IN MARRIAGE THE HUSBAND IS THE HEAD. However, he doesn’t have the monopoly of the ideas for running the Home and Family. He must recognize this early in Marriage and save himself a lot of needless misunderstanding with his wife.

In Marriage, there must be openness, humility and the willingness to see the merits of your Spouse’s ideas and accept them with gratitude.

This means that in Marriage, it’s important to compromise, flex and adapt when your Spouse comes up with a more brilliant approach to solving a problem. The husband must never feel too big to drop his proposal when it’s obvious that the wife’s view is better and more profitable for the family.

The Husband is the Head but this doesn’t mean that he must be headstrong, self-willed and obstinate.

The Husband’s Headship is not for showing off. It’s for serving as The Coordinator of the family. He’s the Superintendent or Overseer of the family. He should discover, appreciate and believe in the abilities of his wife and children and use them for the progress of the Family. This is where the wisdom of mutual submission comes in:

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”(Ephesians 5:21)
The husband should submit to wife’s idea when it’s the best and vice versa. The parents should also submit to the children’s ideas when they’re apparently the best.

David was and till this day remains Israel’s most illustrious King. But anointed and highly respected as he was, he recognized the special gift of God that was in Ahithophel the Gilonite, whose counsels were always perfectly accurate. He never argued with him just because he was the crowned King. Instead he submitted to those wonderful advice and his administration flourished through them.

Similarly, husband’s must recognize the gifts, strength and talents in their wife and children and engage them for the good of the Home and Family.

It’s important to say this at this point. The Wife and the children must recognize and honour the position of the husband as the Head and Father in the Family. This means that the wife and the children must offer their ideas and views with all humility and reverence for the Father of the Home and not with pride and arrogance.

We can learn from Ahithophel who most definitely presented his counsels to King David with humility and NEVER with arrogance as to challenge him.

When a Wife presents her views in the spirit of countering her husband and rubbishing him, it’s most likely to be rejected as no one would like to be made to look like a fool.

Present your ideas to your husband with gentleness and humility and allow him time to think over it and come to a sober decision. And when he has accepted it, thank him for accepting for that will make his heart open to your future suggestions.
