Today we’re going to close our mini-series on marriage by talking about responsibilities and roles of wives.
Last week, I had some hard words for husbands.
If you missed it, and you’re a husband, go back and listen to it.
This week, most of our time is going to be spent in 1 Peter 3:1-6 and Proverbs, which has some equally hard words for women as they seek to be good, God-honoring wives, so let’s look at five principles that we see in 1 Peter 3 for wives:
1. Submit to your Husband
This isn’t a suggestion.
Men lead their families, right?
You always want to work for oneness, but sometimes in marriage, you just don’t agree.
In that event, the husband has three choices.
Prayerfully wait for wife to come to agreement with him.
Appeal to a higher authority.
Pastor, biblical counselor, older married couple that both respect.
Make the decision.
Usually to get her to take better care of herself, but occasionally to remind my wife of the God-ordained authority structure of marriage.
Rebecca mom’s night out
Taking naps (preparing for my parents to arrive after Sophia was born)
2. Preach Wordless Sermons
Does the way you live your life, take care of your kids, take care of the house, honor God?
Does it preach the gospel to your husband?
Ask your husband if you do this.
Ask him what you could repent of and grow in to winsomely show the love of Jesus to your husband.
3. Cultivate True Beauty
Beauty is more than how you look.
It’s your character.
Peter calls this a quiet and gentle spirit.
This doesn’t mean that she never says a word, that she’s just a quiet woman under the thumb of a chauvinist.
But it does mean that she is someone who is meek, and gentle, and humble.
She has wisdom.
When she speaks, she knows who to speak to, what to say, how to speak, she has wisdom.
She’s wise, not just the foolish woman, the loud woman, the contentious woman, the combative woman, the contentious woman, she’s not the woman who Proverbs says is like a dripping faucet.
She has wisdom and prudence and humility, and godliness and appropriate, prudent speech.
Men need to listen to their wives, and it’s easier for men to listen to and hear their wives, when they are like that.
So, ladies, if you want your husband to listen to you, work on your tone and your character.
It will be easier for your husband to hear you.
That means they aren’t gossiping.
They aren’t talking about issues they have with other people behind their backs.
They aren’t bashing their husbands, especially in public.
They aren’t quarrelsome.
Maybe you know some of these kind of women.
But they’re not quarrelsome.
They just have strong opinions, right?
We call those men the pitch-a-tent club.
You see them in the camping section of Walmart buying a tent.
Not because they’re going camping, but because they’ve given up.
They’re going to put the ladder on the side of the house, climb up, pitch the tent on the roof of their house, then pull the ladder up.
Make sounds of dripping.
Four or five.
Going nuts yet?
50 years of that, you will be.
In some instances, that’s what is used for torture to break people and get information out of them.
That’s what the Bible says a quarrelsome wife is: torture.
Some women, “well, he just needs to know how I feel.”
He knows.
Just by looking at you, he knows.
The handgun gave it away.
There’s also the moody woman.
But that’s okay, she’s not moody, right?
She just has a bad day.... a lot.
She just has strong opinions and strong emotions.
Guy gets home, “which one do I get tonight?
Do I get the nice woman or the wicked witch?”
God says, it’s better to just start walking into the desert than to live in a house with her.
God’s like, “just go.” “Well, do I need any water or a tent or food?” “No.
Just start walking.
It’s all going to be better soon.”
Cultivate true beauty, not just physical beauty.
If you want to do that, study the Proverbs 31 woman.
This is a woman who has character, strength, competence, and ability, and they are hard to find.
It is an act of God’s grace to be able to find and marry a woman who is strong, feminine, competent, trustworthy.
God’s saying that if you have the choice to have a lot of money and this kind of woman, the choice should be obvious.She is priceless.
This is a woman you can trust with anything.
This is the key, ladies.
You want to be a good wife, memorize these verses.
She brings him good, not harm all the days of her life.
My wife brings me good, not harm.
There is no on I trust more than my wife, she’s very respectful, she follows my leadership, she gives me wise counsel, she serves diligently, she loves her children, she loves Jesus, she prays for me, she feeds our family with delicious and nutritious meals, she takes care of our health and well-being.
She brings me good, not harm.
And because of that, it is my privilege to love and care for her.
She is priceless.
My wife is irreplaceable.
By God’s grace, my wife brings me good, not harm.
Cultivate true beauty.
There’s much more to say on this, but for the sake of time, we’ll move on.
4. Seek Godly Women
Seek out godly, older women.
Read books by godly women.
Read biographies of women who did love the Lord.
Be that woman.
Titus 2 says older women should train younger women.
All of you are older than some women (not age, maturity), so don’t just look for the mentor, be the mentor.
She is an example because she was not perfect.
She made some tragic mistakes.
By the grace of God she made progress.
She laughed at God.
Some women hear that they are to submit to their husbands and they laugh at God.
“Wives, submit to your husbands” and some women reply, “Well, obviously, that will never happen.
Would you just look at him?”
You laugh at God.
5. Fight Fear
“My life will be miserable if I do that which is biblical.
