A Wife from the Bibilical Understanding.

*Her origin*

She came from God through man. God created Eve after creating Adam. By the time Eve was coming into focus, Adam had interacted with God's creation. God intended to have Adam as the only one that looked like Him.  It was after He saw Adam was lonely that He created Eve.  For Eve to be created Adam needed to be put to sleep because one of his ribs was to be taken and given to Eve.  Who came from the other? 🤷🏾‍♀🤔

*Welcome Wife*

When Eve was created, Adam was impressed he had a companion. He was no longer lonely. Since he had arrived before her,  I am sure he gave Eve a good orientation. Then what happened? Eve was to be Adam's companion. While Adam was away, Eve got to be a companion to the serpent.  As a wife, when your husband is away, whose companion are you? How do you keep yourself busy?

*Wife's power* 

Wives need to realise that though the man came first, they have the gift of influence over him. She therefore has a way of convincing him to draw to God or devil. It had never occurred to Adam that he could eat the fruit until Eve convinced him. As a wife what are you convincing your husband to do? Are you pushing him to God or devil?

*The curse to the wife*

After the two had eaten the forbidden fruit, God cursed them. The woman is to have desire only towards her husband and he is to rule over her. She is also to experience pain during labour. As a woman, are you allowing your husband to rule over you? God made him your leader, do you respect his authority?

God's way

The book of Genesis is clear. A man and woman shall leave their parents and become one. As a wife have you left your parents? Are you still leaking information about your family to your parents?

*Beyond creation Story Lessons from Wives in the Bible*

What did the former queen do to her king for Esther to be crowned queen? Are we that wife who is called to attend to her husband but behaves like that queen and disgraces her husband? Who shall be blamed when an Esther who knows how to treat her king is found? Read the story there's  a lot to learn how a wife is replaced by a mistress.

Esther has valuable lessons for wives. When she knew her king had discovered her origin, What did she do? How did her king always find her? Does your husband come home to find you in rags?When you want your husband to attend to a pressing need, do you take time to prepare like Esther?

Bathsheba (David's wife), when she needed her son to be anointed next king what did she do? When Samuel heard about Absalom, he talked to Bathsheba to go before him. He had confidence in the relationship she had with king David. Do people have confidence in the relationship between you and your husband? Can you be trusted  to relay  information in a manner to calm your husband?

Looking at the mother of Jesus. The angel of God told Joseph about his bride to be and he went ahead to marry her. God may have spoken to Joseph but do you think that is all it took? How many men had God spoken to and didn't heed to the call? He deeply understood his wife to be and trusted her. As a wife does your husband fully trust you? Would he stand by you when you are placed in a compromising situation?

Read Songs of Solomon. That is purely for a wife to understand how she is to treat her husband and please him in bed. Yes sex is Godly. Don't deny him unless you have agreed and are fasting. As a wife you need to be prepared. Learn from Esther and Songs of Solomon. You shall know what to do.

Remember submit to your husband as the church submits to Christ. How do you talk or go to God? Do you do the same with your husband?

If wives are going to be better wives to their husbands they need to deeply understand the Bible. There are many lessons the wives in the Bible teach us. Take time to read and learn from them.

*Be blessed*
