Title: What is a Wife to do?
Series: The Divine Design (5 of 8)
Primary Scripture: 1 Peter 3:1-6
Author: Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to First Peter chapter 3, First Peter chapter 3. We're in a series, The Divine Design: God's Plan for Marriage and Family. And last week, we talked about the husband, and we had a message that I entitled, What's a Husband To Do? And this week, we're going to talk to the wives, What's a Wife To Do?

And when God answers my prayer, I'm moving in with my sister!" That's not what a wife is to do, to pray that God would kill her husband. But what is a wife to do?

Now, there are two big problems in marriage, two big problems - ignorance and selfishness, ignorance and selfishness. Ignorance, "I don't know what I'm supposed to do." And so, we want to work on that today to say, "Thus says the LORD, this is what you're supposed to do as a wife." And then we deal with selfishness, "Am I willing to do what God says to do?"
Last week, I shared with you John chapter 13, verse 17. Jesus said, "If you know these things, you're blessed if you do them." The blessing is ...
