Wife's Roles

God has been teaching me so much about the role of a wife. Thankfully this is early in our marriage where I can practice and haven't developed habits yet. One of the things He keeps bringing to me over and over through various people, books, and His Word is that the man is the leader of the home. This is how God created them to be. My job is to encourage, pray, and be Ryan's helpmate. I know, I know, it sounds so ancient doesn't it, but I personally want the best marriage I can have and I know deep down this is the key. When I am praying for Ryan and encouraging him our relationship is better. When I'm nagging or handling things myself instead of discussing with him there is conflict. I'm issuing a challenge. Start praying for your husband. Pray that he will have confidence and a hunger for God. Pray that he will feel the responsibility of the leader of the home and strive to be the best leader/husband he can. Pray that inspite of all the attacks on marriages and family there are today that he rises above that.
