at 845am on a sunday morning, we learnt the biggest lesson of our life- HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE.
taught by t chiew yen. haha. how apt.

ephesians 5

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
30 For we are members of His body,[d] of His flesh and of His bones.

31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[e]
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

submission is not a sign of weakness-its a sign of love. voluntary, not forced submission. and the command to the husband is likewise. to your wife, and guard her purity with all that he is. and i think if you have a husband who guards your purity, loves and cherishes, it cant be that hard to submit. haha. so you see it goes both ways. woman arent lesser- we just play different roles in the family unit. hahah when t chiew yen started on how husbands shd guard the purity of their wives she gave us her most exasperated expression and went "YOU KNOW GIRLS! there are guys who...[rattles on about the perverse minds and evilness of 80% of the male population]" and do not be cheated by them. nuh-uh. never settle for anything less.

haha. that was my good wives lesson of the week. now i need to be a good company law student. bye.
