Husband Is Instructed To Love Wife and Wife Instructed To Submit

This article is written for Christian marriages. God established marriage and God designed marriage and marriage was created for God’s purpose.  We ought to manage our marriage His way, don’t you think?

A Christian Marriage Must Have God at the Forefront!

If you want to have a happy marriage then don’t treat your marriage like everyone else does. Love in society is not the same kind of love that Jesus taught! If a husband doesn’t love his wife properly, in the ways taught by Christ, she in turn will not love (submit to) her husband.

Societies view of love has turned marriage upside down. This is the basis for most, if not all, marriage problems. A Christian marriage must be managed with God at the forefront! We must go back to the teachings of Christ on what love is and then base our marriage on that kind of love.

True Christians should not be a part of the worldly culture of society because they bring the rebellious views back into their own lives. This is where all of the confusion on the submission thing has gone awry within the Christian community. Even some of the Christian churches have got it wrong and this in turn makes everyone blind to the truth.

How Is A Husband Instructed To Love His Wife?

The bible explains in great detail how a man is to love his wife. His wife should be of prime importance to him, over his career, his children, his hobbies, his friends, and himself. A Christ led man will put his wife first over himself. This is how a husband is to love his wife.

“So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.” (Ephesians 5:28)

What kind of a husband would have a hard time loving his wife in the way Christ instructs him to? A husband who needs inner healing, has not acknowledged Jesus Christ, and is not filled with the Spirit of Christ.

Jesus says that a man who loves himself will love his wife. What kind of a man loveth himself? A man who loves himself has subjected himself to Christ, and acknowledged Jesus Christ as his Savior. He is a man that is filled with the Spirit of Christ. This kind of man has made his wife the queen in his home because he is overflowing with Christ’s love and blessings.

When a man loves his wife, in the ways taught by Christ she will not have a problem submitting to his headship position. Do you see how that works? The bible instructs wives to be subject to their husbands as the church (true worshipers) is subject to Jesus Christ. God knows who the true worshipers are. God knows our hearts and minds better than we do. (John 4:23-24)

How Is A Wife Instructed To Submit?

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ so let the wives be to their own husbands, in everything.”  (Ephesians 5:24)

This verse can stir up confusion. There are many churches that are not subject to Jesus Christ, even Christian churches. So what is “the church”? The church is not a church building. God’s true worshipers are “the church”. They are those who worship in Spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

The church is within you. The church is in your heart and in your mind.  Every day you take the church with you, wherever you go, so make sure you are being a good example for Christ. You’re working for Christ in your marriage, at your job, with your friends, and in your lifestyle. Are you being a good example?

If we profess to be Christ Ones than we are subject to Jesus Christ and His instruction.  Christian husbands who want to have a blessed marriage are subject unto Christ first and foremost! There is no other way! If a husband subjects his own life to Christ then he will love his wife properly, in the ways taught by Christ, and the wife will submit (love) to her husband. It works both ways!

God’s design, purpose, and husband and wife roles for marriage won’t work if the Christian husband is not participating. The wife will feel like a doormat, just like what is often referred to as what submission is today in society. NOT!  Submission is not being a doormat. Submission is loving God with all of your heart, mind, and soul. In return Christ blesses you with the freedom to love your spouse properly.

A Christian man who puts God first loves himself and loves his wife. And a Christian woman who puts God first will love herself and will be free to submit to her husband. If you are not loving your spouse in the proper ways now, maybe you ought to review your faith and ask Christ to help you with freeing the demons within you and healing your soul.

“Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it.”  (Ephesians 5:25) Bottom line is Jesus suffered and died for our sins and that is the way Christ wants a husband to love his wife.

“Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. (Ephesians 5:33)

Kids Party Themes Your Boys Will Love

With so many kids party themes to choose from, you can plan a party that will keep guests happy and entertained.

Boys of every age crave excitement and seek adventure. They are boisterous, rambunctious, and even mischievous. So, rather than being overwhelmed with a house full of wild, uncontrolled noise, why not let your boys use their superhero energy to save the universe, test their pirate bravery on the dangerous high seas, or harness their power for an adventurous space mission?

Choosing a theme will not only give your party direction and make planning easier, but it will allow you to create an adventure, plan an expedition, or transform your home into an unknown world of mystery and intrigue.

Safari Exploration

Take your guests on a wild trip through the jungle where they can battle tangled vines and blazing sun while tracking untamed lions or unsuspecting elephants. Give each explorer a pith helmet, binoculars, canteen, and even a butterfly net. Decorate your venue with green streamers, ferns, rubber snakes, spiders, and lots of real or artificial large plants or trees. Use stuffed animals, animal cutouts, or for a little real life adventure, give some of the boys masks and allow them to play the part of jungle beasts. For authenticity, find a cd of animal or jungle sounds to play in the background. When your animals and explorers grow hungry, have them stop for a rest at the “oasis” where they can munch on tropical treats and jungle delights.

Space Adventure

Invite your little astronauts aboard your spaceship with invitations written on plastic rockets or Mars candy bars. Create planets from Styrofoam balls, hang glow in the dark stars around the room, and add to the outer space look with lots of black and silver helium balloons. Have your guests paint moon rocks or design spaceships, awarding prizes for the most creative. Play a game of glow-in-the-dark Frisbee and then float on over to the space station where the hungry boys can snack on neon space punch and authentic astronaut food. Add a little alien mystery by having guests dress as creatures from other planets and see who can correctly guess everyone’s homeland.

