rise beyond the river near the cross I'll watch and wait hoping trusting ever till I'll reach the
golden strand just be the river and the cross and the cross be my glory ever till my rapture soul
shall find rise beyond the river while the offering plates are passed around turning your
Bibles to Genesis chapter 2 Genesis chapter 2 will read we're gonna read the whole chapter as
is our custom Genesis chapter 2 you can follow along silently and starting in verse 1 where the
Bible read thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them and on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it he had rested
from all his work which God created and made these are the generations of the heavens and of the
earth when they were created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens and every
plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew for the
Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground and
there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground and the Lord God
formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man
became a living soul and the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man
whom he had formed and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to
the site and good for food the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil and a river went out of Eden to water the garden and from thence it was
parted and became into four heads the name of the first is Pison that is which can pass at the whole
land of Havilah where there is gold and the gold of that land is good there is Delian and the onyx
stone and the name of the second river is Gaon the same as it that can pass at the whole land
of Ethiopia and the name of the third river is Hedekul that is it which goeth toward the east
of Assyria and the fourth river is Euphrates and the Lord God took the man and put him into the
garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree
of the garden thou mayest freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou
shalt not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die and the
Lord God said it is not good that the man should be alone I will make him and help meet for him
and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the year
and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever Adam called every living
creature that was the name thereof and Adam gave names to all cattle and to the fowl of the year
and to every beast of the field but for Adam there was not found and help meet for him
and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs and
closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he
a woman and brought her unto the man and Adam said this is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh
she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man therefore shall a man leave
his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh
and they were both naked the man and his wife and were not ashamed let's bow our heads for a word of
prayer father god we thank you so much lord for genesis chapter 2 and for this story here in
scripture i just pray now that you fill pastor Shelley with the holy ghost lord and just enable
him to preach his sermon for us to the best of his ability and also lord help us to pay close
attention and apply this message to our lives so we can walk out more complete christians be with
us as we go our separate ways after the service father and thank you so much for everything you've
given us in Jesus name i pray amen so i want to look back at verse 18 where the bible read and
the lord god said it is not good that the man should be alone i will make him and help me for
him so in in the beginning of god's creation we have the six days of creation we have the seventh
day of rest in chapter number two god is kind of giving us a a more detailed explanation
of day six specifically so he's he's kind of relaying how he did things on day six
he created man and he also created every single beast of the field now after Adam
has basically observed all the different beasts of the field god looks at it and says he's alone
meaning that dog is not man's best friend meaning that there is no such thing as a beast of a
companion a companion and yet god believes this is bad god doesn't like the idea of the man being
alone he doesn't want him to be alone so he says very specifically in verse 18 i will make him and
help meet for him so we have to understand that the context here is that whatever the next creation
is going to be is for the man and so that he's not alone specifically okay verse 19 and out of
the ground the lord god formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them
on Adam to see what he would call them and whatsoever Adam called every living creature
that was the name thereof and Adam gave name saw cattle into the fowl of the air and every beast
of the field but for Adam there was not found and help meet for him so the animals don't work right
verse number 20 verse 21 the lord god caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he
took one of his ribs and he closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the lord god
had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man says in the Adam said this is
now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out
of the man therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife
and they shall be one flesh and they were both naked and the man and his wife and were not
ashamed so according to the bible god looked at man and decided he it wasn't good that he was
alone yet every single animal animal was not suitable for him he named all the beasts but
it's not really what god is designed for man so he ends up taking his rib and forming a woman
and this woman according to the bible in verse number 24 is described as his wife it says in
verse number 25 even the man and his wife so according to the bible what does the bible teach
as to what the role of a woman is it was specifically a wife and the title of my sermon
this evening is ways to be a great wife because if god has created wives if god has created woman
and that is you know the majority role obviously there's exceptions but generally speaking women
are designed to be a man's wife then why not be the best wife that you could possibly be and of
course even adam realized that this is a pattern that is going to last forever because while he'd
never had a physical mother or father in like a human form god was his father but he didn't really
have a mother he said therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto
his wife and they shall be on flesh so adam had a lot of intelligence obviously since he could
realize all these different things even though they'd never even happened yet and adam realized
that in the future there's going to be other men there's going to be other women there's going to
be children born and when these children are born they're going to leave mom and dad so they're not
going to laugh with mom and dad forever and what's going to happen a man is going to be married
under a woman and the woman is going to be his wife and so we have the institution of marriage
and we have a really specific purpose and a role for women and that is to be a wife and i believe
that you know women should strive to be the greatest wife that they can possibly be so ways
to be a great wife number one believe you were created to be a wife you know i i don't want women
to think like oh i'm why am i a wife or why get married or why do these things well god created
woman in the beginning to be a wife and you know i believe that is the calling on 99 some percent
of women is to be a wife is to be the wife of some man and to not only be a wife but to be a great
wife but i do believe it's important that women realize that women weren't just created randomly
they were committed with a very specific purpose to be the help meet of their husband and as the
