The Head In The Marriage

The Head

 

" For the husband is the head of the wife ,even Christ is the head of the church : and saviour of the body ." Ephesians 5:23 

Every thing that God created have a head and so is the marriage , the head of the marriage is and has always been the man .The head is the leader ,ruler and decision maker every facet of leadership in a body .The man is highly esteemed as a leader who controls the affairs in a matrimonial home .Therefore ,there  must be room for submission in the heart of the woman for her head ,who is the man .

The word of God says " Wives ,submit yourselves unto your own husbands ,as unto the Lord ." Ephesians 5:22 To submit is to humbly accept the authority of the man who is her husband .He must also prove to be the head ,by knowing the way forward  in the the  Leadership  facet of the marriage .This means the man must show intelligence and integrity of character .

The husband takes decisions and releases visions ,dreams , and goals for the family .This can however happen  in an environment where  the wife is submissive and has really accepted the husband to be who God has ordained him to be the marriage ,that is the head ." Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ ,so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing .." Ephesians 5:24 

Nowadays ,a lot of  marriages are collapsing because of no submission ; many wives do not submit to their husbands as the head. Many women would rather divorce their husbands than to submit to them because of pride .For those women who choose to be wife material ,they become submissive to their husbands ." But I would have you know the head of every man is Christ ; and the head of the woman is the man ,and the head of Christ is God ."1Corinhians 11:3
