1 | Help with references to honor your man?? | Eph 5:22 | believer31675 | 165721 | ||
Can anyone tell me where in the bible it references anything to the effect of "honor your husband or anything in the respect"? I am still learning and have just recently turned to the Word. I want to learn to be the best woman I can for my man (we are not yet married) but I want to honor him in every way possible. I know tha Ephesians has some references, but I am still trying to decipher some of the verbage. Does it reference anything in Genesis??? | ||||||
2 | Help with references to honor your man?? | Eph 5:22 | BradK | 165722 | ||
Hi believer, Welcome to the Forum! Glad to hear of your desire for the Word. The first reference is Eph. 5:22-23 "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body." This does take us back and also reference Gen. 3:16 "To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." Additionally, I'll give you the abbreviated list from Topical Text Book on Marriage: Marriage. 1. Divinely instituted. Gen. 2:24. 2. A covenant relationship. Mal. 2:4. 3. Designed for: a. The happiness of man. Gen. 2:18. b. Increasing the human population. Gen. 1:28; 9:1. c. Raising up godly seed. Mal. 2:15. d. Preventing fornication. 1 Cor. 7:2. 4. The expectation of the promised seed of the woman an incentive to, in the early age. Gen. 3:15; 4:1. 5. Lawful in all. 1 Cor. 7:2,28; 1 Tim. 5:14. 6. Honourable for all. Heb. 13:4. 7. Should be only in the Lord. 1 Cor. 7:39. 8. Expressed by a. Joining together. Matt. 19:6. b. Making affinity. 1 Kings 3:1. c. Taking to wife. Exod. 2:1. d. Giving daughters to sons, and sons to daughters. Deut. 7:3; Ezra 9:12. [Torrey, R.A. The New Topical Text Book] I would also recommend 2 books: 1. The 5 Love Languages- Chapman 2. The Art of Understanding Your Mate- Osborne I hope this helps, BradK |

3 | Help with references to honor your man?? | Eph 5:22 | lionheart | 165726 | ||
Hi Brad, Great post. This subject is often one of the most misunderstood and abused subject in the bible. I think God was crystal clear (Gen 2:18)from day one where women were are concerned. Help means help,it doesnt give us call to be dictators or lord it over the women in our lives. Unfortunately thats where some of us are,knowing or unknowingly. This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. I am grateful that we serve a God who is gracious and mercifull in all that he does for us. I will say this,much of what I am today is due to the godly women of God that have been in my life and still are to this day. Brothers married and single cherish this with your whole heart and see how greatly God has blessed all of us. In Christ, lionheart |
