SUBMITTING TO YOUR HUSBAND

(Message by Tanny Keng) 

1. Try this: 

a) Resolve all issues with clarity and understanding with your husband.

b) Submit to him for all the faults and weaknesses you can find. By the way, who says he has no faults and weaknesses! There is no perfect man in this world. This perfection will only happen when the Lord comes.

c) In this way, you are totally in alignment / obedience to God's Word. 

2. Scripture references: 

a) 1 Peter 3:1-6 

i) Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, ² when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. ³ Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— ⁴ rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. ⁵ For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. (1 Peter 3:1-6 NKJV)

b) Colossians 3:18

i) ¹⁸ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. (Colossians 3:18 NKJV)

c) Ephesians 5:22-24

i) ²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. ²⁴ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. (Ephesians 5:22-24 NKJV)
