Men: Being a husband is a lot of responsibility. Its more than loving your wife, its more than bringing home the bacon and its more than protecting your wife. 1 - A Husband is more than a provider, a lover and protector. A TRUE Husband is a LEADER. The Scriptures provide a clear organizational structure for a marriage. 1 Corinthians 11:3 ~ [3] But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Read Ephesians 5:22-30 for more. 2 - A Husband loves his wife unconditionally. (Ephesians 5:25). There is no question that words communicate love, but so do actions. You need to do both. As the Apostle John wrote in one of his letters: let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth (1 John 3:18) 3 - A husband must serve his wife. According to the New Testament, being head of your wife does not mean being her master, boss or slave driver, but being her servant. Again, Christ is our model for this type of leadership. Jesus did not just talk about serving; He demonstrated it when he washed His disciples feet (John 13:1-17). Christ, the Head of the Church, took on the very nature of a servant when He was made in human likeness (Philippians 2:7). To be a leader, a lover, and a servant is to accommodate your life to the life of the gift God has given you your wife. Give up your life for hers and, at the Judgment Seat of Christ, He will say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant.
