Many wives want their husbands to LEAD, but how can you lead when you don’t quite know what KINGDOM LEADERSHIP looks like. Husbands, your position of a husband carries major responsibilities. In order to lead your family, it takes looking up to YOUR leader for guidance and mentorship. CHRIST is your head! You may not have seen leadership modeled by your father or another strong role model, BUT CHRIST is your example. Study the life of Christ! We often share how a husband should love his wife AS CHRIST loved the church, but what does that look like? It looks like servitude & sacrifice. These are the two main characteristics most men struggle with in their marriage! We often hear the word SELFISHNESS come up in our marriage sessions as a wife is sharing what she needs from her husband. DYING TO SELF don’t feel good to no one, we get it, but it develops us on the inside. True love is sacrificial, it’s patience, kind, not rude or irritable.
Communicating with your wife in LOVE should always include gentleness & tact. We as a church, follow Christ because he FIRST loved us! It’s HIS goodness & kindness towards US that draws us to repentance & change. His love is consistent & unconditional. Leading your family takes having the love of God in your heart. You are appreciated for being the provider and protector. Your wife is also looking for your leadership in your behavior & attitude towards her. She’s looking for your love to be expressed through your caring, gentle, sacrificial, LOVING & FAITHFUL care of her heart!
