If your relationships aren’t in order, then your spiritual warfare tactics and fighting will be greatly hindered.

Verse 10 starts out with therefore, be strong in the Lord. Meaning, you can’t be strong in the Lord if you have unhealthy relationships and

Wives - scripture says submit, respect and make him feel desirable… by this act you are clearly under his authority. If you do not do this you step out of Gods design for your marriage and are no longer under Gods designed protection.

Eph. 5:22-24

The wife is to be under her husbands authority, ruler the head!

Gk. = kefalay the loss of the head destroys the life

Ladies when you axe the head of your marriage you choose invite the enemy to bring death in every area of your life. 

LADIES: You have problems physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally… have you placed yourself under your husbands authority, and by doing so his protection which comes from God. 

Wives respect your husband… not love. Why because women are the weaker sex… meaning they assume and associate Love with feelings. Men understand it to mean action. But Respect is an action to a women… you don’t have to like him, you don’t have to feel like it, you don’t have to want to but out of respect you will serve that person.

RESPECT

SUBMIT

DESIRABLE

1 Peter 3:7 women are the weaker sex…

Weaker Gk = morally feeble… go by feelings more than whats right. Dad says the kid needs to be spanked… mom knows its right but can’t do it.

Moved by your emotions easily… is good and bad. Spank your kids… Dad~!    Give them another chance - Mom

Ladies, 

  - when you choose to submit to your husbands, 

  - when you choose to respect them, 

  - when you choose to make him feel desirable… those are all things God asks of us in worship to him - It crucifies your flesh and it keeps you directly under Gods perfectly provided protection for you.