bible you know what is it what does it help me meet means suitable appropriate well-fitted
and help means to do good okay to assist to so you're you're doing what you're a suitable helper
you're a suitable assistant you are his help in everything that he has to accomplish in his life
and of course animals are not very suitable the woman is the suitable creation for man now
i'm not going to go to a verse on every point that i have this evening i have about 22 points
okay that was point one go to proverbs 31 all right don't get too nervous okay
we already finished point one come on folks okay i don't know with all this laughter all right
point number two and and this is obviously for someone that's married but
you know your husband is first place in your life now i am putting the caveat obviously the lord is
supposed to be number one we get that obviously always put god number one period but humanly
speaking of your human relationships your husband should be number one and you know when you first
get married that's easy because you don't have anybody i mean already it's just you guys right
sometimes there might be a competition between parents or siblings or friends
but that's usually not as big a deal but what can happen in a marriage is is women start
putting their children number one or they put their grandchildren number one
or they put other relationships number one the bible i believe teaches and gives the tip and
the advice that wives should always their number one relationship and never allow to
stop being number one is their husband so your focus your goal in life is to be a wife first
a mother second a sister second a daughter second everything else is second number one is wife
if you want to be a great wife be a wife first and then let everything else go into its its natural
order number three boost your husband don't tear him down boost your i mean you were you
were created to be a help me so what this means is it's not your job to criticize him it's not
your job to rebuke him or to go around and correct him or to tell him what he's doing wrong it's your
job to be his permanent cheerleader to only boost your husband and and a verse that i think about
is in proverbs 31 here look at verse 12 it's talking about a the virtuous woman it says she
will do him good and not evil all the days of her life that's a great verse you know a great wife
is going to do good under her husband every single day just every day she's always boosting
her husband encouraging her husband helping her husband and she's not going to do any harm to her
husband try to hurt her husband you know the worst thing you can do is is have sabotage in the
marriage right if you don't want your marriage to go well i mean you can sabotage it but if you
want it to go well you're going to help your husband you're going to assist your husband
you're going to do good on your husband all the days of your life that is your goal you you signed
up for it i didn't force you to marry your husband you decided this is the man that i'm going to
support for the rest of my life i'm going to just always just try to boost him and encourage him and
support him and be on his team on his side and when you do this you have to realize that your
husband's gonna have bad days you know it says every day right sometimes your dad your husband's
gonna have a bad day sometimes your husband's gonna do wrong sometimes your husband's gonna
screw up sometimes your husband's not going to be the man that he should be but you know what your
goal is to still do him good that day is to still boost him that day still encourage him that day
still to assist them and to help him you know what i like about cheerleaders which again i'm not
for that profession necessarily or anything like that but is no matter how bad the team is losing
they still cheer right i mean they're still doing the routine it's not like it's 50 to nothing
they're like all right bye man you guys suck you know give me a u give me an o give me a
give me a y give me a o give me a u they can't spell okay folks you suck you know it's like
no they're gonna be like go team score you know they don't care that it's a blowout
they cheer whether or not the team's doing great necessarily and and they boost the football
players and they still like the football players and they still want to hang out with a football
player you know just be just a just a constant cheerleader for your husband just just aside
from now on i just i only am going to do good under him i'm only going to praise him i'm only
going to be appreciative of everything he does and you know if he doesn't do anything good today
if there's nothing worth of praising of the day then you know don't say anything or
find something positive to say about the past you know i'm just glad you're alive
honey i just really appreciated the other day just wanted to let you know that you know
but don't tear him down you know he doesn't need everybody else is tearing him down
okay work's tearing him down the world's tearing him down cnn's tearing him down everybody's
tearing him down okay you got to be the one person in his life that's just on his side no matter what
goviewood song of solomon chapter number six song of solomon chapter number six so
so point number three boost him don't tear him down
song of solomon chapter number six verse eight here's another verse i thought of
there are three score queens and four scoring concubines and virgins without number
my dove my undefiled is but one she is the only one of her mother she is the choice one of her
that bear her the daughter saw her and blessed her yea the queens and the concubines and they praised
her so the bible is saying that this woman to solomon is unique in the sense that she's
better than every other woman and if you want to be queen you need to first make your husband king
you know the reason why this woman is praised as being better than all the other ladies
is look at how she treats her husband in the book of song of solomon you know if you make your
husband a king in your household you can then rightly rightly become his queen but if you tear
down your husband to the point where he's a nothing then you're married to nothing you know
it's like you if you don't realize like the more you tear down your husband the worse you are
because you married that the more you boost your husband the more you married up right it's like
don't tear him down to where he's just a loser and then you married a loser that doesn't make
you cool you know build him up to be a king and then you married a king you're a queen
so it's like the reflections you have for your husband the way you treat him the way you give
him respect the way that you talk about him the things that you do for him are going to affect
you too you know if you put your husband on a pedestal for the family and you you model for
your children that your husband is a king he's the king of the castle he's to be honored and
respected and feared and we treat him with awe then it's going to allow for you to also get that
same kind of treatment whereas if you treat dad as like someone to be picked on and and ridiculed
and and talked down to then you're going to also then find yourself in a similar role sitting next
to him you know don't expect to be elevated to be a queen when you're tearing down your husband
to be a jester you know put your husband on a pedestal so that you can be alongside of him
and you can be that queen to being his king and of course this woman that's why she's considered
just so much better than every other woman it's like this woman is really just putting
her husband on a pedestal praising everything about him i mean when did you find the criticism
in Song of Solomon show me the woman criticizing her husband and you know he's like doing weird
stuff like she can't find him he's not coming home late and all this stuff but she's still praising
