Marriage Help For Women
While thousands of books exist offering marriage help for women, there is one Book that far exceeds all others: the Holy Word of God. By reading and applying biblical principles for holy matrimony, women can experience lasting fulfillment and happiness. The key is to first of all, believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and secondly, to accept the fact that the institution of traditional marriage was ordained by God and meant not only to be monogamous but also last a lifetime.
Searching the scriptures and applying biblically-based marriage help for women gives Christian wives an advantage: they have the Word of God and faith. Diligently applying biblical instruction not only helps prevent marital infidelity but also promotes a mutual love and respect between spouses which fosters a nurturing family environment. While statistics indicate over half of all marriages in the United States fail; couples that adhere to specific rules of conduct are less likely to face the divorce court. The key to making marriage work is to work hard at keeping marriage Christ-centered. Scriptures offering marriage help for women can be found in I Corinthians, Ephesians, and the Book of Titus.
I Corinthians 7 deals specifically with marriage help for women wed to un-churched or unsaved men. Wives typically accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior prior to husbands after only a few years of matrimony. But, an unsaved husband may not only be reluctant to follow his wife to church, but also may take many, many years to finally say yes to God. The result is a house divided with the head of the household serving the devil and the saved wife striving to please both the husband and Godwith much tribulation! Unless the husband is physically abusive to the point that it is life-threatening, the saved wife is admonished to stay in the marriage, especially if the husband is willing to live in the same household: And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him (I Corinthians 7:10-13).
The Bible goes on to say that the unsaved husband is sanctified, or set apart, for his mate and that sanctification enables children born from the union to be holy in the sight of God: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy (I Corinthians 7:14). God expects the believer to dwell with a non-believing mate and entreat themas much as possible-- with the love of Jesus Christ. But He also allows the believer to be free of the marriage in cases of chronic physical abuse or spousal abandonment. Wives will discover that the Bible offers explicit marriage help for women who may be victims of domestic violence. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches (I Corinthians 7:15-17).
Ephesians, Chapter 5 offers excellent marriage help for women desiring to become more submissive. While it is far easier to submit to a believing husband who also is submissive to Christ, the Bible does not make this distinction: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing (Ephesians 5:22-24).
Similarly, husbands are admonished to love the wife as his own flesh: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: (Ephesians 5:25-29).
Finally, Titus, Chapter 2 offers the newly wed wife practical marriage help for women, ideally taught by older females. In a letter to Titus, a Gentile convert to whom the Apostle Paul had assigned the early New Testament church at Crete, Paul gives specific instructions for Christian wives, But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:. . . The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed (Titus 2:1; 3-5).
The above passages of scripture provide a wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and marriage help for women seeking to please God and experience the joy and fulfillment that only Christ-centered matrimony can offer.
