“TO LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS”

Titus 2.4

God’s Word says, 

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” 

That is what Solomon wrote in Proverbs 18.22.

Though not all men should marry, those men who do marry, and who have found a good wife to marry, have found someone good, and “obtaineth favour of the LORD.” A man is truly blessed by God to be married to a good Christian wife. I have previously delivered messages from God’s Word devoted to a husband’s love.[1] But because the subject is so vast, and would take up so much time, I will have to limit my comments here to only the most superficial introduction to a woman’s calling to be a wife, and to the subject of her love for her husband. That, my friends, is the proper prelude to motherhood.

Our culture is in such a sad state of feminist decline, with the spiritual darkness and chaos that is upon us causing so much damage, that not only do most men have no idea how to be the husbands and spiritual leaders God has called them to be, but we see wives these days who think they are good wives just because their husbands are happy with them.

Please think about that for a moment. Women, who claim to be Christian women, are satisfied with themselves and pleased as punch with what they are doing, just because their husbands are happy with them. Incredible. No thought is given to whether or not God is pleased with them. No attention is paid to whether or not Scripture is being obeyed. No. This man seems to be happy. Therefore, all is well. May I remind you that Ahab was happily married to his wife, Jezebel?

Wives need to remember that their husbands did not die on the cross for them. Wives need to remember that it is not that man who must ultimately be pleased by her life and service, but God. So, to remind you wives, and to prepare those of you who will someday be wives, I have developed a short catechism.

“What is a catechism, Pastor?” Allow me to answer that question in two parts: First, it is a sorry state of affairs that so many Christians and Churches do not make use of catechisms, as had been the practice of so many in days gone by. Not knowing what a catechism is, however, is not your fault. The fault lies with your pastor and with your parents. It is past time to remedy that neglect. Second, a catechism can either be a form of oral instruction employing questions and answers, or a handbook of instruction, comprised of a summary of the principles of religion or the fundamentals of the faith.[2] For years I have led our Church to use “Spurgeon’s Catechism,” which I recommend.[3]

Let us return to the message from God’s Word that focuses on being a wife, which is a crucial aspect of motherhood and worthy of our attention on Mother’s Day in the form of a catechism. 

QUESTION #1: What Is A Wife’s Place?

ANSWER: A Wife’s Place Is Subordinate To Her Husband. 

First Corinthians 11.1-10: 

1  Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2  Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

3  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

4  Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5  But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6  For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

7  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8  For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

9  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 

This passage addresses the concept of what I refer to as the functional hierarchy that exists in God’s grand scheme, with the Lord Jesus Christ being subordinate to God the Father though not inferior to Him, and the wife is subordinate to the husband though not inferior to him.

Drawing upon some cultural practices then current in Corinth to illustrate and reinforce the principal he is asserting, the point that the Apostle Paul makes in this passage is straightforward: God’s plan is for every wife to be ruled by her husband and for every wife actually to conduct herself as though her husband rules over her.

This is something every woman needs to keep in mind when she contemplates marriage. “When I marry this man, I need to remember that I am for him, but he is not in a corresponding manner for me.” That’s what verse 9 teaches. And verse 10? 

“For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.” 

Who are the angels referred to here? Angels like Gabriel and Michael? Or angels like the pastors referred to in Revelation chapters 1, 2, and 3? I don’t think the angel Gabriel needs for women to be ruled over by their husbands. But I can tell you that a great many of my pastoral headaches over the decades were rather closely related to wimpy husbands who would not provide proper leadership for their wives. So, I think I am being referred to in First Corinthians 11.10. This verse refers to a wife’s place. A godly wife occupies her God-ordained position. 

QUESTION #2: What Is A Wife’s Pleasure?

ANSWER: A Wife’s Concern Should Be How She May Please Her Husband. 

In Genesis 3.16, God said these words to Eve following her sin of eating the forbidden fruit and then giving the fruit to Adam to eat: 

“I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” 

I mentioned the husband’s rule over his wife in a previous message. I also mentioned a wife’s sorrow previously. But I have not yet mentioned a wife’s desire. God said, 

“thy desire shall be to thy husband.” 

What does this phrase mean? Does this mean a wife’s desire will always be to please her husband? That is not the meaning, because so many wives have no desire whatsoever to please their husbands. What the venerable Baptist pastor and theologian John Gill thought this means, and I think he is right in his understanding, is that whatever a wife wants is always somehow connected to her husband.[4] To phrase it another way, it is not possible for a wife’s desire to be entirely disconnected from her husband, but will always somehow relate to him.

