Let us talk about a truth that the modern world often rejects or misunderstands. In our home, my husband comes before my children.

When a man and a woman join together in marriage, scripture tells us they forsake their parents and become one flesh. That concept of one flesh means complete and unbreakable unity. It is a Yah ordained covenant, and it forms the foundation of the entire household. Everything else, including parenting, flows directly from the strength of that marriage.

The Honor of Being a Helpmeet

A woman was created specifically to be a helpmeet. Our design is to fulfill our role by propelling whatever vision the Most High has given to our husbands. This is not a burden or a secondary position. It is a profound, divine calling that should be taken with the utmost honor and respect.

My husband is my focus and my priority because without him, I cannot fulfill the purpose I was designed for. I show my dedication and love to the Most High by loving and serving my husband. He is my master and the lord over me, exactly as Yah ordained. By aligning my life to support his vision, I am living out my faith and proving my worthiness to the Creator.

Raising Children to See the Order

Our children need to know this truth, and more importantly, they need to see it play out in real life every single day. Motherhood is a monumental role in itself. As a mother, I am the keeper of our children, working alongside my husband to help him guide them in the right and righteous way.

Children are the beautiful result of our love union, but they are not the head of the household. They need to understand these roles by watching how I respect and serve their father. This creates a secure, stable environment for them to grow up in, rooted in divine order rather than chaos.

The Reality of the Empty Nest

Children also need to understand this dynamic because they are not meant to stay under our roof forever. They will get older. They will eventually go off, get married, and carry out the specific vision the Most High has set out for their own lives.

When that season arrives and the house is quiet again, it will still just be me and my husband. The marriage was here before the children arrived, and the marriage will remain long after they leave to build their own families. By prioritizing my husband now, I am nurturing the covenant that will last a lifetime, fulfilling the true role I was given by Yah.
