Hey neighbor! We all have roles in marriage, and God specifically designs them. But, In a world that often encourages different narratives, it's crucial to remain grounded in the truth. The world often feeds us conflicting messages about roles in marriage. It tells us that roles can be fluid or that we should take on multiple roles simultaneously. 

However, as wives, understanding our roles is essential for maintaining the peace and balance our homes need. Taking on too many roles and failing to allow our husbands to fulfill their God-given roles can lead to unintended consequences and disagreements within the marriage. Consider these faults as prayer points. Instead of dwelling on what roles your husband may not be fulfilling, turn to the Lord in prayer. 

Ruth shares encouragement and experience while revisiting the book of Genesis to let the word of God remind you of his plan and purpose for your role in marriage. As wives, we can encourage, uplift, and support our husbands in fulfilling their God-given roles. Let us lean on the Holy Spirit for guidance and seek God's wisdom to strengthen our marriages.