she's still seeking after him she still wants to be around him i mean you know arguably
Solomon's got some some issues but this woman still likes him still appreciates everything
about it and she's just focused on the positive you can choose every single day of her life
to either focus on the positive or focus on the negative okay now you say how do i focus on the
negative turn on the news i mean the news is just focused on the negative of this world there is
especially certain news sites it is like only negative it's just it's just a negative
perspective on life whereas you know i find some people in my life to be like almost only positive
you know it's it's funny to me like one of my friends pastor Anderson he's like the most
positive person i've ever been around in my life like he's always looking at everything from a
really like positive perspective and i have to say if there's one attribute about him that i wish i
could rub off on money is to be as positive as he is you know it doesn't matter it's like just the
whole world's just descending into hell and he's just like sweet you know great i'm not going there
it's just like he just has this like super positive outlook all the time and and i'm
always thinking like how do you continue to be positive and happy just every day when it feels
like every day gets a little worse like it just seems like America gets a little worse every day
and just like morality a little worse and just another drag event and like another reprobate
and just another just issue another lawsuit another you know just you laugh because it's
true okay sorry the ticker just keeps going up uh just just like everything it just it kind of just
feels like sometimes the walls are closing in if you want to let them but you know i've known
pastor Anderson long enough and i've talked to him he has serious issues on a regular basis
but he just continually is just so positive and so happy and what that tells me is this
you can choose to be happy no matter what's happening in your life
now frankly speaking why it sticks out to me that he's like that is because most people aren't like
him most of most of us and most people are just not like him and i'm saying that we should all
strive to be like him and just be a happy per every day you know as a wife you could be happy
every single day now that might sound crazy to you but but here's the thing you're in the driver's
seat like you get to decide how you go every day now of course you will have an enormity of
problems every day especially if a lot of kids like they will they're gonna lie scream cry
spill stuff they're gonna they're gonna ruin their clothes they're gonna do like you're
gonna have like a hundred problems tomorrow if not tonight okay i get that but you could still
just choose to be happy and you know you're being happy for yourself you're being happy
for your husband you're being happy for your children and and really that gives me to my
fifth point is just make the home pleasant because go to proverbs 21 just flip back a few pages
to proverbs 21 you know when you're not a happy person it's hard to be a great wife you know what
i liked about nehemiah is the bible says that he was just his countenance was never sad in the
presence of the king that's incredible when you think about it he makes me think of someone like
pastor anderson someone that was just it was just like you never saw him have a bad day you never
saw him you know letting his emotions and and situations affect his attitude he just decided
i'm gonna have a good attitude no matter what
you know and it's nice to be around people that can just find the good in every bad situation
proverbs 21 look at verse 19 is the opposite it is better to dwell in the wilderness
than with a contentious and an angry woman you know what if you're angry every single day
you have a problem and you say oh well if all my problems get fixed i wouldn't be angry you're
lying to yourself because number one you're never going to have a day where you don't have problems
like just let's let's just pause for a moment when did you have a day when you didn't have problems
it's like you always did it's like well back when i was a teenager you had problems in school
all your girlfriend drama and all your school drama and all your parents drama
holding you back and whatever i mean you're just always gonna have tons and tons of problems in
life sufficient under the days the evil thereof so what you have to do is you just have to decide
i'm going to take control of my emotions i'm going to take control of my attitude
and i'm going to decide to be pleasant today regardless of what happens now here's just some
practical advice go if you would back to song of solomon how do you do this practically speaking
because it sounds great right i think everybody would just say like sure fine i'll do that but
then they they don't okay so so here's two ways to try to actually be pleasant every single day
number one is you got to read the bible to start the day because the scriptures can put you in the
right attitude in the right frame of mind okay so if you want to be pleasant that day if you want to
be pleasant tomorrow start with the bible see how you have to have you have to start now that might
mean you have to get up a little earlier than the kids it might mean you have to do something you
know to get to make that work but i'm just trying to be honest with you if you struggle with this
and you want to be more pleasant in the home number one you have to start with the bible number
two is probably even more important as far as being being pleasant you must expect many problems
for the day you have to believe many problems are going to happen because because you know it's like
okay i gave my kid a tall glass of milk he's gonna spill it it's like okay i gave all the kids juice
they're gonna get on their shirt and they're gonna run their shirt well i let the kids go
out and play they're probably gonna fall down get hurt stung by a bee get mosquito bites they're
gonna hit each other one of the kids might break an arm you know just saying i mean you just you
have to go into the day and say like all right i'm gonna have a hundred problems today no no problem
i'm going in and i already got this because this is what happens your expectation is like all right
today the kids are going to be they're going to sit down and they're going to be quiet and
they're going to obey and the school work is going to go perfectly and laundry is going to go
perfectly and i'm never going to get interrupted and no one's going to be mad at no the kids aren't
going to scream at each other you know nothing nothing bad is going to happen today and then
what happens all of that is just ruined and then you just get angry and angry and anger and anger
all day and then eventually your husband comes home and he's like i want to leave too okay
because look your husband when he goes to work the boss doesn't say you know what
we actually got everything done today
there was no problems do you just want to play ping pong all day
let's just go watch a movie and then he's just like yeah it was a fun day you know you know
what happens when they come to work so we fire three people and actually we're behind and i
might need you to work through lunch and uh here's 10 other problems i don't want to solve i don't
even know how to get them done will you do them actually not will you do it now it's like that's
his day you know i don't go into work thinking like you know what there's probably nothing bad
that's gonna happen today it's just like that's a foolish attitude you know i have to go i have to
wake up every morning thinking like what lawsuit do i have next today you know like what's my new
lawsuit and then i can be like pleased when i don't have one right when i don't get another
one or i don't have another issue i don't have another problem or i don't you know it's like
