Bagaimana istri menolong suami tanpa berusaha mengcover suami yang belum sanggup mengambil peran ? Apakah engkau melihat pernikahanmu utuh, atau melihatnya seperti apa yang engkau harapkan ?
[Efesus 5 : 22 – 23] Hai isteri, tunduklah kepada suamimu seperti kepada Tuhan, karena suami adalah kepala isteri sama seperti Kristus adalah kepala jemaat. Dialah yang menyelamatkan tubuh.
Pernikahan adalah inisiasi Tuhan dan Tuhan yang akan bertanggungjawab. Prinsip dalam pernikahan, suami adalah kepala (covering rohani), istri adalah tubuh (penolong) yang menopang suami untuk bisa berperan. Sebagai istri, perlu mendoakan suami, memberi ruang dan mengizinkan suami dibapai ulang. Istri boleh menolong mengambil peran dengan sikap hati yang benar. Amin.
How can a wife support her husband without trying to control him when he’s not ready to take on his role? Do you see your marriage as it is, or as you expect it to be?
[Ephesians 5:22-23] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Marriage is initiated by God, and God will take responsibility. The principle in marriage is that the husband is the head (spiritual covering), and the wife is the body (helper) that supports the husband in his role. As a wife, it’s essential to pray for your husband, give him space, and allow him to be shaped by God. A wife can support and help her husband with the right attitude. Amen.
