A Prayer to God About Marriage

          I am going to write a prayer out of here that I wrote out in my journal a few nights ago. It is really close to me so I will leave so spots empty so you can fill them in yourselves but I think this is a pray that every women, especially Christian women should pray about herself and her future husband. Here is the prayer:

        Dear Daddy,
               I heard at my Bible study this past week that "the husband is the spiritual leader of the household and he is held accountable in Your Eyes for most things, if not all things. I loved hearing that and that took a lot of weight of me for some reason. I don't know what I was thinking but I felt a huge sign of relief after hearing that. Now I will admit that at first I went: Ha! ha! ha! but then I got thinking about it and to me that is a sign of maturity for the guy of his part. If he can lead something other then a family like a business or other people or be a part of a big business then he can lead a family. After everything that I have learned in the past year about other guys, it all makes sense now.
               Why do we, Christian women, get mad at the Christian guys when it takes them so long to be "ready" for a women? Same reason that it takes a women a long time to get ready for a man. We are becoming the Keepers of the house like Christ is to us and the church. If a real, Godly man has a relationship with You then yes it will take him awhile too. As women, we are finding it in who we are to be keepers of the house and the guys are doing that to be the leaders and be in the leadership role. I don't want to shorten time for anyone.
                Then I pray that You will grow me into that Keeper of the house. My jobs? My degrees? You are working on it right now. I'm just finally making sense of it all, right? A Holy Marriage for You.

In Christ's Love,
Amen

     
         I know some people might have different ideas and thoughts on this whole person role situation.  This is what I believe the Lord what me to see and how He wants me to do it. It might seem strange right now but when you really get married and with that other person it should all make sense. Each of you have a special role in the family and mission that God has given you.  Do you see the different roles now? I wish churches would explain it more this way then using all the fancy words like submit, submissive, and so on. I think this way sounds a lot nicer and it makes more sense. I think people wouldn't be so scared of it if they could understand it more.
        Just to let you know there wasn't as many names as I thought there was. I did have to cut out some sentences but they weren't important to the main idea just some personal ones to the idea so everything still makes sense. Just a little something to think about.