which 10 platforms that i get you know censored from today it's like okay otherwise my life would
just be a train wreck it just be like i'd be frustrated everything it's like banned from
paypal and banned from sermon audio and banned from youtube and banned from facebook and banned
from this bank and banned from every bank and banned from every merchant processor and it's
just like no it's just like oh okay i guess i gotta work on another one oh i guess i gotta do
that you know but wives should have the same attitude with their kids oh spill it again okay
no problem cleaned up oh they punched them all right spanking all right they yelled okay i'm
gonna spank them i'm shocked no i'm not okay oh they don't know how to do their schoolwork i'm
gonna help them with their school you know you just you just go on any day it's like hey it's
no problem you know i read the bible and it said you know something in proverbs that helped me
something that encouraged me i read proverbs 31 i'm thinking about my husband today you know
that that's gonna help you practically read the bible in the morning have expectations that you
will have an infinite number of problems the rest of your life if you have bad expectations
you have no expectations or poor expectations that can ruin everything you know my philosophy
is to expect for the worst and hope for the best right you don't want to have this this idea of
like everything's going to always work out because you're going to constantly be disappointed
why because everyone sucks okay and and did you read the bible how about read this verse every
morning foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of corrections will drive it
far from them so you say you know what you're gonna get 10 today maybe that's what you should
do you should write down a number like i expect 10 from him today and they're gonna get eight
they're gonna get seven and then like when it's it's only nine you're like well it's a good day
you know instead of thinking like zero for all of them it's like that's unrealistic
okay that's just that's just not how life works also here's another one point six don't brag
about being better than your husband now i know some people don't understand this but women can
be better than men at things okay can i get an amen and and it's okay that your wife is better
than you at something you know what as a woman don't brag about being better than your husband
at anything that's a way to be just like an employee an employee shouldn't brag about being
better than his boss at something at work and if you're if you're smarter than your husband if
you're better at finances if you're better with words if you understand more about some topic
which is there's a lot of topics that women know way more about than their husband because they're
in it they're involved they do whatever homeschooling you know i wouldn't even be
surprised if a lot of these women who homeschool their children they're probably better at grammar
they're probably better at handwriting they're probably better at a lot of different things
you know what even if you are don't criticize your husband even if you're better than him at
something or put him down encourage help him you're a help me you're there to assist him
and help him get better at things you know if you ask your husband to get something in the store
he's probably not as good as you at doing that i remember my sister uh she always cooked with
butter amen okay no margarine and she's at home and they're early married and and she's like
trying to make i can't remember what it was but something with butter which is anything right
and they have margarine and she's like go to the store and get some butter i don't want to use this
margarine so my brother-in-law goes to the store and comes back with margarine and she's like i
said to get butter why did you get margarine he says well it's cheaper it's like yeah he's
bad at shopping you know my wife asked me to make enchiladas and get heavy whipping cream and i came
back with cool whip okay i didn't know what that was but you know what we both ate it okay it's
cool whip enchiladas right she didn't have to tear me down and she didn't okay so you know what you
just eat the cool whip enchiladas and then you help your husband know what that looks like next
time you're like here's a picture here's the aisle you know let me assist you in this test or you're
like i'm gonna get the groceries from now on this is not tips on how to get out of getting groceries
okay folks number seven put the husband before children okay this is kind of similar to the
other point but it's more specific because your your children need more attention than your
husband arguably i mean of course right you may have to cut up their food you may have to serve
them more they're gonna make more messes and everything like that but in general you should
still put them first and you know here's just ways to put them first how about at the dinner table
dad gets served first before the children when it comes to lunch you make dad's lunch before your
concerned with the kids lunch you know when it comes to anything that revolves around the dad
you're putting him first you have to answer this question in what ways do you put your husband
above your children you know you say i don't know well that's not a good idea you know a good idea
is to find ways that you can put your husband first and practically speaking sometimes you're
gonna serve the children first i get that right but i'm just saying try to try to even impress
it upon your children dad is way more important than you guys like i care more about him than i
care about you guys you guys are a far distant second and that should be vice versa but of
course we're talking about wise this this evening number eight let your husband know that you love
him i know that guys are are tough we talked about this morning okay but they they're kind
of softies inside they're pretending that they're tough they need for you to constantly tell them
how much you love them okay now look at solomon song of solomon chapter five verse eight i charge
your daughters of jewslam if you find my beloved that you tell him that i'm sick of love you know
she's like hey i want everybody to know i love this guy verse nine what is my beloved more than
another beloved oh thou fairest among women what is thy beloved more than another beloved that
thou dost so charges so they're like yeah yeah this is your husband whatever why why is he so
much better verse 10 my beloved is white and ruddy notice that white is right no i'm just
kidding the chief is among ten thousand his head is as the most fine gold his locks are bushy
and black as a raven his eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters washed with milk
and fitly set his cheeks are as a bed of spices as sweet flowers his lips like lilies dropping
sweet smelling myrrh his hands are as gold rings set with the barrel his belly is as bright ivory
overlaid with sapphires his legs are as pillars of marble set upon sockets of fine gold his countenance
is as lebanon excellent as the cedars his mouth is most sweet yay he is all together lovely this
is my beloved and this is my friend oh daughters of Jerusalem could you imagine i mean you're
you're some late your wife's just talking to her girlfriends they're like this is how i describe
my husband it's like hey let let me husband know that i'm missing him i love him oh yeah why look
at this list i mean she's just like describing everything she just i mean could you really tell
me this woman doesn't like her husband at all i mean it sounds like this woman loves her husband
is obsessed with her husband wants to tell her about how great her husband is and how she finds
him lovely and you know what whatever it is about your husband that you like you should tell him
that you like it this is going to help you become a great wife and he loves to hear about it you
