The larger problem in marriage is not women who do not know how to be women and wives, as large of a problem as this may be in our society. The trouble is with men who do not know how to be men and husbands. Some men want to reap all of the benefits of married life without the responsibilities of being a husband, acting as if they were “single.”
As with the husband’s role in love, his role in headship has for its corresponding example Christ.
The husband is head of the wife even as Christ is Head of the ecclesia (Ephesians 5:23, CV).
Of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God (I Corinthians 11:3, YLT).
For husbands, learning the role of Christ to our wives is one of the richest experiences of life.
