The power of women in marriage
By Dr. John Boakye
From history a woman appears to have no limit to her power. Adam was crushed by Eve. Sampson the strongest man that ever lived was charmed by Delilah. David, a man after God’s heart and who killed a nine-foot Goliath, fell under spell of Bathsheba.
In recent years, we have Rev. Jim Baker and Rev. Jimmy Swaggard who had the fastest growing churches in the USA being crushed by a Secretary and prostitute respectively. And what about the then President of the most powerful nation on earth, kneeling before an intern or National Service personnel?
Again in Greek comedy, lysistrata, we read of an intense war with very heavy casualties and when nothing could stop the war, the women decided to show power stops with them. They decided to stop the war by simply resolving to deny their men access to the strong room. The war stopped overnight!
