by Larry Solomon from Biblical Gender Roles – Why Unity in Marriage Has More to do With the Wife Than the Husband
Editor’s note: So Larry thinks that if you’re a wife you should be making yourself more and more like the things your husband likes instead of having your own personality, desires and likes or dislikes? Seems like to me that Larry does not want a wife who would help guide him, challenge him to be a better version of a man or give him sound advice. He wants a personal cheerleading team or his own ‘Yes’ woman.
Wives need to mold themselves over time more and more to their husbands likes and dislikes and to his various positions on the issues of life. They need to support and understand his passions whether it is his passion for his job, his ministries at church or his hobbies. This even more just mere submission – will bring the true unity that God desires to the marriage.
This does not mean that a wife may ever come to love everything her husband loves or hate everything her husband hates. There are some passions he may have that she will never be able to bring herself to share.
But a wife should pray hard each and every day that God would help her to mold herself and fit herself so that in the same way a crown needs to fit the head of the King who wears it – so to a wife needs to fit herself to her husband.
