And the Best Supporting Wife Role Award Goes To...

This topic was a Free Yourself Friday subject on Twitter a few weeks ago, and I think it bears a little more conversation.
We, as wives, need to know our roles.
Now, don't get mad and close the browser. It's true, but you need to let me explain.
I get your frustrated when you hear someone tell you to stay in your lane. At least, I know it made my teeth itch a time or two. Who is anyone else to tell me to "know my role"? I'm grown! I don't need anyone to tell me what to do, and my husband ain't my daddy!  I can do and say whatever I want.
Blah, blah, blah.
I get it. We're all adults. If you weren't of age, you wouldn't be married. Whatever state you live in decided that, when you went to the county clerk's office to file for a marriage certificate with your husband, you were old enough to decide that you wanted to be married. So of course you can take care of yourself.
But the bottom line is, your husband is the head of your household. You don't take a backseat to him, but he's the main character of your Life's Story. That means that you play a very important part. One man productions aren't very much fun: supporting roles are necessary.

Genesis 2:18

"Then the Lord God said,

'It is not good that the man should be alone;

I will make him a helper fit for him.'"

 

God doesn't do anything accidentally or coincidentally. God not only gave you to your husband as his wife and helpmeet; He fit you for your husband.

No one else can do for your husband what you do for him. No one else can even pray for your husband the way you can. You are his cheerleader, his lover, his friend and his confidant. You may also moonlight as his chef, his chauffeur, his maid and his laundress. Don't think that he's using you to do the things that he doesn't want to do. You are his wife! It's your job to help him in anyway you can.

Even the best main characters of movies and plays cannot possibly be the best without the supporting characters. The main character leads, but the supporting characters make them look as great as great can be. As a helpmeet to your husband, you make him shine. You make sure that his clothed match and aren't wrinkled, or that his shirt complements his skin. You see to it that he is fed and groomed and that everything is in order for him when he has things to do. You are his main girl, his helper and his wife. So when he shines, you're doing quite a bit of glowing yourself.

Remember the phrase, "Behind every good man is a great woman"?
Well the best supporting wife role in you and your husband's life story goes to you.

Here's your standing ovation....
