Christ-Centered Relationship 2
How to display Jesus Christ in your marriage?
You don't really want to become Jesus. You think its beautiful to be humility as Jesus, but do you really want to be that humble? Great savior but not really a great role model. Is it the desire of your heart to lay down your lives like Jesus? Whoever claims to live in Him, must walk as Jesus did.
Do people see Jesus in you the way you see/treat other half?
Submit to your husband, but you do not need to submit to him when he is sinning.

Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.  Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands.
1 Peter 3
Your husband will find it much easier to love you and care for you in a godly way when you are a godly wife that they see purity and reverence in you.

Your husband will not always motivate you to do what is right and to submit to him. Your husband will not always deserve your submission to him. but God has place him at the position with authority over women. First make our goal to honor and serving God.  ANd ultimate decision maker of your home is your husband, but dont underestimate the influence of a Godly wives. but you are the helpmate of your husband.
You need to be For your husband not against your husband. Your husband will benefit from all your input only if he knows you are all FOr him to help him make ultimate decision.
Your husband is accountable to God. God will hold accountable for your husband. The safest place for your to be in the will of God, and the will of God for women is to submit to your husband. denied yourself and serve other, to be like Christ, submission flows naturally out of that mindset.
Action speaks louder than words.
Walk with God, filled with spirit...then you will be the wife He wants you to be.
