READ: Titus 2:4-5

“Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house…” – Psalm 128:3

Eve was created to be Adam’s helper. A married woman must aim to help, project, motivate, uplift and promote her husband.

It is very important for a wife to love her husband, otherwise it will be very difficult to perform the marital responsibilities of submission, sex etc. and generally, to do what God’s Word teaches her to do as a Christian spouse. The Bible teaches clearly that wives should submit to their husbands. Christian wives will do well to obey this Scripture (1 Peter 3:1-3).

Every wife has a God-given duty to satisfy the sexual needs of her husband. Usually, the need to have sex is greater for a man than for a woman, and many wives find their husbands’ persistent advances for sex a bother. A wife should know and understand that if she does not take care of her husband’s sexual needs, she may push him to seek fulfilment elsewhere and this will lead to a lot of heartache and pain.

Food is also another thing, which is very important to a man. It is the duty of a wife to produce nice, tasty meals for her husband and the rest of the household. She must introduce a lot of variety in the food she prepares and be very innovative.

Finally, a good wife should provide nice, supportive company and friendship. She should chat with her husband when he is quiet, and encourage him when he is downhearted.

These simple acts help to strengthen the friendship and companionship in the marriage.
