The Dynamite Wife
Well, I wish my wife, Barbara, were here to do this instead of me, but let me give you some tips that she shares with wives on how to become a "dynamite" wife:
1) Be a helper to your husband. He needs you. I promise you, he really does. He is incomplete without you.
2) Love and respect your husband. Accept him unconditionally. And, yes, love him sexually, too.
3) Submit to his leadership. As you voluntarily submit to your husband, you are completing him. You're helping him fulfill his responsibilities, and you're helping him become the leader God intended him to be. There. I said it.
One final thought. God's plan for you as a wife doesn't restrict your creativity in expressing who you are. I believe if you trust Him, the finished product will be a life that reflects the full beauty that the Creator intended.
