Submitting To One Another

The Holy Bible, in Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 21, enjoins us to be submissive to one another. I believe so much in the authority ofthe man in the home, while I also believe this very verse that asks usto submit to one another. When we are submissive to one another in our homes, certain issues will nevercome up.
The meaning of that word in the Holy Scriptures, “submitting to one another” is that your body ceases to be yours the very momentyou become a husband or a wife. In this case, you have no right to do whatever you want to do to that body withoutthe consent and approval of your spouse.
I see women go for some kind of surgery without the consent of the man. If you are doing it for that man whose glory you are, you will first of all be sure he is happy with it.You will not bring your hair to the front when he likes you having it at the back. If you are his glory, you will not dress the way your pastor wants you to dress, but the way your husband wants. Your pastor’s wife or your biological mother has noright to tell you what towear and how to wear it, they can do that onlywhen you are doing it wrongly.
Stop copying her style of dressing, stop the regular use of head tie just because your leader wants it that way; dress and tie your hair because your husband, who is the priest in your home, wants it that way.
Men are not free from this; if your wife wantsyou to wear a brown shirt today and you decide to go for red, youare going against the word of God because since you take her in as yours, you have becomehers too. Your dressing and looks must be solely for her. She is notsupposed to control you, but in a way, she should have control overyou.
Marriage is a partnership and you cannever get up and do things without first getting the approval of your partner. Stop trying to hide things from her and letting herknow just a little about you. Sir, your wife must know what you are worth. Read more bit.ly/qPCobT
