The Transformed Wife

Many people use the verse in Ephesians 5:21 to explain that husbands and wives are supposed to be mutually submissive. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. I have heard this from the pulpit, from books, blogs, speakers, and teaching preachers on the radio. My question is how can that work in marriage when wives are commanded to submit to their husbands multiple times and husbands are never directly commanded to submit to their wives? I decided…

During my thirty six years of married life, I have read many marriage books. Even when we had a difficult marriage, I would be searching and reading for answers to our marriage problems. Now, I understand clearly why most marriage books didn’t help me. There’s one I’m reading now and it is written by a woman but she writes to men, too. She explains a wife’s role and then a husband’s role in marriage. I am often told that I…

“Satan knows how to deceive her. She has a questioning spirit and a seducing spirit. ‘Hath God said…?’ (Genesis 3:1). There is confusion from women leaving their supportive role as a mother and seeking a career with devastating results.” These words were spoken by Denny Kenaston in his sermon “The Hidden Woman.” Women question God’s Word constantly. They don’t want to do God’s will for their lives so they listen to women preachers/teachers/bloggers/writers that tickle their ears. These female preachers…

Rice called The Home: Courtship, Marriage, and Children. He wrote an entire chapter about…

In December 2014, I heard of a popular “Christian” mommy blogger so I went to her blog to see what she had to say. The first post I read was about being unsubmissive to her husband and being proud of it. I wrote a blog post about it without naming her called Baby Needs to Be Put in a Corner! (I even used this post in my book.) After listening to a great sermon from her pastor, she did this:After…

Written By Dr. John R. Rice in 1948 Should a wife obey her husband? Should she be in subjection to him? Should she submit to him as if her were God, as a Christian should be toward Christ? Should a husband have authority over his wife as a master does over a servant? Should women even reverence their husbands as good women sometimes have done, obeying them and calling them lord? The Bible does command a woman to do all…

The most hated verse by women in the Bible seems to be “Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing” (Ephesians 5:24). You can’t teach this verse today without a lot of exceptions and qualifiers or women get all up in arms about it because of the word “everything.” The basic problem I see with this is that women falsely believe that when a wife submits to her…
