RESPECTING YOUR HUSBAND 7: WORK ON BEING THE BEST WIFE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Respecting Your Husband
a) And let the wife see that she respects her husband. That’s what Paul wrote in the second half of Ephesians 5:33. Respect is something that has diminished throughout the years. So many marriages begin well and end poorly because men and women are not properly trained in how to treat one another.
b) God has specific roles for the husband and the wife and when we stay within those roles we have happy marriages and good family lives. Respect is something that should be mutual between all members of the family.
c) Here is one of the helpful hints for wives on how to respect their husbands.

2. Respect Yourself; Work on Being The Best Wife
a) Being a wife doesn’t just happen. A woman was thankful that many years ago she had a group of very godly wives praying for her when she was a career-bound wife and mom. She believe to this day that they “prayed” her home! They were not perfect women, nor am she. The thing that she wants to encourage you in is that there are other women out there that have been where you are. They are the women who successfully manage a home and may even have a bushel of children that they are raising as well. Learn from them. Ask them how they do it. See if there is a lady’s Bible study group in your church that you can join. Get some Christian girlfriends if you haven’t already done that.
b) Above all, get daily in the Word. Pull your resources together so that you are able to have an organized time with the Lord each day. Personal Spiritual growth is essential for your relationship with God and ultimately with your husband. Redeem the time, spend time doing things that you know will please the Lord.

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Ephesians 5:15-16
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Colossians 4:5
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Titus 2:3-5
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
