Eight Things Godly Wives Should Do!


Here is a list of eight things godly wives should learn to do!

They need to learn to cook. In order to have nourishing food for your family, you must learn to cook. You also need to study nutrition and ways to keep the body healthy. Fixing food from scratch at home is much healthier than going out to eat where you have no idea what is going into your food. It is also the cheapest way to eat healthy.

They also need to learn to clean. There was an article out recently that found that clutter leads to depression in women. God is a God of order and beauty. When there is too much clutter, it means you are too attached to worldly possessions. We don't need so much stuff. Get rid of the stuff you don't use. Learn to clean with non-toxic cleaners. Train yourself to keep your home neat and tidy.

She can learn to fix his plate. My daughter, Cassi, loves to fix Ryan his plate. She asks him what he wants and she fixes it just like he likes it. Every night, I fix Ken's salad with all the fixings just like he likes it. It is a simple way to serve our husbands and remember that the greatest of all is the servant of all. If Jesus could wash His disciples feet, you can serve your husband!

A godly woman watches her mouth. No unwholesome word comes out of it. She learns to tame her tongue. She definitely doesn't use foul language and she is learning to think before she speaks. She works on speaking words of life and encouragement to others and about them.

We should also compliment our husbands. We should be their biggest cheerleaders. We aren't called to put them in their place but to build them up. They care more about our opinions than anybody else's. I have to tell you, I am not very good at this, but I am getting better since I truly do appreciate him so much!

Take good care of yourself and look nice for your man. Men are very visual and most enjoy seeing their wives look good. Way too many women don't care how they look anymore. Do the best with what you have been given. Also, make sure you are modest in what you wear; the money you spend on clothes shouldn't be excessive and the clothes need to cover your body. 

Finally, to sum it all up, I love these words of Nancy Campbell,  "Many mothers seek to be fashionable mothers, trendy mothers, career mothers, or fitting in with the world mothers, but we have a great need for holy mothers. To be a holy mother is not so popular, but holy mothers are powerful mothers. Without holy mothers we will not have holy children. Without holy children and holy homes we cannot have holy churches. And without holy churches we definitely will not have a holy nation."

Who can find a virtuous woman? 
for her price is far above rubies.

Wonderful post! Thank you so much for the encouragement to be the best wife I can be to my husband!
This is such great advice! Related to learning to cook and fixing his plate, I'd also add learning to cook his favorite meals and packing his lunch to bring to work. These two things mean a lot to my husband, in addition to the other great advice you shared!
This list in one way is so simple, but so profound too!.

Thank you Lori and I hope you are improving daily.

Blessings to you

Lori, this is one excellent post! (Not to mention all your others.):) I love the specifics and it is so motivating! Thank you for encouraging us to always do better.

I found a blog about which you ladies may already know. It's very inspiring. It's called The Housewife's Craft by Peace at Home - Daniel's wife.

I pray your health is improving day by day.
I love this post and the many examples of servanthood. I've watched my mother in law serve my father in law who is an extremely lazy man and have listened to her very sad stories. His children, my husband, have discussed how they don't want to be like their father because he is so lazy. My mother in law serves him his coffee, lunch, dinner and does everything else within the household. She has a beautiful servants heart and even though she serves him he treats her horribly. My husband actually told me he does not want me to serve him in this way. He said (in a loving way) that he is a big boy and that he can make his own lunch and likes to make his own plate and would like it if I wouldn't serve him the way his mom serves his dad. Although I am home with the kids and homeschool as well, my husband comes home and rests while I cook dinner but if he sees that I have a lot to do then he is up and helping me. I come from a believing family where my parents served each other. My dad was a deacon, youth pastor and they both counseled others within our church when the need arose. I watched them serve each other. And now as a retired couple they have worked out how things will be done with my dad being home such as who will vacuum, laundry, dishwasher etc. It's amazing how different many men can be due to how they were raised and how they viewed their own parents. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful posts and insight.
I can't thank God enough that somehow I found your blog as I browse Pinterest yesterday! All the posts of yours that I read so far are align with my personal conviction of what a Godly woman looks like, but I have never found anything like this before on the internet. I thank you for your courage to swim against the current of feminist sea! May God empower you even more through His grace. Amen.
