As a Wife, what is your purpose?

Good evening, I'm not real sure how many lessons this will go, but as you may be thinking, she was reading another book :) Yes, I was, actually 2 books and between the 2 I want to touch on what our purpose is as a wife. You may say, but I know, I'm suppose to be here for my husband, take care of the home, take care of the children, or maybe you believe your purpose is to work out of the home, to bring in money to the home. Whatever you believe is your purpose, we are going to look into the Biblical purpose of wife.

I thought for fun I would through in this picture. This was mine and Bill's 15th wedding anniversary and I love the little sign at our feet. "Still Hitched"  I'm happy to say that Aug 24th we will be "hitched" for 20 yrs!! You know my purpose as a wife hasn't always been easy to go through with. My desire has/is to be the wife I was meant to be; To be God's ideal woman as my husbands wife; to do what God gives as a Wife's purpose. In the next day or so I will go over things that maybe you and yes I, didn't realize was part of our purpose. If you have followed any of my devo's in the past months. Let me say, One of the things that not only the books say, but the Bible and God says, Read your Bible daily, Pray without ceasing, Stay close to the Lord these are important in EVERY part of our marriages, and lives. You may not be a wife or a mom but I believe as if you will still read these post and if you will apply them to your life as a single person, or as one who could have children that you will learn and be able to apply these things to your life when the time comes.

Two of the books that I will be referring to off an on are:

God's Ideal Woman Written by Clifford Lewis

A Wife's Purpose Written by Cindy Schaap    I highly recommend both of these books to help your growth as a lady, wife and/or mom.

Genesis 2:18 "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

This is you and I! We were created to complete man.

"A wife's purpose is to meet her husbands needs by helping him!"

We will be looking at the ways we can help him and how we can fulfill our purpose!

Ephesians talks of how we are to submit to our husband. We will be looking into that and prayerfully answer some questions that maybe out there. In today's world the woman submitting to her husband is almost unheard of. We want as Christians to let it be known that it's not a "I have to submit" but rather "I get to submit" or maybe I submit why? "I want to" Or "I submit to my husband because God says I should and I want to obey God" So many ways people look at it.

Well, my friends it's late and I am looking forward doing this study. My prayer is that someone will see the need to submit and to follow her husband.
