 1. N’chifukwa chiyani nthawi zambiri akazi amavutika kulemekeza amuna awo?

M’MAYIKO ambiri anthu akamakwatirana, mkwatibwi amalumbira kuti adzalemekeza kwambiri mwamuna wake. Koma mmene amuna ambiri amakhalira ndi akazi awo, zingachititse kuti akaziwo azivutika kuwalemekeza. Komabe ukwati unali ndi chiyambi chabwino.

Panopa, zikuoneka kuti chiwerengero cha akazi amene amatukwana, kumwa mowa, kusuta fodya, ndi kuchita zachiwerewere n’chofanana ndi cha amuna. Koma kodi zimenezi zachititsa akazi kukhala osangalala kuposa kale? Ayi. M’mayiko ena, pafupifupi theka la anthu amene amakwatirana amadzasudzulana. Kodi zimene akazi ena akhala akuchitazi pofuna kuti moyo wawo wa m’banja ukhale wabwino zathandiza?​—2 Timoteyo 3:1-5.

 3. Kodi vuto lenileni mu ukwati n’chiyani?

³ Kodi vuto lenileni n’chiyani? Mwa zina, ndi vuto lomwe lakhalapo kuyambira pamene Hava ananyengedwa ndi mngelo wopanduka, “njoka yakale ija, iye wotchedwa Mdyerekezi ndi Satana.” (Chivumbulutso 12:9; 1 Timoteyo 2:13, 14) Satana wapotoza zimene Mulungu amaphunzitsa. Mwachitsanzo, Mdyerekezi wachititsa ukwati kuoneka ngati chinthu chopanikiza ndi chosautsa. Monga wolamulira wa dzikoli, Satana amapangitsa malangizo a Mulungu kuoneka opanda chilungamo ndi achikale kudzera m’zinthu zimene zimafalitsidwa m’mawailesi, ma TV, ndi zina zotero. (2 Akorinto 4:3, 4) Koma tikaona bwinobwino zimene Mulungu amaphunzitsa zokhudza udindo wa akazi mu ukwati, tingaone kuti Mawu a Mulungu ndi anzeru ndi othandiza.

Mkaziyo “amamasuka pa lamulo la mwamuna wake” kokha ngati mwamunayo wamwalira kapena wachita chigololo ndipo asudzulana chifukwa cha zimenezi.

(1 Akorinto 11:8-10) Komanso, akazi achikulire okwatiwa, mwa chitsanzo chawo ndi malangizo awo abwino, amaphunzitsa akazi ocheperapo msinkhu ‘kumvera amuna awo.’​—Tito 2:3-5.

Kenako Petulo anadzalemba kuti: “Chifukwa cha Ambuye, gonjerani makonzedwe alionse opangidwa ndi anthu.” (1 Petulo 2:13; Mateyo 17:24-27) Ponena za chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha kugonjera chomwe Yesu anapereka, timawerenga kuti: “Anakhuthula zonse za mwa iye n’kukhala ngati kapolo, nakhala wofanana ndi anthu. Kuposanso pamenepo, atakhala munthu, anadzichepetsa nakhala womvera mpaka imfa.”​—Afilipi 2:5-8.

Koma mkazi wanga ankandilemekezabe kwambiri. Sanayambe wandinyozapo kapena kundikakamiza kutsatira chipembedzo chake. Anandisamalira mwachikondi.

N’chifukwa chake lero ndili pano.” Inde, mwamunayu ‘anakopekadi opanda mawu’ chifukwa cha khalidwe la mkazi wake.

¹⁴ Petulo anagogomezera kuti zochita za mkazi n’zimene zimakhala zothandiza kwambiri kuposa zonena zake.

Mwamuna wa mkaziyo anakalipa kuti: “Agnes, ukatuluka pa khomo ilo, usabwerenso!” Iye sanatulukire ‘pa khomo limenelo,’ koma anatulukira pa khomo lina. Tsiku la msonkhano wotsatira, mwamunayo anaopseza kuti: “Ukamabwera sundipeza.” Sanam’pezedi. Anachoka kwa masiku atatu.

Mwakutero, mkazi wachikhristu amasonyeza kuti amalemekeza kwambiri mwamuna wake.​—1 Petulo 3:3, 4.

Zitsanzo Zofunika Kutsatira

16. Kodi Sara n’chitsanzo chabwino kwa akazi achikhristu m’njira ziti?

¹⁶ Petulo analemba kuti: ‘Kale akazi oyera amene anali kuyembekeza Mulungu anali kudzikongoletsa, pogonjera amuna awo.’ (1 Petulo 3:5) Akazi amenewa anazindikira kuti kusangalatsa Yehova mwa kumvera malangizo ake kudzawabweretsera chimwemwe m’banja ndi mphoto ya moyo wosatha. Petulo anatchula za Sara, mkazi wokongola wa Abulahamu, ndipo anati “anali kumvera Abulahamu, ndipo anali kumuitana kuti ‘mbuyanga.’” Sara ankathandiza mwamuna wake woopa Mulungu, amene Mulungu anamutuma kuti akatumikire ku dziko lakutali.

Davide anakhudzidwa mtima kwambiri, ndipo anati: “Alemekezedwe Yehova Mulungu wa Israyeli, amene anakutumiza lero kudzandichingamira ine; ndipo, kudalitsike kuchenjera kwako.”​—1 Samueli 25:2-33.

18. Kodi akazi okwatiwa akamafunidwa ndi mwamuna wina angaganizire chitsanzo cha ndani, ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani chitsanzo chimenechi chili chabwino?

¹⁸ Chitsanzo china chabwino kwa akazi ndi Msulami wachitsikana amene anakhalabe wokhulupirika kwa m’busa wosauka amene anali naye pachibwenzi. Iye anapitirizabe kukonda kwambiri m’busayo ngakhale kuti mfumu yolemera inkamufunanso. Chifukwa chokonda kwambiri m’busa wachinyamatayo, mtsikanayo anati: “Undilembe pamtima pako, mokhoma chizindikiro, nundikhomenso chizindikiro pamkono pako; pakuti chikondi chilimba ngati imfa . . . Madzi ambiri sangazimitse chikondi, ngakhale mitsinje yodzala kuchikokolola.” (Nyimbo ya Solomo 8:6, 7) Choncho, akazi onse amene avomera kukwatiwa nawonso atsimikize mtima kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa amuna awo ndi kuwalemekeza kwambiri.

²⁰ Kuti akazi amvere lamulo limeneli, ayenera kuphunzira ndi kutsatira chitsanzo cha mpingo wa Khristu wa odzozedwa.
