Who Is A Godly Wife? // Before I Do - Stephanie Ike Okafor

In part 5 of the series, we explore the importance of submission as God's order for the home, the value of friendship in marriage, the application of wisdom to build a strong household, the need for loyalty and boundaries, and the role of a wife as a supportive helper.

I'm 28 years old, and next month will mark three years of marriage. The first two years were full of fights and arguments. I would have left if it weren't for my pregnancy, as I don't believe in single parenting when both parents are alive.

The last major argument happened when I gave birth. My husband said some terrible things that day, which caused my blood pressure to spike to 180/120. I had a headache, palpitations, and feared I might collapse, possibly due to the lingering effects of anesthesia during delivery.

That day, I prayed to God, who told me, "If you want me to fix your husband, you need to just stay calm and submissive when he talks to you, no matter what he says or how he says it. Your behavior is all I need to change him."

It's been a year, and it hasn't been easy to remain calm when I have so much to say. However, the good news is that he is changing, even if not completely, the difference is noticeable. I have found a kind of peace I never thought possible in my marriage, and our home has been peaceful since last year.

Praise God.

I have been married for 6 years this year september, and what really stands out for me was when you said that having parents that are in a good marriage is an advantage ... my parents was married for 24 years me and my sisters witnessed countless adultry happening in my parents marriage, constant fights arguments and belittling... we didnt have any example of what a good marriage is just little bits of good moments between my parents. Their marriage ended in divorce.. and that spirit of adultry seemed to have been with me in my marriage even tho i have been blessed with a handsome, smart Godly man but still had this evil with me... God delivered me from that spirit and watching your video just shows me that i need to submit to my husband i havent fully done so... thank you for saying its a process i normally expect God to change me instantly like you are now submissive but that stems out of being lazy and not allowing God to uproot the issues within me so i can fully be healed... Stephanie Okafor! I thank you for your obedience to our Lord and saviour i desire to come to that obedience too one day! The fear of the Lord is truly His treasure! Godbless you!

Sidenote: I love that your sweaters are also in line with this series LOL

[SamariaNieves-zunk]

Thank you for creating this video. I am married and currently separated because I have not submitted to my husband. I did not have a role model to show me how to treat your husband and I am now learning on my own during this time how to submit to my husband. I am praying for a miracle because I love my husband and I love my family. I want to do things right in front of God’s eyes and I want my marriage back. This video gave me so much hope! Please pray for me as I allow God to build me up. ❤

“Babe, it’s a ponytail, somebody there has to know how to do a ponytail.” 😂 Your hubby is a wise man! 🤣

[indieb]

That ponytail experience is a prime example of submission!! Wow! Submit even when we don't understand. Trust God and allow your husband to lead. 🙏🏿

[drmenglishdubbed]

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen.

As someone who is currently dating to become a wife, this is very informative. Thank God for you and your message. It touched my heart.

As a future wife here earnestly learning Thanks Pastor Stephanie 🎉

Sometimes your silence becomes the microphone for the Holy Spirit, it's not everything you respond to as a woman, I needed to hear that. I grew up in a single parent home and you're so right about that, your default is to respond according to your exposure. This series is the preparation that we all need, i'm so grateful. In our weakness God becomes our strength

[Michimel]

This series needs to be a book!! Such a blessing!

We'll be celebrating our 11th year anniversary this October, but the first two years were trying. I almost ended my marriage if not for my mother. Then the Holy spirit instructed me to submit to my husband and I decided to submit. But still we still had issues, he took my submission for granted and disrespected me even more. I was miserable and depressed and wondered if God was even seeing what I was going through. Then the Holy spirit instructed me to pray for my husband and that was when I started seeing results. The day my husband called me blessed and that he was a very lucky man to be married to me, that day I knew God has taken charge of his heart and of our home. Submission and prayers for our spouse is a great weapon. Thank you for sharing these powerful message.

[LapologangMaheso]

Wow how I have testimony of how all you said it's true. I am married to an unbeliever'n I really used to be a foolish wife until I just let God be God. Now me 'n my husband a so happy. He owns a tarven, listen to this now he even plays gospel music in the tarven. Nothing is impossible with God