know i'll tell you this your husband probably would never get sick of you telling him how much
of a study is i'm just telling you like he won't get tired of it he you could you say i want to
talk to my husband okay have a sit-down meeting and you're going to tell him everything you like
about him he'll he's all ears okay he wants to hear about how great he is okay you got to feed
his ego a little bit right go to first peter chap number three number nine is be interested in his
activities be interested in his activities you know god created the woman to be the help of the
man so let's be real the man's activities are more important than the wife's activities so you
should be interested in his activities you know what he is prioritizing in his life what he thinks
is important what he's going to do for the family you need to be interested in what he's doing you
know learn about what he likes and what he does i heard a great preacher dr phil stringer he said
this about women he said hey i know those young women that are interested in the football players
they don't know anything about football but if they're interested in a football player they'll
learn everything there is to know about football they'll learn about how the game's played and the
rules and and they'll go watch the game and they love to learn about football just because they're
interested in the guy and you know what guys love it when girls take an interest in the things that
their husband is into you know his hobbies the things that he likes his work everything that he
likes to do you know church that's a great thing if your husband's really into church get interested
in his activities you know he's interested in the bible get interested in the bible you know you
want to talk with your husband be interested in the activities he's into because then he'll talk
to you about it you know some guys it's really easy for me to talk to and other guys i mean i
can talk to anybody i feel like i know a lot of different things and i have some experience and
virtually everything so it's pretty easy for me to find something to talk about but the guys that
are just the easiest to talk to it's when we both have a lot of interest in the same activities
and of course you know if you want it to be easy for you and your wife to communicate
you got to find some common ground you got to find some things that you're both interested in
that you can kind of talk about that you can both share about you know whereas if you have
a whole cornucopia of information that she doesn't understand it's going to be very difficult to
communicate you know it's very difficult to explain a football game if you don't know
anything about football it doesn't really matter you could have you could have a really epic
statement that you meant make like he made a one-handed catch and scored a touchdown it's
like what's a touchdown you know it's like okay i got to explain that you know you got to have
a certain level of base understanding to be able to communicate with people and connect with people
on a certain level and so as a wife you should strive to know more about your husband more about
his activities and in fact just a great way is just hey husband tell me about this explain this
to me i want to know more about this you mind helping me understand this you know and they
would love to sit there and tell you about all these things and of course feign interest at least
okay number 10 always submit always submit so we're in first peter chapter number three
it's giving instructions to wipe and specifically in a situation where the husband is not great
verse one likewise you always be in subjection your own husbands that if any obey not the word
they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wise while the behold your
chase conversation coupled with fear so according to the bible a wife is supposed to submit herself
to her husband regardless of how he behaves and of course it's easy when he's good it's easy when
he's righteous it's easy when he's a leader it's hard when he's not but this this verse is not
about the easy times it's about the hard times so as a great wife a great wife will just always do
what her husband says no matter how good a husband he is no matter how sinful he is no matter what
he's doing you know you gotta realize this verse is even for a wife that's married to an unbeliever
i mean if a wife is supposed to submit to an unsaved guy how much more should she submit
to a husband that's already saved and taken to a church and you know if you've got a man in this
room that's taken to a to a church like this i mean you have to submit i mean why would you not
that's a way to be a great wife verse five look at it says for after this manner in the old time
the holy women also who trusted in god adorn themselves being in subjection under their own
husbands even as sarah obeyed abraham calling him lord whose daughters he are as long as you
do well and are not afraid of any amazement now you know what i like about this couple
is it's using sarah as such a great example of a woman that's willing to submit and subject
herself to her husband but think about this who's her husband isn't her husband abraham
i mean if you were going to think like i don't know if you ever have this thought but you're
like if you're going to marry someone in the bible as a lady wouldn't abraham be kind of like
the one of the top guys in the bible like you would think like of men to marry in the bible
you would think like of men to marry in the bible like abraham's probably one of the top guys
yet sarah still had to submit to this guy meaning that hey you know what even if you're married to
abraham you're gonna have things you disagree with him on like you would think like there's
a guy that i can follow it's abraham but it's like even sarah had to submit and subject herself
unto abraham meaning there was time she disagreed with abraham there was time she didn't like what
abraham decided yet the bible commended sarah because she was willing to submit herself unto
abraham and you know what if abraham is someone that you're going to disagree with you're
definitely disagree with your husband your husband's going to have issues and so women
should learn to be obedient and should always submit to their husband period number 11 be
beautiful and appealing go to proverbs 31 proverbs 31 um obviously we we believe in
women being modest we believe in covering their nakedness but that doesn't mean you can't be
beautiful i don't i don't think that a woman dressed like a whore makes her more beautiful
you know and a woman being immodest doesn't make her more beautiful
um but at the same time you know those things can distract from true beauty and actually
cheapen what a woman looks like and so when we when we preach about women dressing feminine
and dressing godly and and not focusing on their physical appearance we're not trying to get you
all to look like amish women okay we're not trying to get you to all wear the same dress
okay now if that happens by coincidence i'm not pointing fingers all right i'm just saying
you know you should be beautiful and appealing for your husband and you say well i don't know
if that's in the bible but look at proverbs 31 verse 22 she maketh herself coverings of tapestry
her clothing is silk and purple so notice this woman's actually putting a lot of effort and
energy into her clothing and making her clothing be what very appealing very beautiful so you know
what i'm all for women dressing in a beautiful way remaining beautiful remaining appealing and
and of course you know if you're going to figure out how to dress my second my 12th point is the
dress the way he wants you know whatever your husband likes why not dress that way you know
or if there's certain things that he prefers or likes more or less you know you should strive to
be appealing for your husband strive to be beautiful for your husband and and work on
