Lesson
12: The Disciple’ Marriage 4
(The Role of the Wife)
Main Text: Ephesians 5:22-33
Memory Verse: Eph. 5:24
Introduction
The word of God assigns the
following roles to a wife;
·
The wife submits to her husband (Eph 5:22-24). This
refers to “yielding in surrender, in compliance to one who is
in control of the other". Though the
wife is not inferior, God has made the man the head of the home and so the wife
submits to his headship in everything. But it’s crucial that
the wife remembers that she must not submit to her husband if she will disobey
God by doing so, as her relationship with Him is the most important (Deut 6:5).
·
The wife respects her husband (Eph 5:33).
·
The wife provides companionship
·
The wife cares for her home and family(Prov. 31:27-29).
