"The Perfect Will" in love
His Authority-Her Submission
To get things right in marriage by not defying the perfect will according to its natural order. A woman learns in silence with all submission, and does not have authority over a man(1Tim.2:11-14)
The union between a man and a woman makes them one flesh, with each assigned unique responsibilities to carry out. Nonetheless, they must work together as a team, sharing responsibilities, and filling in for each other.
The man steps in as the head of the family, and the woman assumes her responsibilities by the side of the man and plays the role of a supportive character to keep the marriage intact.It occurs in this order, and is preserved to be passed down to generations.
Life happens, and can put either the man or woman in compromising situations where they need to embrace responsibilities originally meant for the other party. But in any case, they still hold their respective role status as either the "head" or "supportive character".
A man's ego makes him desire superiority and dominance. His inability to satisfy this desire bruises his ego. A woman's role as a wife is to submit and revere her husband irrespective of her social status or educational background.
A woman can only exercise her authority as a "Boss lady" at work and her subordinates required to give her the respect she deserves. But once she hits home, she assumes her place as a wife and must submit under the authority of her husband.
It is only natural for a woman to comply, cooperate, support and submit in marriage.This doesn't come as a struggle to women as much as it would be for men.This is why a man should always be a step ahead to help him operate in his rightful place as the head,guide,teacher and mentor.
With this, his innate desire for dominance as naturally conferred on him is fulfilled.The woman on the other hand gets to submit per the natural order, which then ensures they are both placed where they are meant to be.This doesn't subject a woman to slavery, and won't stop her from being assertive in marriage
A wise man understands his innate desire for dominance, and of one who stands in as the head of the family. However, he also recognizes the unique abilities of his spouse that makes her capable of directing him appropriately.
His position as an authority figure doesn't stop him from listening to her views, suggestions, and corrections. If only it's done the right way, a wise man would oblige.
