
Make his priorities your own priorities
Not to speak negatively about him to family members, and friends at privately or publicly
A husband simply cannot meet all of his wife's needs. Only Christ can meet every essential need.
Honor your husbands, wife, love your wives, husbands. That is the only way it works.

3. Godly character - behavior - chaste and respectful speech - 1 Pt 3:1-6
Use words that are helpful, and without reproach, along with good behavior - Titus 2:4-5, this is the ideal curriculum for a women's ministry.
Always rejoice in the Lord, and in the husband that he gave her
Think on things which are good, true, holy - Phil 4: 8
Do not deprive one another - 1 Corinthians 7:5
Wives are to win their husbands simply submitting to them, not preaching to them 1 Peter 3:1 - 2.

4. Support to her husband - a help meet as God's original plan- Gen 2:18
Helpmeet is a word used in the construction of buildings. The substance which is added around a column to strengthen it so it can support additional weight.
Uphold him in your daily prayer
Encourage him through her actions and her words
Raise her husband's self-esteem by delighting to spend time with him
Surround him with her love - with all her being: body, emotions, mind, spirit
Fulfill well her duties and responsibilities in the home.
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh is Hebrew idiom meaning exact counterpart - Genesis 2:23
