THE “S” WORD In like manner, you married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives. **1 Peter 3:1 ********** For the sake of order, God instructed that wives be submissive to their husbands. Many women don’t like that particular “s” word, but think of it this way; you can’t have two people driving a car at the same time. However, it was never God’s intention that women be dominated and made to feel as if their opinions were of no value. Sad to say, many women perform the role of the spiritual head of the home. Some women need their men to rise up and be real men, and I believe that means to be a man who seeks God regularly and leads his family in righteousness and godliness. Many fine men are doing that, but many need to make progress in this area. I encourage you to pray for your husband, that he will indeed take his place as the spiritual head of your home. I also encourage you to let him do that without opposing him. Some women say they want their husbands to be the head of the home, but resist them when they try. Who is behind the wheel in your marriage? ********** Lord, Your counsel to me is always good. I embrace it, and I ask You to bring clarity as to how I live this out today. Amen.
