A Wife's Ten Commandments
1. You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind; and you shall love your husband as yourself.
2. You shall not make
your husband into an idol, but you shall love, honor, respect and submit
to him as unto the Lord.
3. You shall not take
your husband's name in vain through gossip, slander, criticism, complaint
or mockery; but you shall bless him both privately and publicly.
4. You shall work heartily
as unto the Lord and as directed by Him and your husband, not by your own
ideas of what should be done. You shall not be so busy working, however,
that you neglect to get alone with God every day. During this quiet time,
you shall pray diligently for your husband. You shall also be willing to
put aside work in order to "play" when your husband asks you.
5. You shall honor your
mother and father, but you shall not elevate their position or opinions above
your husband's.
6. You shall not resent
or revile or hate your husband, but you shall grant him grace, forgiveness
and mercy.
7. You shall not commit
adultery, nor shall you think lustfully toward another man; but you shall
thank God for your husband and be pleased with him.
8. You shall not steal
from your husband. You shall not steal his marriage by threatening divorce.
You shall not steal his wife by leaving him alone all the time. You shall
not steal his spiritual leadership by taking control. You shall not steal
his time by placing unnecessary demands on him. You shall not steal his joy
by complaining or moping. You shall not steal his peace by endless nagging.
You shall also not steal glances from other men by wearing provocative clothes
and causing them to stumble. This defrauds your husband of an honorable wife,
the other man of pure thoughts, and the man's wife of her husband's faithfulness.
9. You shall not lie to
your husband, but you shall speak the truth in love. You shall also practice
a quiet and gentle spirit.
10. You shall not covet
another woman's husband, her children, her friends, her house, her decorating
style, her garden, her looks, her wardrobe, her possessions, her talents
and gifts, her ministry, or any other thing that is hers; but you shall be
content with all God has given to you.
