There are many areas where your wife may struggle—
She may fail at domestic duties; you can get her a helper.
She may fail in business; that’s not the end of the world.
She may even struggle socially; it’s okay.
But as long as she does not fail in how she speaks to you, the marriage will thrive.
Teach her to speak to you as recommended by the scriptures.
Don’t dismiss it as unimportant. If God created you, and He made recommendations for how your wife should address you, then that’s the only way it can work best.
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord."
(Ephesians 5:22)
Other men may tolerate being spoken to casually or even disrespectfully, but that doesn't make it right. Let her speak to you like her Lord, not like her son.
"Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well."
(1 Peter 3:6)
Sarah was extremely careful with her words when speaking to Abraham. She called him “my lord.” While your wife may not use that exact word, you should feel that level of honor when she speaks to you.
A man’s home is the place where he is truly a king.
And yes, a wife is a queen—but every real queen considers her king as her lord.
Before she speaks to you, she should factor in your sense of value. Even Jezebel, though wicked, understood this principle—she hailed Ahab before telling him what she wanted. That’s the charm of a woman: honoring her husband opens his heart to her.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
(Proverbs 15:1)
She must be discreet with her words and speak like a lady—with gentleness and tenderness.
"She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
(Proverbs 31:26)
But if your woman does not love you enough, or does not value the divine order, none of the above will work. She’ll intentionally do the opposite to frustrate or spite you.
Women who are intentional about dishonoring men should not be married.
To marry is to enthrone a man in your life. If that sounds like "rubbish" to you, then don’t marry.
But if you do choose marriage, be willing to *submit* and learn how to speak to your husband like a queen.
Watch royal movies, see how real queens carry themselves—they don't shout, insult, or belittle their kings.
"It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman."
(Proverbs 21:19)
If you are quarrelsome, or you enjoy challenging men in everything, marriage is not for you. If you do marry, it will end bitterly.
God bless you.
