What can we married folks do to keep........................?

[chevonee]

...I aint mad at ya!...I just get coo-coo when people say GODS WAY and the scriptures arent right behind it!...There is this dude...oops...Preacher on TV  that always shoves Gods Way down your throat as if his scripture is the only one in the word!....and then Gods Way never interferes with his walk...only yours!...Makes me fume!

I gotcha...LOUD AND CLEAR

These are the scriptures that my husband and I study on a daily basis.. Ephesians 5:21-33 (Amplified version)

21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

22 Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord.

23 For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, Himself the Savior of [His] body.

24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

26 So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word,

27 That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].

28 Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

30 Because we are members (parts) of His body.

31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.(D)

32 This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning [the relation of] Christ and the church.

33 However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [[f]that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and [g]that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly]. [I Pet. 3:2.]

I've been away from this thread for a few days...
And I've read some posts....
Some I agree with....And some I don't...
But I will say this....
I was reading some of the views on the woman's role.
And how they should treat the husband.
I'll say this....
and this is only in some cases.

I think that SOME women....(Ladies of LGM don't kill me)
Emphasis on SOME....
They have forgotten the old way.
They have gotten so caught up in this modern way of thinking,
that they've forgotten how to be a good wife.
There's nothing wrong with being strong,
and having a career....and holding your own.

But never forget that you are a WIFE.
and that comes before anything, and everything.
I hear so many women say....
that grandma's way of being a wife doesn't work today.
But I think it works fine, if you know what a wife SHOULD be.

And being a wife does NOT mean you have to be a slave.
And a GOOD, God fearing man wouldn't want his wife to be a slave.

He just wants his wife to be willing to do anything for him.
Simply because that husband is willing to do ANYTHING for
his wife, to keep her happy.

A wife should know her place....
and before ya'll flip out on Ya man REDY.
A wife knowing her place...doesn't mean anything bad.
Because a husband should know his place also.

Why? It speaks to husband and wives submitting TO ONE ANOTHER. A factor that a LOT of couples miss too many times, sadly.

Exactly....
I hope everyone else got that.

I'm sure they did, bruhman.

Well...... actually, a husband shouldn't be submitting to his wife, a husband should be submitting to his Lord.  Biblically speaking, that is.

You get a TOTAL COSIGN from me, with a wave of the hankie on the part in red/bold.

Very good stuff, Redy.  You gets no fuss from ya sista!!!

The bottom line (if I may reiterate what you've already said so perfectly) is that God's order is that the wife should submit to her husband, and her husband should submit to God.  This is the way God set up marriage, and if we heed to His plan for marriage, we'd be a lot more successful in our marriages. 

Uriah wasn't altogether wrong, he just didn't take the time (as usual) to make his posts sound appealing to the masses.  The truth of the matter is that while it appears to us that he wants his wife to sit down and shut up, as long as Uriah is submitting to God, he is going to give her EVERYTHING she needs - physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, sexually, naturally, and completely.

I agree sis....

If you have a saved man...
He should be yielding to God's plan.
And as long as he's doing that,
He won't ask anything of his wife
that isn't in line with the word of God.

So if the wife has to take a submissive position.
That is in God's plan.
The problem is that some women hear "submissive",
and automatically think "servant".
Which brings about the "I ain't no slave" mentality.
And when women get that way....
You're out of the will of God.
But you're only a slave if your husband treats you that way.

But if you're Husband treats you as an equal.
Then you should honor him as YOUR head.

Don't look at me like that....
I'm in the Word.

Selfishness is forbidden and must be killed daily. Making your spouse feel like he is still the best thing since sliced cheese. And taking care of yourself so you can pour out to him.

This site would be boring if everyone posted in the same style...

All we'd have is some 2-liners, followed by a bunch of "cosigns" and "amens...."  Let FS be FS and let Redd be Redd.   

Now... for arguments' sake (if I may play devil's advocate), it's very hard to make your spouse feel like he's the best thing since sliced cheese if HE thinks he's the best thing since sliced cheese... LOL.  I submit that based on a recent experience I had with someone who, in my opinion, has a bit of an ego problem, which pushed me to (subconsciously, at first) remind him that he's NOT really all as perfect as he'd like to think he is... which is just plain toxic in a friendship/relationship/whatever...

No room for egos in ANY relationship.
