These are my five stipulations I have for my ideal wife.
I. CHRISTIAN
a. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? II Corinthians 6:14-15
i. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind Matthew 22: 36-38
1. By obeying his commands. John 14: 15-21
ii. Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22: 38-40
1. By feeding the hungry, quenching the thirsty, befriending strangers, clothing the naked, comforting the sick and visiting prisoner. Matthew 25: 34-40
iii. Being a light unto the world by teach the love of Jesus Christ.
1. By going and making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28: 16-20
II. PURITY
a. Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh.” But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. I Corinthians 6:12-20
b. A firm believer in saving there body until marriage
i. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Hebrews 13:4
c. VIRGIN
i. Thou shall not commit adultery. Exodus 20:14
1. No Vaginal Sex
2. No Oral Sex
3. No Anal Sex
4. No Hand Jobs
5. No Sex of Any Kind
d. Pure of Heart
i. xXx Straight Edge xXx
1. No drug (including tobacco), No alcohol, and No premarital sex (point b.)
a. Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. I Timothy 4:12
III. MOTHERHOOD READY
a. As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, LIKE A MOTHER CARING FOR HER LITTLE CHILDREN. 1 Thessalonians 2:7
i. Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. Genesis 1:22
1. Can you raise children
2. Can you love children
3. Are you good with children
4. Cable of being a “good” mother
5. Wanting Children
IV. BEAUTY
a. Keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life. Proverbs 6: 24-26
i. Inner beauty that reflects outer beauty.
ii. Outer beauty that reflects inner beauty.
V. A CHRIST CENTERED RELATIONSHIP
a. Wives, submit to your husbands as 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 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 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 his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, 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." This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5: 22-33
b. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