maintaining that in your relationship verse or not verse point 13 talk to him very frankly about
his needs go to song of solomon chapter number two song of solomon chapter number two talk to him
frankly very frankly about his needs now the word frankly means blunt obvious very clear
so we're not being vague about things and you know as a wife since you're a helper
you should just ask your husband like what is it that you really want i mean there should be like
a regular interval of your life where you're constantly just getting feedback from your husband
and ask him like what do you want like what what meals do you want me to make you
you know like what more can i do in a relationship what what is it that i could do for your clothing
more what could i do with the kids more what you know just ask him like what do you or what do you
need is there something that you know is bothering you that i can help you with is there something
about work that's frustrating you think that i could help with hey is there some you know thing
with church that i could help with you know this is just how to be a great wife and let me be frank
you know as men instead of getting all like i hope my wife does this think about how you could
do this for your boss at work because it's the same concepts right if you want to be a great
employee you should be constantly thinking like what hey boss what could i do to make this better
how can i help more is there another area that you want me to work in right because it's the
same relationship as far as just things that make you great and and when it comes to being a wife
you could frankly talk to him about his needs or just are you ever even concerned about your
husband's needs this this is what i find in bad marriages women will approach the church
and they'll say pastor shelly you know my marriage isn't going well because my husband's not meeting
my needs or a husband will come to me and say hey pastor shelly my wife's not meeting my needs
you know they never come to me and they say like hey pastor shelly i'm really concerned
that i'm not meeting my spouse's needs and i'll be honest i don't think that people like
the marriage counseling advice i give them because because usually when someone comes
to me and they say hey pastor shelly my husband's not meeting my needs this is what i usually tell
well you know what you should do you should try to meet your husband's needs more
you should try to you should try to like serve him more and and do better things for him
it's like i thought you're gonna call my husband and tell him he's a jerk you know
it's like husband's like telling me they have problems with their wife it's like
okay we'll serve her more or help her more or love on her more or or do that it's like you know if
you have problems in your marriage you should try to do more you know why do you think doing less
will help doing the same is not doing anything apparently doing less obviously wouldn't fix the
problem so your only real alternative is to do more or i don't know if they hopefully they don't
think that i was ever say like we'll just quit then give up no i'll never tell you that i'll
tell you if your spouse sucks and is the worst spouse ever i'll be like hey just do the best
you possibly can serve them a hundred percent because why wouldn't you you know that's what
god expects of you that's what god wants you to do and you know as a wife you should be considered
about his needs not your needs look at song of solomon chapter 2 verse 7 tell me oh thou whom
my soul loveth where thou fetus where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon for why should i be as
i'm sorry i'm reading verse 1 chapter 1 verse 7 of chapter 2 i charge you daughters of jerusalem
by the rose and by the hinds of the field that you stir not up nor awake my love till he please
let's read that again okay i like this i charge you oh you daughters of jerusalem by the rose and
by the hinds of the field that you stir not up nor awake my love till he please so he's saying hey
you guys be quiet don't let your animals run around don't make any noises we're not
going to wake up my husband until he wants to wake up that's that's incredible when you think
about it and i mean she's in charge of all these other ladies and all these other things going on
it's like kids hush dad's sleeping i mean whose needs is she concerned with she's concerned with
her husband's needs and i'm just telling you that's in the bible i i just read a verse in
the bible okay folks if you don't like the bible you're welcome to go anywhere else
look at verse four or i'm not go to proverbs 31 go to proverbs 31 my 14th point is be a good
listener you know as a wife you're a better communicator so you should work on being a
good listener think about what your husband's saying think about what he wants think about
uh you know topics that he's interested in telling you about and just sit down and listen
just listen your husband talk you know the bible says if if if a woman's going to learn anything
let her ask her husband at home you know if if you're going to learn something the only way to
learn is to be silent and to listen and and i think that a lot of women could benefit from
letting their husbands teach them things in the bible and and or just life or just have a good
conversation you know being a good listener is a great way to to build a relationship and
what i find is everybody loves a good listener
you know if you if you have a friend that's always over talking you
and anytime you bring up something they just kind of bring up their point
or it seems like while you're talking they're just thinking about the next thing they want to say
you kind of stop losing interest you don't really want to talk that person that much
people that actually are they're hanging on every word that you say
they're engaging back and forth of what you're saying and they want they genuinely just want
or desire to hear what you have to say you love being around that person and so of course as a
great wife if you want your husband to have a lot of affection towards you you know you want your
husband to think this i can't wait to go home and tell my wife what just happened i can't wait to
share this story with my wife i'm so excited to tell my wife about this and you know why he thinks
that because i know that my wife is going to listen to me i know that my wife's going to be
engaged in the conversation and i know that my wife is going to give me a positive reaction when
i tell her this story she's not going to be mad at me or nagging or wanting to tell me something or
not that i mean she just wants to sit down and she just wants to listen to whatever i have to say
that'll help with your marriage my 15th point is be very frugal financially look at proverbs 31
verse 11 the heart of her husband is safely trusting her so that he shall have no need of
spoil you know our economy is getting worse generally speaking and and budgets are getting
cut at the workplace wages are going down inflation's going up gas is going up taxes are
going up i mean just everything is just food man the cost of food is just spiked everything's more
expensive and it doesn't look like there's any slowing down even and and wages are not keeping
up with this type of stuff typically speaking so you know one thing you could do to just help
your marriage and help your husband is to try and save money by working harder as opposed to
working less and costing more money because because everything you can have anything with
money like there's almost nothing you can't buy today i mean if you don't want to go buy groceries
you can have someone buy groceries for you if you don't want to go buy prada handbags you can buy
you can pay for a personal shopper to go buy you a fifteen thousand dollar purse i mean if you if
you could just dream up anything i mean you could buy anything you want i mean you can have you can
