Duties Of Ideal Wife

Eve was created to be Adam’s HELPMEET. Therefore, whatever the woman does, her motive must be to help, protect, motivate, uplift and promote her husband.
Here we are to see the duties of the wife to her husband:
I. Love Her Husband. Some women do not love the men they marry. The reasons for this may include the following:

1. She married him because of material benefits she wanted to acquire
2. She might have been growing old so she accepted the marriage as a desperate measure
3. She might have gotten herself pregnant be accident

If any of these negative reasons was what drove you to marry, you can ask God for forgiveness and pray for the grace to do what his word teaches you to do as a Christian spouse. It is very important for a wife to love her husband otherwise it will be very difficult to perform the marital responsibilities of submission, sex etc (Titus 2:4)
II. Submit To Your Husband  (Eph 5:22-23)
The word submission means to give up, give in surrender, yield, succumb, and acknowledge defeat, humble oneself etc.

1. A wife should not be autocratic, or erratic in her actions.
2. The man has a mission in the family while the woman has a sub-mission.

IV. MUST SATISFY YOUR HUSBAND SEXUALLY ((1Cor.7:1-5;1Tim.2:9-10;Pro.%;16-23;Deu 24:5))
Every wife has a God given duty to satisfy needs of her husband. Usually, the need to have sex is greater for a man than for a woman, and many wives find their husbands’ persistent advances for sex a bother. A wife should know and understand that if she does not take care of her husband’s sexual needs, she may push him to seek fulfillment elsewhere and this will lead to a lot of heartaches and pain. It is therefore in her interest to satisfy him sexually whenever he demands it. Sexual relationship between husband and wife is for:

1. Procreation(gen 1:28)
2. Prevention of sin of adultery (1Cor 7:1-2)
3. For pleasure (Gen 18:12)
