Characteristics of a Godly Wife

1. Characteristic of a Biblical wife is maintaining Perseverance/Patience. Remember those vows from your wedding day?For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part? Did you really mean that or did you mean just until things got a little bad and then I’m out of here. Because let’s face it, we don’t like feeling uncomfortable, struggling, or being unhappy. Once any of those things happens, our flesh immediately wants out of that situation. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9. But remember you and I are not 100% delightful, 100% of the time. We have our own weaknesses and poor character traits, so if you want your spouse to be patient and forgiving with you……you should probably treat him the same way.

2. Characteristic of a godly wife is having biblical priorities. It can be easy in this day in age to become busy and distracted with life. We must be intentional with creating time for prayer, worship, and devotional time. That time that we spend with God will help strengthen our spiritual health and improve our relationship with God.To have biblical priorities we must think about what is important to God. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Matthew 22:36-38. The most important thing for God is our relationship with him. So stay focused on the Lord and everything else will fall into place.

3. As godly wives, we should be constantly demonstrating our Hope and Joy. Nothing says fake christian louder than a grumpy and angry woman. Even though Jesus tells us that we will suffer many things in this life, we will also experience great hope and joy, whether that’s from our earthly circumstances or looking forward to our eternal ones. Not every season of marriage is destined to be hard. There are many seasons of marriage filled with personal growth that help bring you and your spouse closer together. We must also be careful when saying God wants us to be happy. Well, that’s kinda true. He calls us to be holy and honoring to him. Through our seeking of God and continuing to be obedient, is where true happiness is found. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28. If we truly believe this verse then walking through trials and temptations gives us a whole new outlook on our hope and joy for the future. We know that God is a good and loving father, ultimately He wants what is best for us and our relationship with Him.
