Being a Christian wife is the most wonderful, peaceful and joyful thing that I can be. Everyone has a called role, a destiny if you will, to do what is right and holy by the standards set forth by God himself. One only has to look as far as the Bible to see what it means to be a Christian wife. In a world where there are so many different interpretations of the Bible, it is hard to determine just what being a Christian Wife means. A woman today must be careful when determining what that means. One must only take the issue to God and be obedient of what he says in His Word. Being a Christian wife means being submissive to our husbands. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." (Proverbs14:1)

As Christian wives, we probably believe that we are incapable of plucking or tearing down our homes. We immediately want to believe that we are the women of wisdom that's mentioned in the first part of this scripture as opposed to the foolish one mentioned in the latter part. However, without realizing it, most of us fall into the foolish category. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1Jn 2:27)

As we become wives, one of the first lessons that God begins to teach us is that you are no longer (in a spiritual sense) considered separate "individuals". God sees you as one. Just as your limbs are an extension of you, after you become married, your spouse becomes an extension of who you are. As a single person, you think for yourself and your decisions and actions apply to and affect you as an individual. However once you marry, your decisions and actions affect your spouse as well as you.
