The key to a successful marriage is a man who takes his God ordained role as provider and protector of his family seriously.
Any woman worth her salt would be thrilled to find a man who worked hard, didn’t fool around, didn’t abuse her and the kids, and stood up and protected them when needed, instead of being the one she needs protection from.
Sadly, based on commentary here, the only thing men are interested in wives for is sex and to make them a sammich, IOw, dote on them hand and foot.
Women sign a marriage license, not a bill of sale. They are a wife, not an indentured servant. The women’s movement didn’t start in a vacuum.
Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.1 Tim. 12:14.
That is why regarding marriage, the Bible consistently starts with the wife submitting to and obeying the husband. It isn't spoken of today because this is not according to today's popular culture. The mode-o-day starts with the husband so the wife can surrender and obey him. But that is not biblical. The only biblical condition is "as unto the Lord" not "if your husband deserves it."
The rebellion of today's women against their husbands and men in general is the greatest social problem and the main reason for the staggering amount of divorces today. Nobody talks about it because it is so unpopular which is why there is no stoppage of the divorce rate and the accompanying infanticide, all promoted by the Women's Movement.
I speak God's truth. Nevertheless, let the flame throwing begin.
