Marriage Advice for Women

by RAKI WRIGHT

I want to share this marriage advice for women to help them honor, protect, respect, and enjoy their commitment.

Marriage Advice for Women - Marriage advice for women may look different than marriage advice one would give a man. That’s because women are different than men. Therefore, the Bible gives different roles to women than it does men. Here are 10 pieces of very wise marriage advice for women. | OutsideTheBoxMom.com

Marriage advice for women may look different than marriage advice one would give a man. That’s because women are different than men. Therefore, the Bible gives different roles to women than it does men. In fact, the Bible says “wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord” and “husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church” in Ephesians 5:22-33.

I’ve gathered suggestions from over 10 sources that will provide very wise marriage advice for women.

Becoming a Joyful Wife | Crystal & Comp

Becoming joyful is a choice. Every day, when you wake up decide that you are going to choose joy and be thankful. “A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing” {Proverbs 17:22}. Begin dwelling on the things you love about your husband. What are the qualities that caused you to fall in love with him? Is he a good provider? Does he work hard for the family? Is he a good father? Is he faithful to you? If you can answer yes to all of those questions, you’ve married a very good man! There are many single women out there who would love to have a man like yours.

Are Wives Supposed to Obey Their Husbands?| Crystal & Comp

I challenge you women to begin being a help meet to your husband. As I have written before, begin smiling at him and treating him with the respect and kindness he deserves as your husband. Stop arguing with him and allow him to lead. This is the way God intended marriages to function and since He created us and marriage, He definitely knows the best way for marriages to thrive.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church. -Ephesians 5:23

Love Notes for Your Husband | A Virtuous Woman

So, I thought it’d be fun to come up with a list of little sayings you can text to your husband. Or even little messages you could leave on little notes where he’ll find them.

You can print these out and place them in your This is My Life Planner or household notebook!

write it on the bathroom mirror
stick a post-it note to his steering wheel
put a note in his lunch bag

Write love notes to your husband | Money Saving Mom

Writing love notes is just one of the little ways I seek to invest in our marriage on a regular basis. It’s simple, it doesn’t require much time, and it doesn’t cost anything, but my love notes often are a huge boost to my husband’s day. They let him know that I care, that I appreciate him, and that I’m thinking of him as I go throughout my day.

Keeping the Home Fires Burning | Always Learning

…the simple acts of staying home and having something cooking for our husbands when they return home… are at the very core of their lives and are motivations for them while they’re out slaying dragons. {I would add having something literally cooking on the stove when they get home to this basic list as well!}

Your Covenant Sustains Your Marriage | Always Learning

Secondly, don’t ever speak negatively about your husband. Ruth Bell Graham advised wives to “tell your mate the positive, and tell God the negative.” Remind yourself that NO man has ever crawled out from under his wife’s criticism to become a better man, as Debi Pearl wrote. Instead of criticizing your husband, pray for him and dwell on what you love about him. You did choose to marry him and there were qualities that attracted you to him, remember?

The Way to a Man’s Heart…| Simple Christian Living

If you are married to a man who receives love through acts of service, I assure you, everything you do is appreciated! Every little thing you do is noticed even when it isn’t always noted. Don’t be discouraged and don’t stop what you’re doing! The language of your love is being heard loud and clear. But it is ok to pray God will help him be a little more OUTWARDLY appreciative of all the things he inwardly appreciates

Love Messages For Husband | Simple Christian Living

Pray for boldness and courage to speak the words your husband needs to hear. Don’t let fear stop you! Take a moment to sit down with your husband, look him in the eye and tell him how you feel. … Yet, if your husband’s love language is “words of affirmation” he is starving for intimacy in your relationship; he needs to hear how you feel!

4 Ways to Become Your Husband’s Best Friend | Women Living Well

  1. Start by making a list of the qualities you look for in a friend.
  2. Add attributes or actions that you know are important to your 
husband.
  3. Work on cultivating these qualities in yourself and visualizing them
 in your marriage relationship.
  4. Seek the Lord in prayer asking specifically for wisdom, strength and 
perseverance.

Letting Your Husband Lead | Women Living Well

Often times there is contention in marriage because there’s an innate battle for headship. We want our opinions, our rights and our ways to be followed through in the home.

There’s only one answer to solve the problem…

Christ.

In Ephesians 5, the husbands are commanded to love their wives – like Christ loves the church.

And in this same passage, wives are commanded to follow their husband as the head of the home, as the church –follows Christ.

A Letter To All Wives | Time Warp Wife

You will be the wife you desire to be, but it happens over time! You will learn and mature through experience. With each and every circumstance you encounter and in every interaction you face with your husband, you will learn how to navigate the journey of marriage. Do not be overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacies or doubt. Expect challenges with the perspective that each one will force you to evaluate your role as a wife and how your decision making affects every aspect of your marriage.

What’s is your best marriage advice for women?

Date night is more important than ever, once you're married. It's easy to want to spend time together when you're first dating or just falling in love. What's more challenging is carving out time together once you're married, with a job (or two), and kids.

    A great collection of tips! I also wrote on this topic this week (5 Ways to Serve Your Spouse Today). Love involves service and sacrifice, which can be quite counter-cultural. Thanks for the encouragement!

    This is a great compilation. Seems like the biggest trend is not getting comfortable and stuck in old ways, letting life take over. But to remember your love, remember the sweet things we used to do, and remember the foundations of marriage. Not to just be roommates!

    Great advice, that can sometimes be hard to follow in today’s society. As women, we are often made to feel if we chose to stay home to be a mom/wife, we aren’t “women” enough. I also think it is equally as important for a husband to respect and listen to his wive. When there is mutual respect a relationship is much happier.

    Hi,

    Wow, this hit close to home. My ex-spouse of 6 years came out to me as transgender the day we came home from a vacation. I did my best to be supportive, but it wasn’t a life I wanted and I asked for a divorce. We’d already been on rocky terms and our marriage had deteriorated over the years. The whole thing threw me for a loop – it was hard to go through and come out of, but I did. My experience was similar to this author’s; looking back I noticed some signs, but I wasn’t aware of them until after the fact.love
