THE MOST IDEAL MARRAIGE

Eph.5:21-33

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the Church, his body, of which he is the saviour. Now as the church as submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything…….

Many women and men also, are not happy in their maritial relationships, and are constantly in search of personal and marital fulfilment. But God did not create us and put us on this earth to live an apathetic, frustrated, defeated or discouraged life. He meant you to be happier than you ever dreamt possible Psalms 139:13-18.

Marriage was designed by God to give the greatest human happiness possible. This relationship is described in the scripture . The wife is to be subject , submissive, and adapt herself to her own husband as a service to the Lord. Every man without exception is to love his wife as his very own self. The role of the wife in a marital relationship is the choice role. The wife is to be loved, protected, and cherished by her husband in the same way Christ gave Himself for believers. She is to repond to her husband’s love, protection, and leadership unconditionally. Submission does not imprison, it liberates you, giving you the freedom to be creative under the protection of divinely appointed authority.

The world has done an effective job of distorting the marriage relationship and its respective roles and naïve women often feels unfulfilled . She seeks fulfillment by trying to change her role through such means as feminism or the women’s emacipation movement. She follows such idealogies thus putting “the cart before the horse.” It can only lead one way catastrophe! Her unhappiness is as a result of her failure to understand and fulfil the role God designed for her.

There is a saying that, woman was created from man, not from his head to be commanded by him, not from his feet to be his slave. Rather , she was taken from his side to compliment him, near his arms to be protected by him, and close to his heart to be loved. This is a saying. Submission is to be total.

God wants the husband and wife to be one. The bible says you are one flesh. He wants you to be in agreement, at peace with each other. God wants you to have a strong, stable and beautiful marriage. It is not by accident that He brought the two of you together . god has a plan for your marriage. He has a specific purpose for your marriage, a reason for you and your mate to be together. The two of you together have a specific place and purpose in the Body of Christ in order to fulfil His plans. God established the home before He established the church, until our homes come together, untill our marriages thrives, the church and indeed the soceity is always going to be hurting Eccelesiastes 4:9-10.