In First Corinthians 7.34, Paul issued a declaration about the married Christian woman: 

“The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.” 

Thus, women in general who are married are spiritually connected to their husbands. Whether they are a help or a hindrance in this connection is not stated. But a Christian woman who is married will, by virtue of her virtues, by reason of her relationship with God, care “for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.” Is that good, or is that bad? Paul does not say whether it is good or bad. He only states the reality of the relationship that exists with a Christian wife. How profoundly important it is, therefore, for a wife to be married to a Christian man and not a Christ-less man. 

QUESTION #3: What Prominence Should A Wife Have?

ANSWER: A Wife’s Prominence Should Not Overshadow Her Husband

Do you get an idea of God’s will in this matter from what we read in Genesis 3, and First Corinthians 11, where a wife’s functional subordination to her husband is so clearly set forth? Should there not be some practical outworking of this functional hierarchy in the way a woman lives her life?

Concerning public worship in the congregation of Jesus Christ, we know from First Timothy 2.12 that a woman should not be prominent: 

“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 

As well, First Corinthians 14.34-35 is very clear: 

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 

In the home, the husband is to rule. In the Church, reflecting God’s plan for the home, and reinforcing God’s plan for the home, a wife is to occupy a role that is secondary to her husband and publicly less prominent than the role he occupies. Tragically, this approach is not reflected in most Church ministries.

Does this mean that the wife of a deadhead bump on a log who does not serve God should sit and do nothing in the Church? Not at all. It means that insofar as it is reasonably possible, a wife needs to demonstrate her willingness to subordinate herself to her husband’s spiritual leadership. She should seek to avoid prominence over her husband at home and in public. This is not the same as a wife pretending to be dead. 

QUESTION #4: What Personality Should A Wife Cultivate?

ANSWER: Not All Personalities Are Created Equal. God Prefers The Meek And Quiet Spirit. 

The capacity of a wife to avoid prominence in overshadowing her husband is related to two things: First, it is related to who she chose to marry. An over the top gregarious woman who marries a shrinking violet type of husband has only herself to blame if she feels emotionally confined and restrained to please God. The standard for her behavior is the man she chose to marry. Second, it is related to her ability to exercise wisdom and exhibit discretion in her relationship with her husband.

In First Peter 3.4 we read, 

“a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 

Thus, the Apostle Peter declares that what pleases God is a wife whose personality exhibits a meek and quiet spirit. But what is a meek and quiet spirit? Meekness, of course, is part of the fruit of the Spirit, so meekness is what occurs when the Spirit of God works in a wife’s personality. “Quiet” speaks for itself. But the two words taken together, “a meek and quiet spirit,” refers to a calm and contented mind.[5] A single word that would encompass the meaning here is, I think, serenity.

This does not mean that Simon Peter is advocating a “Stepford wives” mentality of dullness and intellectual lethargy. But he is pointing out that God is not pleased with silliness, with obnoxious loudness, with fretful worry, or with pushiness in a wife. Control. Restraint. Propriety. We used to call it being a lady. It is the opposite of Ashley Judd, identifying herself as “a nasty woman.”[6] Can a woman be gregarious while married to a quiet and withdrawn man? She can if it does not adversely affect him. What surprised me when my father divorced my mother was the pent-up resentment he had against my mother’s outgoing personality. He was very successful in his career, but his somewhat introverted personality did not cope well with her gregarious nature. He would have been well-advised to communicate his feelings to her, while she would have been well-advised to pay closer attention to the signals of resentment from him she seemed to ignore. Important to remember is a Christian wife’s responsibility toward her husband. They are connected. And God’s plan for her life is to be a godly influence in his life, which can be enhanced or inhibited by the choices she makes when expressing her personality. 

QUESTION #5: What Persuasion Should A Wife Seek To Employ With Her Husband?

ANSWER: A Wife Should Never Try To Change Her Husband’s Mind.  

It is unwise for any wife to engage in confrontational disagreement with her husband. Such a confrontation generally results in most men being resolute in their determination to resist when a wife does that, even if he believes his stance to be incorrect or ill-advised. More important to most men than being right on an issue is maintaining their position concerning their wives. It is only the wimpy husband who knuckles under when confronted in such a way by his wife’s determination to bulldoze him.

