1 | Help with references to honor your man?? | Eph 5:23 | redinlex | 166131 | ||
Here are some things that I found on this site: easyenglish.info/bible-commentary/eph-lbw.htm At home, husbands, wives and children work out the principles that Paul taught. What follows is not about our rights. It is about our duties to each other. God also gave the wife her place in the family. That place is by the side of her husband. It is as his helper. It says, ‘But for Adam there was no suitable helper… Then the *Lord God made a woman from the bone that he had taken out of the man. And he brought her to the man’ (Genesis 2:20-22). The wife should not be against her husband. By her own choice, she should *submit to him. But to *submit is not something only for a wife. She should *submit as Paul asks each person to *submit in verse 21. There needs to be agreement and unity in the family. This requires a leader. God has given the husband and father the authority to be this leader. So Paul says, ‘Wives, *submit to your husbands, as you do to the *Lord.’ A wife *submits to the *Lord and she *submits to her husband. The two relationships are different. For example, she might do something for her husband. She should do it as she would do it for the *Lord. **There is a great explanation of Ephesians chapter 5 on this site. I encourage you to check it out (it's near the bottom of this site). |
