The role of women in marriage

The woman is of great importance to the Christian home. With her is the responsibility of helping her husband and building her house according to God's will. Her role is much bigger and more significant than the woman herself thinks.

Paul compares the woman with the church (Eph 5:22,23), just as the church obeys her husband who is Christ, the woman has the same role in her home, in relation to her husband. A woman's submission is not in the dispute of who is stronger or more intelligent, but in the awareness of knowing what her duty is as a woman. And that her husband is a representative of Christ in his home. After all, we should be obedient to God because we love Him and not because we are afraid of Him.

The world distorts biblical words to diminish the importance of women, leading them to believe that they are inferior to men and therefore must prove their validity and competence, when in fact, Christ loved her so much that he gave his life for her and still does not. meaning of sex, treating both with the same significance and decency.

The Bible emphasizes the respect a woman should have for her husband, because a woman's respect is all a man wants. In fact, everything a Christian man does is to please God and have his wife's respect (Eph. 5:33).

Knowing this, the Christian woman's role in marriage is to take care of her home, respect her husband, be a friendly shoulder in times of distress, be the desired counselor when there are uncertainties of thoughts, be the wise woman when discernment is lacking and the firm structure on which your spouse and children can lean.

Woman, being submissive is being smart and not weak. To be submissive is to respect the limits established by God for your own good. Being submissive is not accepting abuse, but recognizing your value before the Creator!
