The sermon is divided into three main sections
1. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐๐
A virtuous wife’s beauty radiates from the inside out.
๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ
A virtuous woman has the character and grace to attract her husband to herself and to God, even if he is unbelieving or difficult. She is purposeful in pleasing him.
๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
She should be clean and presentable for her husband, not unkempt. She is adorned for her husband, not for the world.
๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ
A virtuous woman has the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit. She must take care of her heart, as its state will reflect in her actions.
๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
She trusts in God and does not allow circumstances or other people to stir her up against her husband. Family blessings do not come by fighting.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ
She is continually submissive to her husband, even when unhappy, without becoming unholy.
๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐
A virtuous woman speaks with a respectful language and knows what to say to quench strife.
๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ
The wife should be a helpful support so that her husband’s prayers are not hindered.
2. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐
A husband must be a strong, firm backbone for his family.
He does not compete with his wife but complements her, and he respects her.
A man with inner strength does not delay in repairing broken relationships.
A husband with a backbone moderates his wife’s promises and vows, aligning them with God’s will.
He provides for his household, as failing to do so is worse than being an infidel.
A married man with a backbone focuses on his own wife and avoids lustful desires for other women to prevent loneliness, insecurity, and depression.
3. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ค ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐
A family is like a bank where deposits of love, faith, joy, and hope are made. A visionary home has a vision for a desirable future.
A home must have a vision of ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐, like Abraham who “against hope believed in hope”.
It should have a vision of ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก.
It should have a vision of ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, where everyone contributes to the family’s joy, as a “merry heart doeth good like a medicine”.
It must have a vision of ๐๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ, with family members honouring each other.
It must have a vision of ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, remembering that two are better than one.
Finally, a home must have a vision of ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ, and a person’s presence in the family should contribute to that holiness.
