PARA AMAR y ESTAR SUJETAS, TO LOVE, and TO SUBMIT

Para Amar y Estar Sujetas

Las CASADAS estén sujetas a sus propios maridos, como al Señor; porque el marido es cabeza de la mujer, así como Cristo es cabeza de la iglesia, la cual es su cuerpo, y Él es su Salvador. Así como la iglesia se somete a Cristo, también las esposas deben someterse a sus esposos en todo.



MARIDOS, amad a vuestras mujeres..., así como Cristo amó a la iglesia, y se entregó a sí mismo por ella. Así también los maridos deben amar a sus mujeres como a sus mismos cuerpos. El que ama a su mujer, a sí mismo se ama. Porque nadie aborreció jamás a su propia carne, sino que la sustenta y la cuida, como también Cristo a la iglesia. "Por esto dejará el hombre a su padre y a su madre, y se unirá a su mujer, y los dos serán una sola carne". - Efesios 5:22-31

Ser sujetas a nuestros esposos no nos hace menos, porque una relación basada como nos dice la biblia nos trae bendición, y nos da una relación balanceada con el concepto de tener a Cristo como la cabeza del hombre Y la mujer JUNTAMENTE. Si vemos en este versículo nos manda a nosotras a ser sujetas a nuestro maridos quien debe ser nuestra cabeza. Pero para muchas mujeres eso se les hace difícil entender porque piensan que las hace ser menos que el hombre y que la Biblia las presenta como débiles e incapaz de mandarse a si mismas. Pero lo que no entiende es que Cristo es nuestra cabeza, que un matrimonio debe ser dirigido por la unción de Dios y que en sus ojos somo IGUALES tanto las mujeres como los hombre.Tener de cabeza (amar) a un hombre fiel a Dios es algo digno de respetar y admirar.  Los Esposos servidores de Dios son hombres ejemplares y aman a sus esposas e hijos teniéndolo siempre presentes y proveen lo necesario tanto en lo material como lo espiritual para su familia. Para mi el estar sujeta a mi esposo es amarlo, es abrazar sus pensamientos y estar de acuerdo con el ... y porque no, si es el hombre que amo. Nota: Esto y mas siempre y cuando sea todo del agrado de Dios. En otra entrada hablare sobre el respeto y admiración hacia nuestros esposos.

Se vemos los versículos de 25 - 31 de Efesios, vemos que Dios se dirige al hombre encargándole amar a su esposa con un amor INMENSO, amarnos como él se ama a sí mismo, como el amor de Cristo hacia nosotros. ¿Se imaginan, que cantidad de amor es el que Dios manda al hombre tenerle a su esposa? El que ama así,  respecta, cuida y guía a su mujer hacer prosperada en todo los aspectos. Si sientes que tu esposo no esta ahí, en el nivel que le manda nuestro Dios entonces no te desesperes. Ora y preséntalo a Cristo. Pídele que lo guié y lo llene de su amor, sabiduría y que lo convierta en un hombre guiado por Dios. Esto no es algo que pasa de la noche de la mañana pero Dios tiene su propósito y cumple su promesa de contestar nuestras peticiones hechas con fe.

Oramos para que todos los matrimonios sean bendecido y tengan a Dios como columna principal en sus matrimonios.

To Love and to Submit

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her....In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church, for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” - Ephesians 5:22-31 

Submitting ourselves to our husbands does not make us less, because a relationship based as the Bible tells us brings blessings, and gives us a balanced relationship with the concept of having Christ as head of man and woman TOGETHER. This verse commands us to submit to our husbands who should be our head. But for many women they find it difficult to understand because they think it makes them less than men and that the Bible presents them as weak and unable to lead ourselves. But what they do not understand is that Christ is our head, that a marriage should be anointed of the Holy Spirit and in God's eyes we are both, men and women the EQUAL.  To have as head (love) a man that is faithful to God, is a men worth of respect and admiration. Spouses that are servants of God are exemplary men who love their wives and children having them presents always and provide the necessary both in the material as in the spiritual for his family. To me submitting to my husband is to love him, to embrace his thoughts and to agree with him...... and why not , after all he is the man I love. Note: This and more as long as it is under God's grace. In another post I'll talk about respect and admiration for our husbands.

In the verses 25 to 31 of Ephesians, we see that God commands men to love their wives with an IMMENSE love,  to love as he loves himself, as the love of Christ to us his church. Can you picture, the quantity of love God commands men to have for their wives? A man who loves like that, respects, cares and guides his woman into property in all aspects. If you feel that your husband is not there, at that level that God sends him to love, then do not despair. Pray and submit your marriage and husband to Christ. Ask God to guide him and fill him with love, wisdom, and make him a man guided by the love of God. This is not something that happens over night but God has a purpose and fulfills his promise to answer our requests done in faith.

  4. wow Mari, I just stopped by your site for ideas on dominican cake. I decided to stop by your blog because it caught my attention instantly. I'm going through such a difficult time in my life for the first time ever. I am only 36 and after 22yrs my husband has decided to separate. It's been the worst most hopeless past 7 months and I pray to our Lord to guide me and give me strength to go on and seems like the world is crashing on me right now. Thank you for your encouraging words and blogs. God bless
