How one wife finally put her husbands in his place!!!

"Do It Yourself husband!"

1. Mothers complaint: The children don't respect me! Children imitate the way their mothers respect their husband. Its likely your own fault the children don't respect you. Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband.
2. A wife should never raise her voice and yell her husband, even when he is wrong: 1 Peter 3:4 A wife must never address her husbands above a "quiet, respectful, submissive, whisper", at any time. If you do this, your children will imitate this and address you, their head in exactly the same way.
3. Children respect the mother the way the mother respects her husband. Want your children to respect your headship over them? Then respect your husband's headship over you!
4. If your children are yelling at you, perhaps they learned this from you yelling at their father! Children know he is head, even if you won't let him be such. You have trained them by your example, to disrespect headship. Your insubordination to your husband has trained your own children to treat you the same way!
5. While it is true that the husband can contribute to the problem by not disciplining the children when they disrespect their mother, the problem usually is the mother's fault. You see, even if the father does a perfect job of disciplining the children for talking back to their mother, the children will still "trash" the mother, if they see her "trashing" her husband.
6. Children learn submission from the mother, not the father. Children learn headship from the father, not the mother. Therefore the key point for children, who must first learn to submit, is to imitate the submission style of the mother to her husband. If she shows an example of insubordination to her head, then the children learn this from their mother and treat her the same way. After all, the children think that is the normal way you submit to authority. They are merely doing what the mother taught them.
7. The Bible is clear:
   "but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. " 1 Peter 3:4
   "the wife must see to it that she respects her husband." Ephesians 5:33

A Sunday school teacher went over to visit one of her new pupils named Katrine, one summer's afternoon. The family had immigrated only five years earlier from the "home country". The mother was warm and friendly, even her house exuded hospitality. What was most impressive though was the woman's constant references to her husband. Whenever there was a lull in the conversation a little 4 year old boy would ask, "Is it almost time for papa to come home?" Later, the other children came in from school, greeted me politely and went to their chores. The oldest daughter said, "I'm going to start some of Papa's favorite muffins for supper," as she headed for the kitchen. As the teacher got up to leave, Katrine asked, "Can't you wait a small moment and meet papa?" By this time the teacher was very curious about this remarkable man who commanded such love and respect from all his family.

The shock of meeting Papa was almost too much for the teacher. Instead of a well-dressed man of brilliant speech, a small man, twisting nervously at his mustache and talking in the broken accent of his native tongue, greeted "the teacher of his "leetle Katrina." For some time the teacher pondered the mystery of this man's place in his home. Suddenly it dawned on her. It's not who or what the father is personally, but the mother's attitude toward him that makes all the difference. A husband can only take their proper place at the head of the house when wives respect and honor their wishes, thereby giving our children the desire to do likewise.
