Noah's Wife - Along for the Ride or Partner in Adventure? Genesis 7:1

There is not much description about Noah's wife but you can image being a partner to Noah, how did she feel with a husband being so convicted to God's word and working on something is unknown. Noah probably neither could have much time with his children nor helping his wife for household work and etc.

I could see Noah's wife is the first most submissive wife in women's history. She supported Noah in a sense that Noah could focusly building the Ark. It was not talking about a time span of one day, one week, one month or one year but for years. This reflects a consistence in submissiveness bringing the salvation of their whole family.

Conviction:
  • total submissiveness
  • total trust
  • supporting whole-heartedly

Or

  • have we even doubt the thoughts and comitment of our husband?
  • are we in a supportive role or building a contrary and resisting energy in a family?
