Wives
They say marriage is three rings: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering
Rod Stewart once said, “Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house.”
Following theme of v. 21
Everyone to submit to each other, and wives submit to your husbands
We’re ALL called to submit!
Not just wives to husbands...
“All Christians submit to each other, and how much more should wives submit to their husbands!”
Sometimes it’s harder to submit to spouses - long term GF/BF
First met vs. together for awhile… things start to bother you!
Things start to bother you!
Paul, understanding it’s hard for wives to submit, tells them to do so
Year one, man speaks, woman listens.
Year two, woman speaks, man listens.
Year ten, both speak, neighbors listen.
What Submission IS:
Let’s define “submit”
Greek - hypotasso: to be put in subjection to (your husband)
1.
It IS self surrender
Wait, I have to think of myself as less than my husband?
YES!!
We should always be concerned for others as higher than yourself!
Why wouldn’t you put your husband there?
Why wouldn’t you think of him as higher than others?
Marriage is not a place for each person to take what they want
It’s a place to give the other what they need
If BOTH are doing that, you will also get what you want!
2. It IS about trust
Submission takes trust
I must submit to Matt - he is my boss
When he tells me to do something, I trust he has the best interest of the church (and me) at heart
If I didn’t trust Matt, I would leave
3. It IS your responsibility
Who picks your husband?
YOU!
This is why it is important to pick the right one!
If he’s bad, YOU are responsible for picking the wrong guy!
That means you are empowered to choose!
This is the guy you should trust to lead you
When you date, ask “Could this be the person I want to lead me and my kids?”
What Submission is NOT:
We defined what submission IS, let’s define what it IS NOT:
1.
It is NOT inferiority!
I am under the policeman’s authority
Doesn’t mean he has more value or importance - just authority
2. It is NOT slavery
This is not about fulfilling every desire for a man you hate
It is about respecting someone who deserves it
Respect should be earned, but it should also be given
3.
It is NOT for everyone
For Christians, and for wives
Doesn’t mean women can’t be doctors, politicians, business owners or supervisors
3. It IS about the marriage!
It’s about your MARRIAGE
If you are his boss at work, be his boss!
But in marriage, it’s designed differently...
Is the idea of submitting to your husband hard for you ladies?
Means that women will desire to rule over their husbands, and men must fight for it
They say marriage is a man losing his “bachelor’s” degree and a woman getter her “master’s”
That is a result of sin
Often, women want things done a certain way.
Men don’t care about it at all
Women want control, men want to be left alone --- that’s sin!
Ladies, do you want control?
What do you think about this list (Ten Commandments)
No female friends
No social media
No make friends with partners.
Must be single males only.
Must work minimum 50 hours a week
No smoking
Can drink but only 2 times a year or less and not get drunk
No playstation/game machines
No porn
Must keep house clean at all times
No going out without me
I wonder if he gets to make rules for her...
No shopping
Must have dinner ready by 5:30 every night
Must keep hair shoulder length or longer
Must play sports
No pajamas until 8:00p, must change by 9:00a
Must wear makeup daily
Sound fair?
Here’s why God did that:
Eph 5:25
Notice that this instruction is longer - probably because He knows the woman’s job is tough
eph 5:25-
Notice that this instruction is longer - probably because He knows the woman’s job is tough
So He explains the reasons why in detail
1. It’s about your relationship with God
Notice “as to the Lord”
Doesn’t mean “just like you do with God,” means “do this for God”
2. It’s about letting him do his job
He is the head, he cannot be that with your submission
If you block him, you are going against God
3. It’s a picture of the Church
Marriage is an opportunity to mirror God’s design for all of us
If the woman is leading, it’s like man leading instead of Jesus
