The
Biblical View of a Wife
Why did God create women?
The world has a very twisted view of the role of a woman, specifically that of
a wife. But the Bible gives a very honorable and marvelous description of what
a godly woman can be for a righteous man. Not only are we as women the perfect
complement and companion for man, we are his helper.
The first woman was named
Eve, which literally means “Helper.” For us, the term helper might be less than
complimentary and perhaps imply someone of lesser value who does menial tasks.
But the original Hebrew meaning is far more than someone who assists a person.
A wife meets three vital needs in her husband’s life: Physical, Emotional, and
Spiritual.
This help is that which no
one else can provide. A wife meets her husband’s physical, emotional, and
spiritual needs as no one else can. Can you imagine a more wonderful
relationship on earth? We truly have been given a high privilege and enjoyable,
challenging task.
Girls who are still single
can also apply these concepts to meeting the needs of their brothers for
companionship. Truly, it is not good for man to be alone.
These concepts were taken
from a lecture by Dr. William Marty at Moody Bible Institute,

A
wife is a treasure to be kept safe so I lock you in my arms.
A
wife is a beam of sunshine where there is none.
So
I gaze upon you.
A
wife is the giver of life, so I gladly die for her
So
that my children may live beside her.
A
wife is courage so
When
mine fails I think of her and can carry on.
A
wife is love, so that I may love through her.
A
wife is wisdom so that my children and myself may
harvest knowledge from her.
A
wife is to be protected so I give her all that I have.
A
wife is an Angel brought to me from Heaven so that I may find God through her.
