" BECOMING A GODLY HUSBAND "

Greetings All, here we are into another week. This week we will be sharing about the role of a Godly Husband. We men are commanded by God The Father to Love Our Wives. I can just imagine what's going through some minds. Even though people have misinterpreted the teaching of Paul regarding submission by giving unlimited authority to Husbands, we cannot get around it. Now Paul told Wives to submit to their Husbands, This fact that a teaching from God through Paul is not popular and no reason to discard it. According to the Bible, The Man (The Husband) is the Spiritual Head of the Family, and his wife should acknowledge his leadership. But real Spiritual Leadership involves service. Just as Christ served the Disciples, even to the point of washing their feet, so the husband is to serve his Wife. A wise and Christian-honoring husband will not take advantage of his leadership role, and a wise and Christ-honoring wife will not try to undermine her husband's leadership. Either approach causes disunity and friction in marriage. Men / Husbands do you truly know how you're suppose to love your bride? My bride and I have been married nearly 49 years. I confess that I'm still discovering things to this day. I constantly refer to my Life's Manual, The Word Of God. Now paul devotes twice as many words to telling husbands to love our wives as to be subject to their husbands. Question, have you ever asked how should I Love My Wife? (1) He should be willing to sacrifice everything for her. (2) He should make her well-being of primary importance. (3) He should care for her as he cares for his own body. No wife needs to fear submitting to a man who treats her in this way. LAST POINT: A man who honors his wife as a member of the weaker sex will Protect, Respect, Help, and Stay with Her. He will not expect her to work full-time outside the home and full-time at home; he will lighten her load whenever he can. He will be sensitive to her needs, and he will relate to her with courtesy, consideration, insight and tact. Christian Marriage involves Mutual Submission, Subordinating ourselves to Christ as Lord. Some of us must recognize the fact that it's time to tighten up our game. We all make mistakes so now let's be intentional about doing it right.
