Marriage is a lifelong commitment, entered into voluntarily between two parties. So as young women of God we should have a heart that is fully committed and sold out to Christ.
Putting God first is a must. This is highlighted in scripture when we are commanded to love God with all of our heart, soul and strength (Deut 6:5). Love brings about a response and must change the way that we are as women. I believe truly loving God means living the lifestyle of a sold out worshipper. God should be your first and top priority. He is the main man and should be first in your life.
The Bible instructs wives to submit themselves to their own husbands as they do to the Lord (Eph 5:22). How we submit to our earthly husbands parallels how we should submit to Christ in all things. Being married to the main man means not doing things our way, but God’s way as He is the head. We can confidently be subject to Him because He knows best.
Being married to the main man should not be an ‘extra marital affair’. As some husbands do feel that Christ has stolen their wives! So it is important to not compartmentalise our relationship with Christ and neglect our earthly duties. Christ is Lord of all! Not just our secret chambers, prayer meetings and worship times.
Being a part of the bride of Christ should produce a spirit of gentleness (1 Pet 3:4). This should change how you interact with your children, friends, brethren, colleagues and employers. Being married to the main man benefits everyone around you and allows you to be the best woman you can be!
