Derek Prince - A Wife's Responsibility

Turning now to the wife: What is her contribution to a successful marriage? In the first place, in Scripture where God introduces the theme of marriage in Genesis 2, He describes what He intends the wife to be: a helpmeet or (in modern translations) a helper. I do believe that sums up in one word the real purpose of God for the wife. It is to be her husband’s helper. I suggest there are two primary ways in which a wife can help her husband. The first is to uphold, the second is to encourage.