When a husband is simply wrong about something, there are two avenues a wise and godly wife can pursue. An appeal made to her husband is her course of last resort, and should not be overused, but can be very effective. What is an appeal? An appeal is a request to your husband, not to change his mind, but to revisit an issue with facts and information in mind not previously considered. It is a humble request that your husband make a new decision based on further information. Thus, a wife who makes a proper appeal to her husband strengthens his position as the spiritual leader of the home rather than undermining it.

But appeals can be resorted to too frequently, so I will not deal with appeals presently. Still, in First Peter chapter 3, there is an approach to persuasion that a truly godly woman, and a wise and experienced wife, will find much more frequent occasion to make use of than either argumentation or appeal. What method of persuasion am I referring to? Lifestyle. First Peter 3.1-2: 

1  Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2  While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 

I could preach a series of sermons on these two verses but allow me to make a couple of pointed comments in passing. There is nothing more important to a Christian wife than having a godly husband. So, how is a husband who is wrong supposed to be won by his Christian wife, if he is to be won at all? This word “won” translates kerdaá½·nw, which means “to acquire by effort or investment.”[7] Christian wife, you do not win him by your talk, or your arguing, or your preaching skills, or by finger-wagging. You win him by your conduct; the word here is “conversation.”

It is as the Christian woman submits to her husband, and as he observes her “chaste,” or holy, conduct coupled with fear, that he is most profoundly and most effectively persuaded concerning the most important of all issues, his obedience to God. Is this fear fear of her husband’s displeasure? Oh, no. Not at all. Remember, this is a godly Christian wife Peter is addressing. She fears no man. She fears only God. It is her fear of God the apostle refers to here. Why is this approach to persuading a husband so profoundly important? Because no wife can lead her husband to be the spiritual leader he ought to be. Understand, while you are leading him, he is not leading. So, you see, efforts to argue with your husband and to get your husband to do what you want him to do are patently counterproductive in the long run. You best persuade your husband, ladies, by being godly, by fearing God, and by being quiet. That way, he is not tempted to react against you. As well, he recognizes that you do not subject yourself to him because you are afraid of displeasing him. You submit to him because you choose to submit to him. 

QUESTION #6: What Posture Should A Wife Adopt?

ANSWER: Respectful, Respectful, Always Respectful. 

There are few things that irritate me more than a mother with a shrill voice screeching at her son, “Get over here right now!” Please, do not misunderstand. I strongly encourage mothers to be firm with their children and to insist on instant obedience and a respectful attitude. But there is something about a woman screeching at a child that bothers me. A mother who starts doing that with a little boy will still be doing that when he is a young man. And there are few forms of humiliation that are so degrading, to me, than a howling banshee of a mother humiliating her son.

The same women are frequently seen behaving in a disrespectful way toward their husbands, as long as their husbands put up with that nonsense and do not abandon them. That approach, either to little boys or to husbands, is just plain wrong. The way a wife deals with a man, and the way a mother deals with a little boy, for that matter, is respectfully. Swat that boy’s behind if he needs it, but do not treat him disrespectfully. There are things that can be said by a woman in private, preserving a respectful posture in front of others, that should never be told to a man or a boy in front of others. I cannot stress how important this is.

In First Peter 5.6, the apostle writes, 

“Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” 

Consider Sarah’s behavior toward Abraham, keeping in mind that he was a profoundly flawed husband who lied on two separate occasions that could have resulted in her being raped, had God not intervened. He was an inconsistent man, a deeply flawed man, but he was also God’s man. How did Sarah treat Abraham, warts, and all? First, she obeyed him. Second, she called him lord. That is, in addition to submitting to him, she behaved respectfully toward him. Oh, if I could convince wives of only one thing concerning their husbands, it would be to show respect, show respect, and to then show respect. Oh, the influence you might have on your husband if he is convinced that you respect him. That is the posture toward him you should adopt. And a man should major in earning his wife’s respect. 

QUESTION #7: How Does Praise Come To A Wife?

ANSWER: If You Fear The LORD You Will Be Praised. 

There are times that being a wife is a thankless job. You work so hard, yet no one seems to notice. You exert yourself so much, yet your husband frequently pays no attention, responds with no gratitude, acts like he deserves to be treated so well. You would think some husbands have delusions of being the king of Siam.

