The purpose of this blog is to share who I am as a a believer with the world. In addition to my being a believer, I am a woman who is now married and I would like to share some of the truths about my life as a woman called to submission to both God and my husband. Though this journey is not always easy and I often find myself, struggling to trust both individuals...I also find beauty in knowing that outside of marriage I am a child of God and with God I am able to be that wife he has called me to be...In Ephesians 5:24-25, Paul takes a strong stance on the context of marriage. If it is not enough that Paul mentions this...make note that Jesus too speaks of marriage in Matthew 5. Other books are Malachi 2, 1 Corinthians 7
This truth is daily being pushed to the back by the world and sadly even some Christians. Many suppress the truth and encourage divorce, especially if it seems that it will benefit the parties involved. However, I've found that marriage is not all about us. Rather it is to glorify our maker...our King! It's a representation of the relationship between the church and Jesus Christ. And so to encourage someone to get a divorce is a false representation of the Church and Christ...it suggests that Jesus is fickle and one day can just pick up and change his mind and leave us. As for the woman it says that it is okay to break away from that true love granted by God. It even says that the man and woman that is married has chosen to break the vows that he or she made before God. Marriage is a three party covenant not two people. Therefore, with all of that said...I have decided to blog about some of my experiences as a wife and I pray that this page will assist those considering marriage, those that are married, stay at home wives, and even those that are divorced. May God speak to your heart.
