'' MARRIAGE '' How To Make It Work ( How To Honor Your Mate ) pt 1

Dear Reader:
Today I want to began sharing from (1 Peter 3: 1-7). My goal  is to share these scriptures
one at a time, from different translations and then expound on them.
IF, there is that condition word again, IF - means you have to do something.
IF you want your marriage to work, then PLEASE follow the instructions
written in the Word of God.

(1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 KJ ) 1. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;
that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by
the conversation of the wives;
2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

(1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 AMP) 1. In like manner, you married women, be submissive to your
own husbands ( subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them,
and adapt yourselves to them ), so that even if any do not obey the Word ( of God ),
they may be won over not by discussion but by the ( godly ) lives of their wives,
2. When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves,
together with your reverence ( for your hushand; you are to feel for him all that
reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him-to honor, esteem, appreciate,
prize, and, in human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to,
deeply love, and enjoy your husband ).

( 1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 NLT ) 1. In the same way, you wives must accept the authority
of your husbands, even those who refuse to accept the Good News. Your godly lives
will speak to them better than any words.
2. They will be won over by watching your pure, godly behavior.

In studying these verses this is what the Lord showed me. I Pray that you can receive this.
Married Women we have been given an INSPIRING responsibility  to be an example
of Christ likness to our husbands.We have the Power to Influence our husbands, by our
own attitudes not only toward God and His Word, also by our attitudes toward our husbands.
I believe God created women / wife to be an Incentive for men / husband, so that he,
man / husband, would take his attention off self and pay Close Attention to woman / his wife.
Ladies / Wives we must learn to Love and Enjoy our husbands, an our attitude is the key.
It should be encouraging to all wives, that IF, there is that condition word again, If wives,
would OBEY the written Word of God, they can WIN their husband to Christ, after all is said
and done, that's what life is all about, being an example to our Marriage Partner.
How  To  Make  It  To  Work

We will continue with part 2 next time.
