In Elizabeth George’s book, “A Wife After God’s Own Heart,” she gives a recipe for a happy marriage, made up of 4 basic ingredients:
Help, Submit, Respect, & Love
Those are our roles as wife… ALL 4 of them are necessary in marriage! In fact, she gives a great acronym to help us remember our God-given roles toward our husband:
Warm up his life with your love
Improve his life as a helper
Follow his leadership with a willing heart
Esteem him highly with utmost respect
The letter F is often a difficult one for us as women… We like to be independent, stubborn… Pray with me DAILY for the willingness to submit to the leadership of our husbands.
