Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
There are so many verses that I want to share with any woman who would like to read this blog but when I was searching the verses about wives to come up with a title for this blog, this statement stood out for sure. Stand fast to me. Don't let go of me husband! This is an amazing picture to me. It reminds me of the end of Proverbs 31 when she is praised at the city gates. I will talk about that over the next many posts but I have been blessed to have a man who has held fast to me. I am loved by my husband and I want to show others what it means to do your utmost best to become the model of a wife and mother laid out for us in scripture.
Over the course of this blog, I am going to look at passages to do with wives and blog about them. There are many verses that seem controversial today with how society sees woman, regarding equality and submission but I want to clear up the misconception about those. If not for you, for me, to study even more into scripture and become a more Godly wife for my husband to hold fast to and love deeply.
If you have a desire to allow Christ to transform your marriage to something you never thought it could be, please read along with me. Post comments, ask questions. I am not an older woman, but I do believe God has given me some wisdom in this area to share with other woman struggling and to encourage those who are not. My marriage almost ended in divorce several times over the first 4 years of it. Now I can say that that is an impossible statement in my life now with my husband. We have found a love for each other that we didn't even know was possible to have for another person. He is my man and I love him dearly.
