A Biblical Blueprint for Married Women
Not sure of what the bible says to wives? I’ve created this short little list to help you when you’re prioritizing and making decisions.
A Biblical Blueprint for Married Women
1. God
She puts God first in her life.
“You shall have no other gods before Me.” Exodus 20:3 “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.” Mark 12:30 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” John 14:15
2. Husband
A husband and wife are one flesh, therefore, the marital relationship is the most important ‘earthly’ relationship.
“And the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.” Mark 10:8
She is a helper to her husband.
“It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Genesis 2:18
She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:12
She is respectful.
Let the wife see that she respects her husband. Eph. 5:33
She is submissive.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Colossians 3:18
She is to be obedient to her husband. Titus 2:5
3. Children
She raises and trains up godly children.
“Didn’t the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. Malachi 2:15
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
She is to love her children.Titus 2:4
4. Home
She manages the affairs of her home.
She is to be a keeper at home. Titus 2:5
She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
5. Outside Ministries
She gives of her talents and gifts.
The older women are to be teachers of good things. Titus 2:3
She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. Proverbs 31:20
6. Enterprise
She is creative and capable.
She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. Proverbs 31:16
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. Proverbs 31:24
Are you wondering why a godly woman would align her life up like this? So the Word of God is not blasphemed. Titus 2:5
Live a poured out life for Christ,

I have been married before with two kids and my Mrs passed away. I remarried and have a beautiful baby girl. After the baby was born my wife stopped wanting sex and always tells me off no matte how much I try. I have tried explaining to her the importance of sex in our marriage but she does not believe it’s everything which I know. It might not be everything but according to me it strengthens a marriage. I do everything a good husband should do like even make her lunch, make her coffee every other day, iron her clothes and make the bed at times. I wash the dishes and cook for her. I do everything that I can do to make her happy but she still doesn’t want to have sex and says she doesn’t feel for it. I don’t know what to do anymore as I am frustrate and she doesn’t want to try. Please help cos I don’t have a solution. Sometimes I feel I should go elsewhere and sometimes I feel we should get divorced cos I feel she is ill treating me.
