I'vs actually been researching this subject for a couple days. Some like to only speak of the role of a woman and some only like to speak of the role of a man. But to have a full understanding and actually have a relationship that works and is perfect in God's eyes, one must understand both roles. When I have brought up these verses separate on facebook., You will see the female like the verse that say the men role, and men only like the verses that tell how a woman suppose to act. Now before any understanding, one should look at Genesis 2:21-23 which reads,
"And the lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and he brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bones of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she has taken out of Man."
Now I am going further tell why man is suppose to be protective of woman, and love them like they love their own body, and why woman is suppose to be submissive to men. But that example is already been proven in this verse, but most people want more proof. But woman came from the body of man, why would they not be protective and love them like their own body. And Woman came from man, and was put on this earth to keep man company. First chapter of the bible it defines the roles of both sex. But I am going to go in deeper, for those who feel there should be equality in the relationship.Now you think back to Genesis 2:9 which reads,
"And out the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
Alright you read that now look at Genesis 2:15-17
"Then the lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God command the man saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die"
Now everyone knows what happen, But the key to that verse is God told man about the tree. The reason things went wrong is because man did not do his job. He did not take authority of the situation, he knew what God said, but still let woman talk him into eating. That the same in every relationship, most relationship will fall to pieces when man does not take authority of the relationship, and if it does not fall, it is a stressful relationship. Now lets look at where it talks about the role of man and woman again, in 1 Corinthian 11:9-12 reads,
"Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God."
Now this verse speaks of mutual respect between both parties. It is not saying that relationship should be 50/50, it is reestablishing that woman came from man. to reestablish the fact that it is not 50/50, lets look at 1 Timothy 2:11-15,
"Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will e saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control."
Once again it is reestablishing that man should have authority. Now I said im not going just talk about the role of the woman. Now Ephesians 5:22-25 reads,
"Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the lord. For the husband is head of the wife. as also Christ is head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. Therefore just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husband, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her,"
Once again it speaks both roles, the husband is to love the wife as if he loves Christ. And once again it mentions that a woman is to be submit to the husband. Now if you stay with Ephesians 5:28-29 which reads,
"So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the lord does the church."
Now I believe that verse speaks for itself. The next verse is also for men. In life we have men who loved their mothers too much and put their mothers before their relationship. Ephesians 5:31 reads,
"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh"
A man is suppose to leave both parents and accept his role as a husband to his wife. His main concern from there on out is to his wife first. Now the bible also speaks on sex in a marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 reads,
"Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And like wise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of lack of self-control."
Now, that is another thing in relationships, cheating. According to this verse cheating can be prevented, and can stop the devil from entering one relationship with temptations. So when there is cheating in the relationship, it is because God is minus from this relationship. But Adultery is different from men and women, and I am not going go into that in this blog...Now the other thing that needs to be known is, only one person in a relationship has to be link to God. Read 1 Corinthians 7:12-14,
"But to the rest I, not the Lord, say; If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy."
I'm going continue this Blog later because I actually lost my train of thought. But the next blog will talk about when are you married in God's eyes. And what is acceptable in God's eye to divorce.