Please recognize that it is both normal and natural to want to be praised, to wish to receive a job well-done commendation from time to time. The question is, from whom do you want such praise? Where will the commendation come from?

Proverbs 31.30: 

“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.” 

You can go fishing for compliments by focusing on the outward graces, or by primping yourself and always trying to look beautiful and ravishing. But such efforts will receive commendation and praise only from men. If you want praise that has as its ultimate source the God of heaven, if you want to get God’s attention, you will adorn yourself with the fear of the LORD.

Fear God, and you will have praise that counts for something. Fear God, and you will have so much greater opportunity to influence your husband. 

Marriage is a proposition that is so very different for a woman than it is for a man. When a man gets married, he gets a follower, he gets someone who abandons her name for his own, and he gets a helper. When a woman gets married, she takes on a leader, she takes on his name, and she agrees to help him.

I did not design marriage. God did. I do not seek to exploit marriage. I only seek to explain it. My advice to you, if you are married or if you hope to be someday married, is to memorize this catechism and its proofs, and use it as the basis for further study of God’s Word.

To be a wife, you have to be at the same time both tough and tender, both strong-willed and submissive, both aggressive and meek. Being a wife is not for the faint of heart or the fragile. It is for those women who have a lot of grit and gristle.

Marriage is not a fairy tale. Marriage is not idyllic. It is at times, very, very tough. And to make a marriage work, a wife has to know what God wants from her, as well as be willing to give God what He wants. 

SERMON: 

In Ephesians 5.22-27, the Apostle Paul likens the relationship of the husband and wife in a marriage to the spiritual relationship that exists between the Lord Jesus Christ and the Church congregation. Read along with me: 

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

This is a glorious passage of Scripture, full of encouragement and promise for the future. But what a pathetic picture of the relationship Jesus Christ has with the Church is presented to the world if husbands and wives do not adequately fulfill their designated role? My text for this sermon is Titus 2.4, where the Apostle Paul provides for his co-laborer, Titus, some practical insights along this line. Read the context, and you will see that Paul is reminding Titus of certain aspects of his ministry.

The primary thrust of the man of God toward those who are converted is to train the aged men, to train the aged women, and to train the young men. For obvious reasons, qualified aged women are to more intimately train young women. But what are qualified aged women supposed to train young women to do? That portion of Titus 2.4 that I will take as my text is “That they may teach the young women to ... love their husbands.”

You young women who are not married, and you young women who are married, listen very carefully. Three observations for your consideration: 

First, IT IS TO BE OBSERVED THAT LOVING YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT NATURAL 

Protest all you want, but Romans 5.5 declares that “the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us,” at the time of conversion. As well, Galatians 5.22 describes what happens when the believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God, which occurs at the moment of conversion: 

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love.” 

Thus, you can argue all you want, but it is firmly established in God’s Word that love, real love, including love a wife claims to have for her husband, is not natural. Love, real love, is something that is given to an individual who repents of his or her sins and comes to Christ.

Does that not explain so much? Does that not show you the difference between passion and real love between sentiment and real love between emotional attachment and real love? You may have the former, but do you have the latter ... if you are not converted? Real love is something that comes from God, and it comes after conversion by the Holy Spirit. It is not something you either fall into or out of. 

Next, IT IS TO BE OBSERVED THAT LOVING YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT NECESSARY 

What I mean by this statement is that there are many Christian women who do not love their husbands and that it is not necessary for a woman who is a Christian to love her husband. There are many Christian women who do not love their husbands.

Contrary to what modern-day evangelicals believe, copying their core theology from Hollywood as they do, love is not a feeling. Oh, there ought to be great and deep feelings associated with love, but great and deep feelings sometimes follow love. Great and deep feelings for someone does not mean you love that person. It is possible, it is usual, for great and deep feelings to exist where there is no real love. You can have great and deep feelings for the man you are married to and not love him. This absence of love would be evidenced by your disloyalty to him, by your rebellious attitude toward him, by your attempts to boss and intimidate him rather than submit to him, and by your hostility toward him when he makes those initial and stumbling efforts to provide spiritual leadership to you.

Here is the greatest testimony to me that a woman does not love her husband: If he is unconverted and she does not encourage him to seek a pastor’s assistance in coming to Christ. If you do not seek your own husband’s conversion and urge him to make use of the means available to strive to enter in, how can you say you love him?

