Now knowing the differences between society's perspective of a marriage and a Christian's perspective of marriage covered in part 1, there's still the fact that couples still struggle. A key aspect to remember though is that no marriage will ever be perfect. However, that doesn't mean marriages should still suffer. Having said that, the only way a marriage will thrive is not only like I discussed in last episode that Jesus needs to be in the center, but also that each spouse has a specific role to fulfill.

In today's message, I'm going to address Ephesians 5:22-24 where Paul gives a short and sweet message to the wives as far as what our expectations look like that can no doubt ruffle some feathers. But take note that just because he has a heavy emphasis on one word, does not mean we only have one job, or one thing to be concerned about, as we actually have several. While that seems contradictory, what we're to take away is that all of what's expected from the wives falls under the same category of that one word heavily emphasized. But the overall point is how these various duties show how we're to be complimentary to the husband, not oppressed by him.

Please note that this is my personal interpretation of the scripture to the best of my current knowledge and understanding. I encourage anyone to please check and verify as the scripture encourages believers to do so. There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.
