It’s Sunday morning, and things are crazy. I’m rushing to feed little ones breakfast before church… whipping around in a furry picking up last minute toy-chaos from the night before.
I pop on the computer to do something “quick”… but it’s not working. Computers, a love – hate relationship. My husband calls from upstairs that I need to get in the shower… he did not want to be late again like last week.
I tell him I know, I know… just finishing up something quick.
He tells me a few more times, and my response is still the same. When I finally decide to get upstairs, he reminded me of something.
“How can you expect our kids to obey us right away if you are not respecting me in this area?”
I wanted to plead my case, and tell him all the reasons why I had every right to finish up what I was doing on my own time frame… but then I realized something… he was absolutely right.
I sucked up my pride and told him just that…
Our little ones watch our every move… and they are especially watching how Mommy and Daddy treat one another. Is Daddy loving on Mommy? Is Mommy respecting and submitting to Daddy?
It is all so very important…
EPHESIANS 5: 22-28: 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
