Marriage Roles In Biblical Balance
The biblical truth is beautiful and if held in balance and practiced, the husband will be dedicated to doing good for her, and she will gratefully let him lead and provide.
Different But Equal
First, men and women are equal as God’s representatives. But the equality of men and women does not diminish the differences between them.
The Christian Husband
Head does not mean master as in a master-slave relationship, nor does it mean a relationship like a general to a private in the army. It is more like a partnership where one is the leader, guide and director.
The Christian Wife
Nowhere but in Christ—can a woman find the wisdom and strength she needs, to meet the solemn responsibilities of wifehood. Biblical submission is the outworking of what God calls inner beauty.
Headship And Submission
God has not said that the husband must make decisions without obtaining input from his wife. The husband should make a reasonable effort to consult his wife in decisions.
Meeting His Needs
A true wife makes a man’s life nobler, stronger, grander, by the power of her love, turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood.
Meeting Her Needs
Of all the things God wants a husband to give his wife, none is more important than what Christ gave—His own personal being. When a man takes a woman to be his wife he makes her part of himself.
Joy Of Communication
It takes more than words to create safe, secure, exciting love relationships. It takes the ability to accurately pick up and send nonverbal cues that attract and hold the attention of others.
