Can you define the role of marriage for the Christian husband?

1. The role of the husband is that of exercising loving headship: “The head of a woman [wife] is the man.” (1 Cor. 11:3) “A husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation.” (Ephesians 5:23) A family is a miniature organization, and every organization must have a head if it is to survive and realize its purpose. A mature man is mentally, physically, emotionally and biologically fitted to take the lead in the family.

A loving husband takes his wife and children's needs, thoughts, and feelings into consideration before making a decision. But it is necessary for the welfare of the family to have someone authorized to make final decisions, and God has assigned that role to the husband.

2. “Husbands, continue loving your wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it . . . In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it.” Eph. 5:25-29

Husbands have the primary obligation to provide for the material and spiritual needs of the household. (1 Tim. 5:8)

They are also encouraged to be considerate of their wife’s emotional needs. At Colossians 3:19, we read: “You husbands, keep on loving your wives and do not be bitterly angry with them.”

3.

The consequences for not providing for one's family: 1 Timothy 5:8 says "Certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith." So certainly God would not approve of such a person.

The consequences for unrepentant adultery or other gross vices:

1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 says "What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom."

The consequences for a husband neglecting his wife's emotional needs or abusing her in any way: 1 Peter 3:7 "YOU husbands, continue dwelling in like manner with them according to knowledge, assigning them honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one, since YOU are also heirs with them of the undeserved favor of life, in order for YOUR prayers not to be hindered." So if a man is not making a concerted effort to live up to God's standards, his prayers won't go past the ceiling. Also from that verse we see another requirement for a husband, that he treat his wife in a loving way, and recognizes her unique circumstances. (for instance, that time of the month) ;)

There is more to learn and to much to write about all the wonderful counsel for all members of the family and fulfilling their roles. When everyone does their part, family life is truly a joy!

RE:

Can you define the role of marriage for the Christian husband?

Here is the challenge…

Can anyone please give me the Biblical definition of the role, responsibilities and requirements God has for the Christian husband?

1. Role – Define the roll

2. Requirements God asks of them

3. Responsibility of the role

4. What will God hold them accountable...

Fu is being stupid and is very much wrong. You are to love your wife as God loves the church. That woman is made from your rib to stand beside, not from your feet to be walked on. So his theory of beating and rapping is stupid and ridiculous.

A christian husband should love his wife and care for his family, teaching Jesus' name. A husband is not held more accountable as a married man. He is a Christian that should live a Christian lifestyle.

I'm sorry I don't have verses to give you. Pray to God only He can tell you how to be good to your family

21 Be in subjection to one another in fear of Christ. 22 Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of [this] body. 24 In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, continue loving YOUR wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it, 26 that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word, 27 that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, not having a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, 29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation

Ephesians 5:21-29

Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one,

And anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates.

Psalms 11:5

Women and men are not to be abused in any fashion.

May I suggest you et a copy of the "Secret To Family Happiness" book from Jehovah's Witnesses when they come calling. If they don't have one on them they will bring you one, if you ask for it.

We all will be held responsible for what we have and have not done in our lives. We must watch how we walk and talk, especially in the treatment of others.

Bible asks husband to love the wife,just as christ loved church.That is to give his life, husband must love and respect his wife.It asks wife to submit to her husband in all matters,just as church submit to christ.
