1. Be a Godly Wife

1 Peter 3:1-4

“In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.”

This scripture can be a hard one to read for some women. It states that above all, we shall be submissive to our husbands because that is what a Godly wife should do.

No matter the situation, let your behavior be proof of your love for God and your love for your husband.

2. Do No Evil

Proverbs 31:12

“She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

The relationship you have with your husband should only be that of love.
Most women find it hard to not nag their husbands because they don’t know what they’re actually doing to their relationship.

I can resonate with this subject quite a lot, actually. I used to ask my husband to do so many things and eventually he had enough.
We had a discussion about what was wrong with how we were handling our routine. To my surprise, the words I had said suddenly came more clear to him and I wasn’t having to ask for so much as often. A part of that was a realization for me as well. How he had felt about my reactions made me feel like he might eventually resent me. Who could blame him? I was pushing him to his limits!

So together we could make things better. I was much more conscious of how I was reacting and created a more timely way to do all those things that were not getting done. We alternate most of the daily tasks, like cooking dinner and packing our lunches for the next day.

I am much less stressed and he seems more happy too!

3. Love

1 Peter 4:8

“Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.”

Our love for our husbands should look much like the love God has for us.

How can you show your love to him?

Some days it might seem like it comes easily, but others may not be.

One thing that can help you show your husband you love him is by simply offering him words of affirmation.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

“Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

These words can be a lot different for everyone. Just take the time to really listen and know what he is interested in right now.

Next, I would suggest adoration. Showing your husband you love and respect him is very noble. Many men will portray themselves to be very hard on the outside, but truthfully, men love to be adored by their wives. Be sure to tell him just how handsome and wonderful he is. It means a lot to him!

The Importance of Being a Blessing to Your Husband

God commands that we honor our husbands. Where it is important for a healthy marriage, it is important for your relationship with God as-well!

Ephesians 6:7-8

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does,” 

Being a Godly wife to our husbands is actually us serving God.

The reward may not be immediate, but a reward that is eternal for our love for God.
