In Part One, we learned that marriage is an institution ordained by God from the very beginning, when Eve was made a help for Adam as God knew that it was no good for man to be alone.
In this second part, we’ll look at the gender roles for men and women in a marriage as instructed in the Bible.
Husbands
Perhaps the most important passage in the Bible on the role of the husband in a marriage is found in Ephesians 5:23 –
For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Ephesians 5:23
That sets the tone for any marriage. The husband is the head of the family, just as Christ Jesus is the head of the church.
