“In the home a woman can bask in the provision and leadership of her husband.
She loses her femininity, her grace, and her peace when she rules her husband.
A truly feminine woman trusts in her husband’s provision and authority.
This does not mean she is a doormat.
God has given women a sphere of leadership, not to rule over her husband,
but to govern the affairs of her home (1 Timothy 5:14).
It is her prerogative to efficiently administrate her home and garden.
This is not an insignificant task. It is a full-time career, especially as God blesses the couple with more children.
It is not just loving our children,
but loving and embracing the role of motherhood
that releases us into the joy and glory of our divine career.
Gentleness and meekness are also the inner essence of being female. 1 Peter 3:3-4 (Williams) says, “Your adornments . . . must be of an internal nature, the character concealed in the heart, in the imperishable quality of a quiet and gentle spirit, which is of great value in the sight of God.” These qualities in a female are very precious to the heart of God, and to husbands. In fact, they are a woman’s charm. They are called an “unfading charm.“
