A sharp word for all wives to submit ourselves to. I did this morning and
had a honest look at myself with God about how I’m affecting Bill with
my choices and more… How about you? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

What a terrific reminder to seek God in all our choices, and to be obedient to Him! I would hate to be a "cancer" or a "disgrace" to my hubby. And what better way to avoid that than through obedience ;o)
God has been convicting me about my words lately.. I am a "what are you waiting for? Get it done" kinda girl..and it is hard sometimes to not show my disapproval when my husband can be lackadaisical..But i know my word can cut like a knife,, so i am trying to THINK,, before I speak..
It is interesting to watch Sarah and Abraham's relationship. They often did not hold each other to accountability in doing what is right. As a result, they created problems for themselves. If you have trust in a marriage, then you can hold each other accountable. Sometimes it's really hard to be a 100% accountability partner, but I think God shows that He knows we will fail. I would hate to think failure to be a perfect wife would = being a cancer. I think that if I continue to try and be a Godly, loving support help-mate who stands up to accountability and accepts the same from my husband, then I think I won't be a cancer, but a blessing. However, I don't think you can be the wife you need to be without trust!
Lisa, obedience is important in a marriage. So glad you shared your thoughts. I love how you said "Disgrace" as well. Bill is in the Navy. Though I'm not active duty I am watch because he is in a leadership position. I never want to do something that would bring disgrace to his position.

Karen,
I know your not alone. I have heard so many wives talk about this subject. Holding their thoughts and submitting them to God before allowing them to come out. It's not easy but can be done with diligence and slowing down long enough to get Gods thoughts on ours.
You can do it Karen!!

Bluecottonmemory,
So good to hear from you. Trust is what a lot of marriage lack. Great point with Sarah and Abraham. I love it!!

I KNOW my actions/words/attitude were often disgraceful to my ex husband.
I realize my first marriage is over now…but I want to keep learning & growing as a woman and potential future wife to another man (Godly man this time around).