Superhero Convention

What boy doesn’t want to be a hero for a day? For the invitation, use a picture of the guest of honor wearing the costume of his favorite superhero, or send each guest a card of a different superhero, asking them to attend the party dressed as their designated character. As a unique twist, have each boy create and name his own superhero. Make table coverings from comic book pages or comic strips, tie large capes around chairs and mini capes around water and soda bottles. Paint rocks kryptonite green and send your boys on a ‘save Superman’ adventure, or host superhero races, tug-of-war competitions, and strength testing arm wrestling contests. Allow guests to create their own comic strips or film a superhero movie.

Pirate Cove

Begin the anticipation with a treasure map invitation in a bottle so the boys have plenty of time to brush up on their pirating skills. Give each buccaneer an eye patch, telescope, and even a pirate hook. Decorate with jolly roger flags, pirate balloons, skeletons, skulls, and treasure chests filled with chocolate gold coins and trinkets. Serve food in small treasure chests, have a treasure hunt, or play capture the flag. If you can find several large boxes, have your pirates design their own ship and award a prize to the best builder.

Go West Cowboy

Take a trip back in time to the wild, wild west, where a man survived by his brawn, his strength, and his sharp shooting ability. Create wanted posters or attach invites to metal sheriff badges. Hang ropes, horse pictures, cactus cutouts, and if possible, shutter doors at the entrance. Add a few bales of hay and cover tables with red and white checkered tablecloths. Play horseshoes, rent a horse or pony, and have a roping contest or tin can shoot out using squirt guns. Of course, no cowboy adventure would be complete without a campfire and some authentic trail food such as beans and hotdogs.

Sports Camp

Invite guests to the ultimate competition where they can test their sports skills and prove that they are worthy of the championship trophy. Wrap the party particulars around a bottle of Gatorade or a Powerbar, or write the invitation on a baseball, mini bat, small sponge football, or mini basketball. Decorate with team pennants, sports posters, and jerseys. Serve food in helmets or caps, and use trading cards as prizes. Have all the guests sign balls or pennants so each boy can take a special memento home. A simple green tablecloth can be transformed into a football field, food stations can be set up at home plate, and bushel baskets can be used to create interesting basketball variations. Teams of the boys’ chosen sport can compete against each other, accumulating points for the post season triumph.

Great parties begin with great kids party themes, so choose an idea that your boys will love and let the planning begin!

I have noticed that my dog would occasionally walk to our bathroom and then whimper quietly. He is 100% potty trained and usually paws/whimpers at the back door when he has to go. He doesn’t love baths but doesn’t fidget like other dogs during dog baths. The only times he is in the bathroom is when there is hot weather. Occasionally he sleeps on the floor mat in there too. Maybe once or twice he hid there when he knew he was in trouble.

But why would he voluntarily go to the bathroom and give out a soft whimper?Is he just trying to get our attention?

Make An Aries Man Love You

Bad news for good girls – Your Aries man might not be the perfect fit for you. While you want a devoted and serious relationship, an Aries will choose a casual one. He likes being hooked up with someone without any serious commitment. This casual relationship gives him an adventurous feeling and challenge.

As an Aries has a constant need for more adventure, he will find that an ordinary relationship is boring. You will need to be extremely creative and store a lot of energy in order to preserve your relationship and fill it with fun and new experience. Once you fail, he will just easily move on to another girl in order to find new adventure. This doesn’t mean that he is not interested in love, he feels that his need for a new experience is greater than his interest of love.

In every situation, let your Aries take the lead. He wants to lead in all situations. Not only in your relationship, he will be very happy if he can also be a leader in his professional and social life. Trapped in this “male dominated” relationship can make you feel as if you are only a doormat. If you don’t like being a doormat, don’t just keep silent. You can do something about it. Find a way that will not make your man feel as if you are passive, speak up. This will help you both to keep your relationship exciting.

It is true that an Aries needs challenge. Speaking up your mind, in the right way will challenge him. You don’t have to get in an irritating argumentation with an Aries, but don’t be afraid to challenge him either. When you finally find the right way to handle an Aries, he is yours.

Buy Welsh Flag And Welsh Flag Clothing: Express Your Love & Admiration For Wales

The Welsh Flag or the national flag of Wales consists of two horizontal halves – the white top half and the bottom green half. In the center of the Welsh flag lays a red dragon. Considered by most as the oldest national flag, the origin, meaning, and significance of the Welsh flag is surrounded with legends, myths, and rumours.

While some believe that the green and white strips of the Welsh Flag were added by the House of Tudor, the Welsh dynasty that ruled the English throne from 1485 to 1603. It is said that the dragon on the Welsh Flag represents Henry Tudor’s claim to be a true representative of the ancient kings of Britain and the dragon banner served as his tribute to the Welsh people who had made his victory possible.

The other likely theory is that the Romans took the dragon emblem with them during their occupation of Britain. Despite all contradictions and debates, the Welsh Flag continues to be a symbol of national independence and victory and has often been used by great literary scholars, poets, and writers in their works to evoke the feeling of love and passion and sacrifice for one’s own country.

If you wish to celebrate the victory or independence of Wales, or want to imbibe its symbolic meaning in your life, you may buy Welsh flags and put them in your room or office.

Have you ever wondered. friends, about how the inside of our most precious home really looks to insiders?

The welcome mat by your front door is more than a symbol of entry! It is a transition from outside to inside ~ from stranger to friend!

When people enter the home of your heart, do you do all you can, to make them feel welcome and wanted?

Do you greet them warmly, and focus on their needs? Make sure they are not hungry or thirsty?
Do you ever wonder if they need a listening ear or a sympathetic heart? Maybe they just come for some encouragement, or friendship!
Nothing is as important is it…..
Is there anything more important as the love you lavish on your guests? Isn’t good hospitality … the foretaste of deeper friendships, a foretaste of God’s very own graciousness?
