THE EXCEPTIONAL WIFE IS THE RESPONSIBLE WIFE

THE EXCEPTIONAL WIFE IS THE RESPONSIBLE WIFE

Proverbs 31:10-31

Introduction

People expect you to have weakness and come short in some areas, which makes you human, but when you excel where you are expected to fail then you become exceptional. When you produce result where people understand you should have no result, you are rated exceptional.

When you take advantage of God’s power, wisdom and mercy in those areas where you have lack in your nature, personality and temperament, you become an exceptional individual.

You can be an exceptional wife when you refuse to complain about what normal people complain about, when you solve problems that others leave for others, when you assume responsibilities where others push it on another.

What are your present complaints, dislikes and things that put you off concerning your home, to be precise – your husband? Do you know you can do something about it? Let’s have 3 examples.

How do you feel when your husband holds you responsible for something you feel you both or even ‘he’ alone should bear the brunt?

Do you feel – he’s asking for too much from you?

Do you feel he’s shacking his responsibilities?

Do you feel he’s unfair?

The key is hold yourself responsible before anyone does, and they won’t need trying to assume responsibilities where it is not needed, you only face embarrassment and pain, in the setting where they tell you in words or action, you are not needed, but where you are needed (though someone’s desire may not want you) you have no need to be afraid or hold anything back.

Assume responsibilities over these things in your husband’s life and your marriage will appreciate.

1. His life, future, dreams and destiny. Take it as if “if he fails, then you fail”. It means you’ll do anything right and Godly to see him lifted, improve, increase, make it. (Ascertain these two issues).

- He has a dream, future and destiny – that he is aware of.

- That the origin of it is God.

- Proper church/kingdom life and connections that God can use to get him ready for a higher place in the world.

If these two points are not in place, help him to connect to where he’ll get to know – church, Pastor!

The couple will live a vain life if the head is merely existing – living to eat, have no cause they are committed to.

2. What are the things your husband complain about you?

What areas of your operations has he shown displeasure?

Assume responsibilities to get rid of such, guess what? It makes his own life smoother! 1Cor. 11:9.

(You may feel what about those things I have complained about? That will come later, after you have done  your part as a seed, your harvest includes that) – John 12:24.

3. What areas of lack or need – physically have you noticed in his life? e.g. makes a lot of promise and forget it, too tied in the night to do important things e.t.c.

- Do you have ability in that area?

If yes, use it for him, lavish it on him.

If no, can you develop yourself in that area, solely for the purpose of helping him to succeed? Start now.

May the Lord depend on you.
