    Who is a submissive wife?

     

    In order to answer the above question, firstly, let's have a look at what being a submissive wife is not. A submissive wife is not a dunce, not a doormat, not someone with a low IQ (Intelligence Quotient), not stupid and not timid. A submissive wife is someone that chooses to reverence and respect her husband and abide totally with a Christ like attitude by the final decisions of her husband and to obey with wisdom what her husband tells her to do. She is a kind of wife that chooses to obey the will of God.

     

    A lot of submissive wives are educated and are in positions of authority in their chosen fields. They complement their husbands and never act as their competitors. They are God-fearing women of God.

     

    Women that have chosen to adapt to their husband's leadership, chosen to fully obey the command of the Lord by being submissive in their marriages have not lost their sense of reasoning nor have they completely lost it but they simply have a full understanding of the word of God and they have simply followed the advice of Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 3:1-2 that says "In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives".

    What makes submission easy for a woman?

     

    Submission comes easily to a woman that fears the Lord in all her doings and understand His ways. This fear of the Lord can only be available through the study of His word i.e. The Bible. When a woman understands the fact that submission is God's express command, it makes it easy for her to submit to her husband's authority.

     

    At a recent launching I attended, Lionel Peterson,  a South African musician, said that when you truly understand the secret of submission you will  become very successful in all areas of your life and there will be anointing of God upon you. I was highly humbled by those words and it is perfectly true that when you agree to submitting yourself to your husband, your marriage starts to be successful. Submission is the co-partner of humility. You can only be submissive when you are humble. Humility needs to be part and parcel of your life. When you want to enjoy your marriage, you need to be humble and you need to associate yourself with people that will turn your life towards God. They will manifest the glory of God everyday of their lives through their words and in their marriage.

     

    Marriage according to God is His own institution and it is meant to be enjoyed and be joyful. So many people have had different experiences in their marital lives. Some are good and some are not. We also know of people that have been married for years. Recently, I heard of a couple that have been married for more than 70 years and they are still happily married. A good marriage may simply be defined as the joining together of two either different or similar individuals who fell in love and decided to live together in order to build a home together. But that is just a good marriage. You do not want just a good marriage, you want the BEST marriage and one way of achieving the best marriage is by being submissive. When you are submissive to your husband, he will shower you with love, clothe you with affection, pamper you with his loving words and your interests will be his top priority.

     

    Being submissive encompasses a lot of things. It is not an option; it is a must for you as a woman to be submissive to your husband. Even if you earn more than your spouse or happen to be the head of the department at your office, when you get home, your husband becomes the head of the home and you have to continually with love and respect place him in the position that the Lord has put him i.e. as the head of the house. The book of Ephesians 5:22-24 says that "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 submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything".  Submitting is a voluntary action you as the wife need to learn to do joyfully. You must not be forced nor coerced into submitting to your husband. Archbishop J.O. Akinfenwa says in his book, 'A True Christian Home', that submission means to submit yourself. In this wise, when your husband demands submission from you as a wife, it is no longer true submission; such a demand can become intimidating and oppressive and therefore unhealthy.
