Greeting a one's husband in the morning is an indication that the woman has a lot of respect for the man. A man should however not deem it beneath him to greet his wife first when she fails to do so. Do you know that there are wives so egoistic that they would call their husband to order if he woke them up and did not greet them first? A good wife should not do this.

A woman should only marry a man she can respect.

I believe that a lot of women did not consider this before they got married and therefore entered the marriage with wrong expectations. They wanted the man to be their boyfriends. This is not a bad desire. However, you need to realise that[b] respect [/b] is what a man desires as well. If you give him respect, you'll get people to wonder if you used juju for him. If he is also a sensible man, he'll also treat you like a queen for respecting him.

Marriage is very old school and hence is hinged on very old school principles. The new school preaches relationships where a man can live with a woman without being married and they can have other relationships if they so choose. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did this for years. It was their choice. For others homosexuality may be their desire. They also have a right to this choice.

However,for those who would be in a marriage as ordained by God, there is the need to view marriage like two different people being fused into one. A ship cannot have two captains. The husband is the captain of the family. He has rights and duties. If he fails to take care of his family, the bible says he is an infidel. If he cannot control his children, the bible says he should not be made a bishop (a priest). He therefore has great responsibilities. One of these is to love his wife. This means even after disrespecting him, he should forgive her, he should love her and take care of her.

The wife also has duties and responsibilities to her husband and children. She should submit to him to encourage him to love her.

It is only a man who does not deserve to be a husband that a woman would submit(respect) to and the man would still go out and have an extra marital affair -[i][/i] after he vowed on his wedding day to love and protect her.

Both husbands and wives should today go and reread their marriage vows.. By the way, Happy Valentine Day to all wives submissive to their husbands and to all husbands loving their wives.

In conclusion, wives submit to your husband so that you husband in turn submits to you. Do not copy women of the world who have no business being married and should have stayed single sleeping with whoever they choose. Husbands, pls treat your wives like the weaker vessel that they are. Lets remember to be gentle kings using the authority that God has given husband over their wives in a manner that results in Godly marriages. For those who find these comments of mine very traditional, pls remember that you have a choice to stay out of marriage. Marriage is old School. If you enter marriage and do not abide by Godly principles, how are you then better than those who have chosen to stay single because they cannot submit to a man or love a woman?
