The Wife's Role
- A godly wife embraces and pursues her call to be pleasing.
- A pleasing wife gives her husband what he wants, instead
of what he wants to give him.
- If you manipulate to get what you want, you lose the
intimacy you crave.
- Choose to excel at what other women refuse to become.
- A pleasing
wife strives to understand her husband’s logic.
- Never allow personal desires to take preeminence over
those of the one you are called to
serve.
- Respect is the master key to the heart of the one you
love.
- Whatever you respect moves toward you, and whatever you
disrespect ultimately exists
your life.
- A sensitive woman recognizes the importance of being an
affectionate wife.
- Even the most beautiful woman becomes ugly the moment she
neglects the “matters of
the
heart”.
