Biblical Duties of Wives

If a wife is to be obedient to God, she must first understand her God-given role in society and the family. In our post-Christian culture with its rejection of divine revelation and ethical absolutes, women have become increasingly misguided. The God-given urge for family and children still exists. However, this creational reality is sublimated to an autonomous, sinful, hedonistic, selfish view of life. Many pagan women put off marriage and children into the distant future to concentrate on careers, fun, and sexual fulfillment. Even marriage itself has been redefined in a pagan manner. Marriage is no longer seen as a glorious God-ordained method of serving Christ's kingdom. It is now viewed as a purely human institution that is convenient for increasing romance and/or one's own selfish needs. When the relationship is no longer "romantic" or "fulfilling", one's partner is cast aside even though the children involved in a divorce will suffer for many years, perhaps for a lifetime.
