Conduct Check!
On Sunday, May 19th I had a great time meeting and greeting people outside the FBCG bookstore. I was amazed at the number of people who knew me but did not know about Marriage From A to Z. One lady stood out in particular because she wanted to know if there was anything in the book that could help her with her husband who doesn’t want to “do right.” Her example was he did not want to come to church with her. I responded by telling her the book is loaded with things she could do to make a difference in her marriage. 1 Peter 3:1 “Wives be submissive to your husbands, when he does not obey the Word he can be won by your conduct.” So my question to her and my question to you is “How is your conduct towards your husband?” Would God be pleased, or do you need to make an adjustment?
Great reminder to check ourselves before we go complaining about someone else’s behavior!
Yes and our doing right should not be dependent on our spouses meeting our every expectation. We have to answer to God for our behavior and our consistency will win over our husbands.
