The relationship between a husband and a wife can be a very fruitful relationship if both the man and the woman are able to understand and perform their God given roles. Unfortunately many ladies today are becoming wives without understanding the roles of a wife and what is expected of them by the society/church. Many do not fully know their roles and obligations and the result of this ignorance is the dysfunctional homes we are seeing today and marriages going to the “dogs”. The solution to the dysfunctional marriages today may be found in proper preparation through the right knowledge and training in the godly principles that lead to successful marriages before entering into the institution of marriage. The institution of marriage is under such an attack and it is only wise to educate many young well meaning ladies and men what marriage is all about and how to best play the role they will soon come into. I recognize the need for training and equipping of both men and women for the role of becoming husbands and wives, however this particular volume concentrates on the wives. I agree with the following quote by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu who said “The ultimate end of your education was to make you a good wife (1689–1762). I have undertaken the great challenge of educating and equipping those who are wives and those who desire to become wives in future with the necessary wisdom, understanding and knowledge by gathering insight from the Book of the One who instituted the very institution of family and gave to each member his or her role. Numbers 30:16 These are the regulations the LORD gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife…. The Bible is the only authoritative book that offers the right kind of foundation any wife would need to be able to deal with present and future challenges that would come to kill, steal or destroy her marriage. The scriptures clearly reveal that a young woman may need to be taught how to love her husband and children. Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, The writings herein seek to teach every wife how best to love her husband and discharge her duties as a wife. I have endeavored to look at every scripture in the Bible with the word wife in it with the purpose of gleaning wisdom on the roles of a wife. The comments I have made on the scriptures that have the word wife are meant to give insight on different areas and topics that related to the life of a wife and how best to fulfill that role. I approach the topic of being a wife with utmost respect and love to the woman while at the same time striving to maintain and bring forth the revelation of scripture on the same. It is the author’s sincere hope that that noble endeavor has been achieved and that this work will be a great blessing to this and many more generation.