have mcdonald's delivered people might even deliver indian food i don't know i don't know why
you pay for that but i mean at the store you can you can buy any food at any stage in its process
right i mean you can buy flour you could buy tortillas you could buy tacos you could buy
taco bell right you could get you can get food at any stage in the food processing situation right
so if i buy it at its already made stage is that going to be more or less money it's going
to be the most money but what if i get it at the like second stage it's going to be more work
less money if i go further back it's less money more work if i go even further back it's less
money it's more work so as a wife you get to decide sometimes with your husband's discretion
where on all these scales you're going to hit these things and and i'm just saying
as a wife you know this woman she works really hard if you read this passage just constantly
working with her hands constantly putting a lot of labor and effort into her work and you know
i believe that a wife should sometimes consider you know what could i save money by working a
little harder on this task and and maybe that'll help ease a little bit of attention at home help
your husband assist your husband you know i'm i'm not even against women making money theoretically
as long as it's not really prohibiting the her job duties because even this woman in verse 18
she perceived that her merchandise is good her candle goeth not out by night think about what
this woman's doing she's not buying clothes she's making clothes she's not only making clothes she's
selling clothes she's not even just buying food she's making i mean she's buying a field she's
working in the field with her hands she's she has so much abundance she's even giving stuff out to
poor people because she has all this extra you know the proverbs 31 woman to me is not a queen
sitting on a throne getting grapes fed to her she's in the field plucking the grapes and feeding
poor people and you know you say well that sounds like hard work it is but you know what she's also
happy the woman working in the vineyard plucking grapes and feeding poor people has a smile on her
face and the queen sitting in her throne getting fed grapes is dissatisfied content and has rbf
just telling you that's how life is
you say oh i want to be that lady you wouldn't want to be it because as soon as you get to be
that you'd be dissatisfied and discontent and upset i mean look at all the women of our world
that have all the money and all the fame they're not happy women they're not content you know women
women get satisfaction from from their husband being pleased with them and from their children
loving them you know what makes my wife's heart warm when the little kids get hurt and they want
mommy you know that's what makes her feel special you know and they don't want dad they want mom
okay and then that just kind of helps her feel even more special because she's just like you know
my kid they get hurt and they run around the corner they see dad like mom you know it's like
they're like no it's like i didn't want it either okay i'm just kidding
go to psalm in chapter seven my 16 point never criticized his parents
now that's probably hard because i bet you you got a list for his parents
you might have some some zingers you know what it doesn't really help anything it doesn't really
benefit anything just don't criticize his parents 17 try to eat alone with your husband
now i understand that that's difficult so so my my specific advice is is maybe try it once a week
to try and eat alone with your husband and what you could do is you feed the kids earlier in the
evening and then once they're in bed then you'll have like a date night at home that you prepared
so you kind of have you have dinner for the kids but then you have dinner for
your husband and y'all try to eat alone you kind of have you say i want more romance in my life
we'll facilitate it you know no one's stopping you from making all the romance and all the stuff in
your marriage be better and and really in song of solomon if you look at how this woman behaves
herself seems like she's facilitating a lot of the romance look at song of solomon chapter 7 verse 10
i am my beloved's and his desire is toward me come my beloved let us go forth into the field
let us lodge in the villages let us get up early to the vineyards let us see if the vine flourish
whether the tender grape appear and the pomegranates bud forth there will i give thee my loves
the mandrakes give a smell and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits new and old which
new and old which i have laid up for thee oh my beloved notice what this woman says come with me
to my place where i've laid up all of my fruits for you this sounds like she prepared a special
event for her and her husband to go away to that she did everything you know queen esther made the
banquet for her husband he just showed up the the wise woman furnishes her table you just see
this over and over in scripture and nobody understands it's better than than jacob apparently
so you know it's only amens i'm getting in the room 18th point get a hobby or some work or some
skill that you can do together you know as a wife not only should be interested in activity
find an activity to do you know sometimes you you think like oh i want to spend more time with my
husband we'll find something that you guys can do you know what i don't really think it matters what
it is i i'm not saying like there's a specific answer doing doing a puzzle taking a lot together
working out together uh you know some people like to do 5ks together ride bikes together
sometimes people like to write things read books together um go to do certain activities
you know whatever it is i don't really care you know you could learn a language together
you could learn a subject together you could learn some kind of a history subject together
i mean it really to me it doesn't really matter because it's the working together that's going
to make your relationship better the activity is is not that as important i mean in fact it could
be an activity you both don't even like and your marriage will get way better because you'll both
just enjoy all the laughing about how stupid it was and you didn't like it it's like it's not so
much the activities it's doing the stuff together that's important you know and in fact i guarantee
some of your cherished moments even are sometimes things you didn't even like together you both
you reminisce about stupid things or bad things or weird things or remember when we went to this
dumb church remember when this preacher preached this dumb thing or remember how dumb adam fannin
was or you know whatever it is it's like you know it's just you get to share you share those moments
together and you have that camaraderie and you have that closeness you know remember when we
went to this restaurant and it was terrible and you know or whatever the situation is it's just
doing stuff together is important find something to do there's got to be something you can do
together right and like i said it's it's not even so much what is that you're just doing stuff
together 19 don't boss your husband around or tell him what to do around the house keep clear
of strong suggestions or orders you know what you're not your husband's boss and you should
just never play that role you know you know what doesn't happen praise god is dylan never tells me
what to do you know i've never came to work and dylan was like pastor shelley go in your office
now you know pastor shelley clean the carpet now pastor shelley you need to preach this sermon you
know he's never said that to me because he still works for me you know wouldn't that be weird
wouldn't you if if if you know if i was talking to you after the service and dylan just walked
up and said like pastor shelley you need to go and clean my office right now wouldn't you be
