Decibel: A Contentious Woman | The Best Time to Get Married | @Ironmars

"She is a constant frustration, like a leaky roof that does not stop dripping." Proverbs 19:13


A woman who is quarrelsome, unkind with her words, seeks division among family, friends and work colleagues, and does not like to take instructions because she believes she's in the right, is not pleasing in the eyes of God.

"It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." Proverbs 25:24

"Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife." (Proverbs 21:19)

"A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand." (Proverbs 27:15-16)

"But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." 1 Corinthians 11:3

"A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. / I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet." 1 Timothy 2:11-12

"Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behaviour, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good. 4In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited." Titus 2:3-5

"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 Saviour. / Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." Ephesians 5:22-24

"Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. / Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." Colossians 3:18-19

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30


The Best Time to Get Married

Men, do not allow anyone to make you feel pressured into marriage. We know that marriage is a good thing, but let God guide you to the right woman. He will present a moment, a time and a place in your heart for when marriage in your life should take place.

So many men rushed into marriage and regretted it because they did not allow God to direct them to the right woman in His timing. Instead, they listened to other people pressurising them by saying things like, "You don't have much time, you're getting old." "What about your mother, I'm sure she wants Grandchildren." and "You don't want to spend your life alone." There are many other terms that people use to pressurise you into making such a BIG decision before time. Many marriages fall apart because it wasn't built upon love, but other things that don't build up a marriage relationship.

The bible says, "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.". Psalms 37:7. Also, the bible says, "Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the LORD!" Psalm 27:14. This tells us not to be too hasty into the things that we want or need, but once again, wait on the Lord.

  1. Yeah, some of them too loud for my likings, man. They need to be more humble in their daily life, for real.
