The Power of a Surrendered Wife

When a wife surrenders herself to Christ first, she becomes a powerful instrument in God's hands, building a home marked by peace, faith, and love. A wife can use her influence to encourage her husband towards Christ or away from Christ. As she trusts the Lord more deeply, she reflects the beauty of the gospel and helps cultivate a marriage that respects her husband and honors Christ in every season.
