What makes you a good wife?

[Ariel82]

wow the op started both this thread and one asking the same of men at the same time. this thread has 90 views 17 replies. the one on men has 26 views and 0 responses..... kind of speaks loudly... not sure i want to hear what that is shouting....

more replies = more views because it gets brought back up to the top more.

it also says to me that most men either are bashful and don't want to look to be bragging.

or they have a poor esteem of their wonderfulness and that is why they rely on their good wives to remind them what wonderful people they are.

The world wears away and tries to crush the spirits of God's children, but we have to encourage one another to be that light that points people to Him and His ways. we have to be the living waters to give refreshing drinks to those perishing from thirst.

Hopefully some of the wonderful men who visit the forums will post something but I think you would get more responses if you ask someone

"What makes your wife/husband a good wife/husband?" Or why do you still love your wife or husband? Or what made you fall in love with your spouse in the first place?

sorry, rambling again.

What makes a good and Godly Wife. I believe that is a woman of God who is living her life according to the Word of God the Bible in every possible way. She is also a woman who is submissive to her husband and allows him to be the head of their home. Living in submission to her husband does not give him the right or authority to treat her as a doormat or maid but to treat her as his bride just like Christ treats his church which is his bride. A Godly man is a man whose life is rooted on the Word of God in every way. Yes we all have our off days and times but we should be there for one another (our spouse) and give them the support and love that have for them. We also have times that are filled with laughter and happiness we should together enjoy those times as well as remember to keep the romance that brought us together as a couple alive which is a effort that both husband and and wife needs to make. Which may mean leaving the kids with a trusted babysitter. Go for it and have some fun.

I make eye contact, face him, listen, and respond when my husband speaks.

I agree it is easier to analyze our spouse, but I intentionally worded the questions this way, because it is important for us to know what we give our spouse and be comfortable to share. Who knows, someone reading may learn something or may be more intentional in their mannerisms and actions.

I will have to admit, I was hoping to hear specifics from men and women. I feel we can all generalize.
Anyways, cannot wait to hear more responses!

so everyone refers to proverbs 31 as the chapter for a virtuous wife.
Is there a paticular chapter for a Godly husband?

[h=3]Ephesians 5:25[/h]English Standard Version (ESV)


[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
We know this is a really awesome responsibility for a husband ~ We are aware
how the Lord loves the Church, golly, do you think it is possible for any man to live
up to that command ? ~ I think you will make a wonderful husband because you
are seeking scripture to guide you. ~

May I say something here about the Prov. 31 woman? I find that the most difficult
scripture to follow. I would love to have my children rise up and call me blessed, but
I doubt I will hear those words. As for the woman rising early to keep her household
fed, and she works and sells her wares, etc.... I suppose it is easier for some women
to be like this Prov. woman. God bless every woman who gives her best to her family.

Love your topic. ~

Ephesians 5:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her [SUP]26 [/SUP]to make her holy, cleansing[SUP][a][/SUP] her by the washing with water through the word, [SUP]27 [/SUP]and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. [SUP]28 [/SUP]In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. [SUP]29 [/SUP]After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— [SUP]30 [/SUP]for we are members of his body. [SUP]31 [/SUP]“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[SUP][b][/SUP] [SUP]32 [/SUP]This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. [SUP]33 [/SUP]However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Very nice replies and I agree with your replies.
If one is to be wife.
Being thoughtful, conciderate , supportive , understanding, caring and possibly even funny some times so he may laugh and giggle a bit. :0


One may massage and give hand and foot care treatments , make dinners, show love and affection with out being overly annoying and being some what intune for when he needs space.
"go away annoying wife I need to ho hm breath a while" no more cuddles stop stop stop now..


With the right husband it can work beautifully to be as according to scriptures as a good wife and even allow he to be the leader and head of house can work wonderfully.


It is good if one establishes a flow ,coexistence and know each other so well and just fit well.
Understanding or trying to understand ones husband is important and that he knows you are always there for him.

Agree cooking dinner and or making lunches is sweet and often appreciated.
Unless one is a bad cook. lol. "please dont make lunch for me. I will buy something out".


Intimacy .
Union.
affection yet space and even "air" .

So many things make a good wife.


Then there is the romantic life and the love making (sex life) which may be wonderful way of being loving good wife as well ofering a haven for husband to relax, explore, and play and release and let go and even have fun.

Blessed be beautiful good wives.
and even if you are somewhat horrid wife sometimes you can repent and ackknowledge your fault as he may do his flaws and then you can improve and correct your horridness.
Maybe you were in lot pressure whatever reasons for your badness be you can repent and correct.

prayer, good communication with him

 

[deelove]

I take time before i discuss any irritating issue that concerns either of us

 

[RedTent]

A good wife is one with her husband, the two work together. I don't think there can be a truly good wife without a good husband, or she has to simply drag a poor member of a team along.