kind of horrified wouldn't you be like that was weird like dylan's about to get fired or something
you know but then how is it any weirder when you go home tonight and you start ordering your husband
around oh well he's an employee and i'm a wife well you know what that's just you being prideful
because it's the same it's the same type of relationship when it comes to that circumstance
yeah of course there's differences and i'm not saying there isn't differences but you know it's
not your job to boss your husband around or tell him what to do if he doesn't want to do it he
doesn't have to get over it number 20 read a book on marriage by a good christian author now
i agree with this but i have to be honest i don't have like a just immediate recommendation
the only book i've heard of and i haven't personally read it i've heard from other
people it's pretty good there's a book by john r rice called the home now i've heard though he
does teach in the book specifically that it's okay to divorce your spouse i think for uh fornication
or something like that or he he mixes up fornication adultery don't quote me on that
but he teaches something weird there obviously i would disagree with that if he did teach that but
but i think there's a lot of other good advice in there i think that if there is it there is
material out there that you could find that would be a good idea or maybe even listen to sermons you
know pastor menes pastor anderson some of these other guys have probably a lot of good sermons
on marriage consider just improving your marriage by listening to other good advice from these men
number 21 be home when your husband is home now of course you know i'm not gonna read any more
verses but in song of solomon she's waiting at home for her husband and you know a frustrating
thing sometimes is as a husband coming home and your wife's not there you're wondering why she's
not there there's the miscommunication you know you have so many hours in the day often when your
have so many hours in the day often when your husband's away that you can get things done you
should always organize your day to the best of your ability to be available when your husband's
available because your husband has a limited window of time so if you're always doing everything
when he is available you're just not gonna have a good relationship you should try to organize your
life around his life whenever he's available you're available it's not like oh great now you're home
bye or oh great now you're home i'm gonna do all of my tasks now today finally i'm done looking
at facebook for eight hours now it's time for me to actually do some chores around the house
you know it's like do all the chores around the house while he's gone and then spend all day with
him and get banned from facebook okay how do you do that i don't know but it's pretty easy apparently
number 22 have the chores done when he arrives so again you know i i say this because i've seen it
i've seen couples where the wife and not even in this church as other people is dissatisfied with
her husband wanting to spend time with her or the amount of time they spend together
but then i know for a fact that they're not getting all the chores done when they get home
they're not having the house be prepared i mean if if you have dinner ready at 5 30 every day
on the table hot and fresh you're gonna serve your husband i'm gonna tell you something he's
gonna want to come home at 5 30 but if he walks through the door it's a it's a hurricane
whirlwind and she's she's screaming at him right as soon as he walks through the door everybody's
screaming you know then he's gonna want to go to the wilderness right i mean you gotta think about
how to prepare the home for the king to arrive you know if jesus was going to come to your house
at 5 p.m tomorrow night what would your house look like and smell like and what would you be like
well i would actually clean the house tomorrow and i'd make a really good meal
and i'd be dressed really pretty okay do that treat your husband as you would treat jesus christ
and and then get back to me and tell me how good your marriage is you know it's like well
my marriage isn't going very well but okay try these 22 things you know this is my tips on how
to be a great wife and look to be a great wife is your calling in life for most of you why not be
the best wife you can possibly be fulfill god's role that he has for you in your life
and and i believe that you know marriage is probably
probably the most important institution when it comes to this world you know when marriages fail
everything else fails marriages fail the kids fail church fails when marriages are failing
i mean and if there's one institution the devil is just trying to just wreck havoc on it's marriage
the devil hates marriage people don't want to get married anymore
people are giving up on marriage left and right marriages are being ruined and destroyed
and and why would you think when you look at the train wreck of the world that any of their ways
are working i mean do you really do you really expect me to believe that what is going on out
here is good show me the healthy marriages that exist outside of this church right now
so of course you need to submit yourself and trust in the lord and realize if i want to have
a great marriage i got to do this and nuts to if everybody else has a bad marriage that's their
problem but you know what as for me and my husband we're going to have a good marriage and you know
what i guarantee you do these 22 things you're going to have a great marriage
you know you say oh my husband's a loser well did you read first peter chapter three
and even if he is you know you're the exception and i'm sure jesus will reward you greatly for
being a great wife to a bad guy i don't think that jesus is going to going to be mad at you
for being such a great wife to such a loser so why does it matter anyways you're going to get
rewarded eternally for it so let's close in prayer thank you heavenly father for our church
thank you for the women in this room thank you for making help meets what a wonderful gift
thank you for making help meets what a wonderful gift and a blessing a wife is
i pray that those women in this room that that have heard the preaching would not
look down upon the role of a wife would not think that being a wife is a worthless occupation or
worthless role but rather they'd realize it's it's their calling it's what you've designed them for
and that they have a capability of being a great help meet under their husband i pray that you
would encourage them as they try to serve their husbands i pray that you would give them joy you
give them satisfaction you'd give them patience you would help them with their daily struggles
you'd help them with the right attitude i pray that you would just give them wisdom from the
bible and from their husband and that you'd help their marriages to to be the best they
possibly can be in jesus name we pray amen
all right in closing if you would grab your hymnals and turn to page 56 when we all get to
heaven 56. that's page 56 when we all get to heaven
56 sing the wondrous love of jesus sing his mercy and his grace in the mansions bright and blessed
he'll prepare for us a place when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be
when we all see jesus we'll sing and shout the victory
while we walk the pilgrim pathway clouds will overspread the sky but when traveling days are
over not a shadow not a sign when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be
when we all see jesus we'll sing and shout the victory
let us then be true and faithful trusting serving every day just one glimpse of him and glory
will the toys of life repay when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be
will be when we all see jesus we'll sing and shout the victory
onward to the prize before us soon his beauty will be home soon the pearly gates will open