To recap, then:

How can this be? Paul reminded Titus about Christian women being trained to love their husbands. Ergo, they did not love their husbands and had to be trained to love their husbands. 

Which Brings Me To My Final Observation. YOU MUST BE TRAINED TO LOVE YOUR HUSBAND. 

It is no insult to a Christian woman to insist that she does not love her husband. Most Christian women do not love their husbands. Even Christian women who have grown up in Christian homes do not necessarily love their husbands. To love your husband has to do, not with how you feel toward him, but with how you behave toward him, since love is not a feeling but a pattern of behavior. Two comments about this verse, which is the only place in the Bible in which the word translated “love your husbands,” is found:[8]

First, your training to love your husband begins with your pastor, generally. This word translated “teach” is another of those words found only here in the New Testament. A. T. Robertson describes the term as referring to being “sound in mind, to make sane, to restore to one’s senses, to discipline.”[9] The entire process can only rightly occur within the context of a pastor preaching God’s Word, you being hopefully converted to Jesus Christ, and your entire life being transformed by the renewing of your mind, as you grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ under your pastor’s spiritual oversight.[10] This is a part of what Paul refers to when he directs Titus, in Titus 2.1, 

“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine.” 

Do you want to love your husband? Pay close attention as your pastor preaches the Gospel, as he declares the unsearchable riches of Christ, as he unfolds before you the proof of your lost condition, and as he seeks to persuade you to turn from your sins and flee to Christ to escape God’s wrath. Then, should you be converted to Jesus Christ, you will need to listen up just as carefully as every other Christian woman so you might grow spiritually. That is the general instruction you will receive that will result in you choosing to and then being equipped to love your husband.

But there are also those very specific instructions that you will need from a qualified aged woman. You understand that there are certain things that are not appropriate for any pastor to involve himself in, as a Christian man speaking to any woman who is not his wife. At such times, and on such occasions, a Christian woman must have someone to turn to for advice, for counsel, for instruction, and from time to time to receive rebuke. That ministry in our Church is the responsibility of one of our deacon’s wives. She is a woman who has been involved in my ministry for thirty-five years, who is a seasoned and reputable Christian woman, who knows how to love her husband, and who God has blessed to see issues and without the biases that so many people have that makes it difficult for them to see their own family’s problems. I never counsel a woman more than once about an issue related to her marriage. If I am persuaded that follow up is needed, and strong medicine is needed to break some destructive habits and to establish some new habits, I will prescribe a series of sessions between this deacon’s wife and a Christian woman who needs to be trained to love her husband. Have you ever been trained by an older, godly wife and mother how to love your husband? Don’t think you know how just because your husband is happily married to you. 

Loving a husband is not what most women, even most Christian women, think it is. Loving a husband is not how you feel toward your husband. Instead, it is how you behave toward your husband, how you treat your husband, how you relate to your husband.

If you are not obedient to God’s Word, despite how you feel toward him, no matter how high your level of personal loyalty and commitment to him happens to be, you cannot love him, because love only operates within the confines of God’s Word and the restrictions and boundaries of the Bible.[11]

Are you a great housekeeper and an excellent cook? Fine. Are you your husband’s romantic ideal? Even better, I assure you. But that does not mean you love him in the Biblical sense.

If you want to love your husband, you have first to be converted to Christ. “Oh, but that’s not a good reason to seek conversion, Pastor.” Any reason to seek conversion is a good enough reason, I assure you. Second, if you want to love your husband, you have to be trained to love your husband.

You have to be trained in a general fashion by sitting under the preaching of God’s Word in an attentive and studious fashion, learning what is being declared. Then there are the specifics, woman to woman, that you have to be taught by a qualified woman. That woman is not necessarily your mother. If your mother was not trained to be a husband-loving wife, in the Bible sense of that concept, then she is not going to be able to train you. The woman who trains you in this fashion must be a woman out of the ordinary, a woman with a demonstrated receptivity and responsiveness to the truth, and a woman old enough, wise enough, and close enough to her pastor to work closely with him to see young women taught to love their husbands.

Do you want to love your husband? I am sure he wants you to love him. I know your pastor wants you to love him. Therefore, I urge you to talk to your pastor about you becoming a woman who loves her husband. Do you not have a Church home and a pastor? Send me an e-mail at Pastor@CalvaryRoadBaptist.Church to set in motion a chain of events to address these issues in your life.
