Can I Have A Model Marriage? –Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We started this topic yesterday. Let’s go further as we unravel the mystery behind having a model marriage.

1. Be supportive

The role of the wife is that of support. Support in what? Support in whatever and everything your husband is doing? In the small things as well as the big things, serious or not so serious things, relevant or not so relevant things.

It is difficult to say what is relevant to him or not because women and men are wired differently. That is why you need to make up your mind to be supportive in all areas.

This cannot be overemphasized. Our role is that of support. As a wife, you have to learn it, pray it into your life and ask for Grace to be a supportive wife.

You can give your support in very numerous ways. Be observant and sensitive you will know where to support your husband.

You may also have to ask him from time to time, how you can support him now because seasons in marriage change. So don’t be rigid. Support him with your finances. Don’t detach your support from your finances.

2. Be prayerful

As a wife, if you don’t pray for your husband, who or what do you then pray for? We should be praying for our husbands daily as top priority.

And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. – Luk 22: 40, 46

When you pray, you guide yourself from entering into unnecessary temptations. If your husband is anointed, he needs prayers. If he is not so anointed, he needs prayers. Whichever way you want to look at it, he just needs prayers.

He needs prayers to take the right decisions. He also has authority over you.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. – 1Ti 2:1-2

When we pray for our husbands, we are also praying for ourselves because only then can we live a peaceable and quiet life.
