Defining a woman’s role in the marriage relationship can be a challenging thing in the CHURCH today.
Why is this true?
One of the most obvious reasons is that many of us are listening to the multitude of opinions in the world today without upholding the truth that God has declared in the Scripture. Popular opinion is not where we should look to as Christians to find direction for the Woman's role as a wife in the marriage covenant.
The Lord God said,
“It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18
Looking at the positioning of a woman in the life of a man as designed by God tells us that the woman is a very important personality in the man's life for just as God helps us become who he wants us to be, so is the woman in the man's life. The woman must not be treated as a slave or a property. She is not an inferior creation but a needed person created to perfect God's plan. The right-hand glove was not created for the left hand.
Likewise, a woman is not the same as a man but is the counterpart to him which enables the two to function together. Both Adam and Eve were created with a specific divine purpose in mind.
