The Scriptures provide guidance on the nature of marriage, the relationship between husbands and wives, and the virtues expected of a wife. Creation and Purpose The concept of a wife is introduced in the creation narrative. In <a href="/genesis/2-18.htm">Genesis 2:18</a>, God declares, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper." This passage highlights the complementary role of the wife as a partner and helper to her husband. Eve, the first woman, is created from Adam's rib, symbolizing equality and unity (<a href="/genesis/2-21.htm">Genesis 2:21-24</a>). Marriage as a Covenant Marriage is depicted as a sacred covenant between a man and a woman. <a href="/malachi/2-14.htm">Malachi 2:14</a> refers to the wife as "your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant." This covenantal relationship is meant to reflect the faithfulness and commitment that God has with His people. Virtues of a Wife Proverbs 31 provides a detailed description of a virtuous wife, often referred to as the "Proverbs 31 woman." She is characterized by strength, dignity, wisdom, and industriousness. <a href="/proverbs/31-10.htm">Proverbs 31:10-12</a> states, "A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will lack nothing of value. She brings him good and not harm all the days of her life." Role and Responsibilities The New Testament further elaborates on the role of wives within the Christian household. <a href="/ephesians/5-22.htm">Ephesians 5:22-24</a> instructs, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." This submission is understood as a voluntary and respectful yielding, reflecting the order and harmony intended in marriage. Mutual Love and Respect While the Bible emphasizes the wife's submission, it equally commands husbands to love their wives sacrificially. <a href="/ephesians/5-25.htm">Ephesians 5:25-28</a> exhorts husbands to "love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her." This mutual love and respect create a balanced and nurturing environment within the marriage. Challenges and Redemption The Bible acknowledges the challenges that can arise in marriage. In <a href="/1_peter/3.htm">1 Peter 3:1-2</a>, wives are encouraged to be respectful and pure in their conduct, even if their husbands do not believe, so that they may be won over by their behavior. This highlights the transformative power of a wife's faith and character. Conclusion The biblical portrayal of wives encompasses a blend of partnership, virtue, and mutual respect within the marriage covenant. Through the Scriptures, wives are called to embody qualities that honor God and strengthen the marital relationship.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
