(Ephesians 5:24 NKJV) Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Some of the problems we have today in many homes are because we don’t understand the order which God gives us as husband and wife. God has called the husband to be the leader of the home. All men… know that you are the leader. There are no questions nor excuses about this; it is what God wants for the home.
What happens sometimes is that a man that is not aggressive, a little slow moving or with a tendency to be relaxed marries a woman that is more forward and aggressive, with a take-charge personality. The woman ends up taking on the leadership role in the home and in the relationship.
This still does not give men the right to sit back and let the wife do everything, even if she doesn’t mind it. This is out of God’s order and problems will occur.
It’s not meant for the woman to do it all and to carry the load. It is meant for the man to do his part and lead, and the woman should follow his leading and help, as needed, in a balanced way.
Remember… God does not make mistakes. It is important we are diligent in what God gives us. Men are responsible for their position and women are responsible for theirs. If the Woman is playing the man’s role what happens to her role? It get’s neglected. Something will be neglected.
Men, today you need to stand in your position and lead. Women, you need to take your position and both need to be supporting and helping each other to stay in the order which God has set for each one.
