“The Church submits to Christ in part by praying and singing the Psalms back to Him. And so this is one of the ways we can learn about what it means for a wife to submit to her husband in everything…
What we find in the Psalms are many prayers of praise, respect, honor, remembering God’s greatness and salvation. Therefore, a wife should work hard to praise her husband, speak highly to him and about him, and thank him for his faithfulness, loyalty, hard work, paying the bills, and so on…
Nevertheless, we also find Psalms of lament and sadness, one of which says something like, ‘Where have you been all day? Why have you not answered any of my texts? I’m surrounded by people in diapers. Will you not come speedily with chocolate ice cream and deliver me?'”
