Overview
In this season of my life I have been in “home training” — discovering who I am and also who I am as a godly wife.
When I stumbled upon 1 Peter 3:3-11 where the attributes of a godly woman are listed, I decided I may want to do a study on what we as godly women should look like!
By learning to embody the attributes of a godly wife we, as godly women and wives, will more easily submit to our husbands, have a peaceful spirit and our marriages will glorify God!
What You’ll Learn!
We will be reviewing the four attributes found in 1 Peter 3:3-11 amp:
- Submit to your husband. Even if they do not obey the word of God, because they will be won over not by discussion but by the godly lives of their wives.
- Be pure and modest
- Have a gentle and peaceful spirit — not anxious or wrought up.
- Do not let anything terrify you — not giving away to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you.

Thank you so much for this. I’m getting married next year
Congratulations! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s important for single ladies and newlyweds to know its all a journey and as long as we seek God in every moment, he will show us the way!
God Bless you, Sis. Melanie. That was a very good episode of “A Godly Women” the attributes: I thank our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for you and for even inviteing me to hear and learn as you go through your own journey of being Married. It is so true by submitting to your Husband does truly bring peace, I had to learn after being Married how to totally submit to my Husband. I saw in mind that since I was submitted to God, whatever needed to be done in the Marriage it was ok for me to take on and get it done. But it wasn’t ok with my Husband later on after he admitted that. My husband told me I never ask him I just do it. See that’s that independent stuff. I was on my on for a long time before we even got Married. As to he just left his parents home and became Married to me. Submission is an act of honor when learned, you said as two Husband and Wife you become one, that’s so true. That’s true also that’s where our peace comes in at, the peace of God. I remember when me and my Husband the first year doing our Marriage the Pastor of our Church ask me to start letting my Husband pay the bills, when I know and believed my Husband rather not of took on that task. I didn’t think my Husband felt comfortable in paying bills. So I obeyed the word of God coming from my Pastor, and than our electricity got turned off, so I was cool, trying to stay submitted and calm. So I asked my Husband why didn’t you pay the electric bill, my Husband said I forgot. I said But you have both of our incomes, did you forget, I than left the whole situation alone from their. But I kept hearing God say everything is going to be ok, I didn’t go off on my Husband or curse him out or anything. So the next day the lights were turned back on. And I remained submitted and peaceful. Than my Husband came to me and said I think you should pay the bills from now on. I learned it wasn’t about me or what I knew, but my submission and obedience to my Husband and to God. Thank you Jesus, forever grateful. Sister Malanie your already in there, don’t need to tell you hand in there. God has you and your family and the many other young ladies and women you will reach around the world?.
Thank you,
Flimming B.

DearMelanie,
At age 64, I honestly don’t know if I want to get married!
I have never been married before.
Sometimes I desire to get married; sometimes I don’t.
Right now, I just love Jesus! He’s my “Boo”! LOL!
If I’m ever to get married, I pray that God will give me a PERFECTLY
CLEAR revelation of exactly who my husband will be.
Yes! I waited to have a clear revelation before I got married as well and I wouldn’t have settled for it if God didn’t give me that! I also respect you wanting to be single! 1 Corinthians 7 speaks on how singleness is for certain people and so is marriage and that both are a gift from God!
Amen, beautiful Godly advice and so true. I have been married for 23 years and if you follow these simple Godly instructions, your marriage can and will be successful! I’ll admit I haven’t always followed it perfectly but I have learned that marriage is a commitment that always needs work!
Yes for sure it is! It will never be perfect, but it will be perfecting!
Awesome word! Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m single I do desire to be married one day but how can i be at peace with waiting on God.
I will do an episode soon on singleness, but to keep it short and simple you just have to do what God tells you to do now in this season and wholeheartedly trust that he will bring your husband when it’s time. Sometimes there are other things God wants us to do in order to prepare us for marriage first! It’s not easy but the wait is worth it!
I really enjoyed this weeks Podcast. What spoke to me most was “submission is a form of honor” I believe through other relationships outside of marriage where we have to submit to those in authority over us is our practice ground to learn and embrace submission and give honor.
I am not married as of yet or even engaged however I am trusting God to prepare me as a Godly wife, full of His virtue, and learn to embrace and enjoy the responsibilities within my home while I am becoming and being position for God’s promise. For two is better than one! Your whole message was very rich, so I thank you for sharing and releasing what God has placed in you and is teaching you. I believe Holy Spirit really want me to focus on the honoring. Thank you kindly again!
May our ABBA continue to grow you both in the image of His likeness and what He has ordained for the ministry of marriage in your union. In Jesus name amen ?
I’m glad you enjoyed it! And yes, even before marriage there are plenty of opportunities to practice honor and submission in a healthy way!
Thanks for the invite Sis. Melanie. I appreciate your insight. I seldom respond to podcasts and vlogs/blogs because it seems that respondents always have to be in agreement with the vlogger/blogger and I’m not always that person, so I tend to leave those alone. That said, your points were good and personal and many can be corporate. However, regarding an ungodly decision from my husband, I’m going to have to go with Acts 5:29, obeying God and not man, and the chips fall where they may.
I agree! Anything that goes against God’s law we can’t agree with. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your obedience to the holy spirit in doing this. As a single moms of two…I find it hard to determine where I fit in with allot of this. Much of the rearing of my sons is all on me. I feel like a huge part of my feminity has been put aside as I fulfill the role as head of the household. I’d love to hear your prayerfully guided thoughts on this dilemma I’m just now seeing as problematic.
I’ve even cut my hair low, not because I’m struggling with lesbianism, but rather so my time, money and energy can go towards other useful things in our lives. Don’t get me wrong, I love my style… But wonder what else could I be communicating under the surface. Thanks for hearing me out.
