Modern times and financial pressures have meant that the division of labour has altered in many homes with wives having full-time jobs.

What should not alter is the husband's position of authority and spiritual leader in the home.

If you are easily distracted from your duties, ask your husband to hold you accountable for your time. Having to account for what you have done each day can be very helpful in keeping you on track if this is still not enough ask your husband to help you further by placing consequences for not completing your chores on time. Do not allow distractions to get the better of you.

The greatest gift you can give your husband is your time. Because when you give your time you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back and that is priceless.

Is your marriage not what it used to be?

Think about this verse

"If you are too lazy to plough don't expect a harvest."

If you don't bother to put effort into your marriage how can you expect it to grow, without effort, it will wither and die.

A Submissive wife should be modest in her dress out of the home. Men are wired differently to women men like to look at women and easily get the wrong signal, don't put your self a situation where your short skirt can be misread as a sign of flirting or seeking male attention.

Your husband's place is to be the provider don't complain when he has to work late he is doing his best to provide a home for you and his family. Instead, ask him if there is anything you can do at home to make his day more manageable.

It is a wife's place to be thrifty and frugal with the household budget.

Before you buy ask yourself "Do we need this or do I just want this because my friends have one". Possessions don't buy happiness.

A wife should not use aggression as a way of winning an argument. If your husband responds to your attack with silence, you make him look or feel like a weak coward who is not man enough in his home, or if he reacts with anger, you make him look/feel like a bully.

Aggression has no place in a marriage.

A Wife should rise early in the morning, so she gets a head start on the day this helps other family members make the most of their day as well.

Have breakfast ready, children's clothing laid out, lunches made so that the morning starts smoothly and on time for the whole family.

As a submissive wife you should be the best wife and mother you can be so your daughters have the perfect role model in their life, and your sons know what to look for in a wife when they are older
