HOW IMPORTANT ARE WOMEN IN THE MAINTENANCE OF A HOME

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;1 Peter 3:1

1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
That is the advised of the Apostle to us; but would you know that even if how saintly a man is, his home would still be a ruin if he has a foolish wife or wives?
Quite hard to find a virtues woman or women, right? Right! Proverbs 31 says so!
Many men made sure that when they married they were equally yoke in their faith; but to their surprise their marriage ends in divorce or separation. What happened? They did not know that a lot of women whether believers or believers were wired to destroy their homes with the mindset that the Mother of Harlots and the spell of jezebel had injected into their minds through the false system of the world. These women thinks they are godly and religious, but the fact is, their attitudes and thinking if compared with the Holy Women of old, they are a world apart! Thus is it any wonder that the families are breaking apart; and that the families that are breaking apart are the NUCLEAR FORM OF FAMILY?
Nuclear form of family is a family with one husband, one wife and several children. This form of family is a recent development. For previously our societies were patriarchal were the Biblical model were followed; with men leading their household and free to add other wives thus a man can have several wives. And if a wife begins to wax wanton against her husband necessary measures was within the husband arsenal to discipline such a wayward wife. The household could not be greatly affected since their were other wives and concubines who would still be there to maintain the household. But nowadays with the false doctrine that it is a sin and disloyalty for man to add a wife, the household of any is an easy prey for the devil’s ploy! Woe to the man who have an only wife and that wife begins to wax wanton against him! His tears and cold from his running nose will mixed from his anguish and broken heart.
So if societies want to preserve the families let us go back to the biblical model!
