A Husband’s Responsibility According to God…
God is very clear on how marriage should operate. Although the world has conjured corrupt marriage rules, they are all demonic and perverted. Only God’s way proves real success and abundance in every area of marriage . Below are 6 scriptures that outline before us what a husband’s responsibility is for his wife.
Husband’s should realize he is made in the image and likeness of God. Scripture says “so God created him; male and female he created them.”(Genesis 1:27) Man is not God. He resembles God. God has given man authority and power in which He must walk in.
A man is nothing without the LORD (John 15:5). God physically made man out of dust. It is God who made man a living being.This occurred when God breathed His breath into man’s nostrils. Man should never forget who breath he is breathing. Man should always be aware that every time he opens his mouth, whatever he (speaks) breathes, it moves: what he speaks comes to life. Man should be very careful of the words he speaks to his wife. Man should perceive whatever he calls his wife, that will she be. He must live to minister to his wife in words and deeds.
It is the man’s job to work and take care of his household financially. “The Lord God took man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Genesis 2:15
It is the man’s job to create healthy boundaries. Man must create boundaries in all relationships as relates to money, . And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you do, you will surely die.” Genesis 1:15-17
Man must recognize everything God created was good until now, see verses; (). In fact, God said because it’s not good for man to be alone, I will make him a suitable helper. God said a wife is a suitable helper. She helps the husband. She’s not primary leader. This is the first time God said “it is not good”, God said “it is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. (Genesis 2:18) The husband must truly understand his wife is a “purpose” helper.
Husbands must love his wife as he loves himself. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself (Ephesians 5:25-33). This is going to sound weird and it is but this is God’s way of doing life: Husband’s are to fully assume responsibility for their wives. He’s in a sense a father as well.
Aren’t you elated God has outlined clear instructions on how a husband is to lead his wife. No matter if we agree or not, God’s word proves success and is the only right way to truly succeed.
