After leaving father and mother, reponsibility towards his wife should come first. (Gen.2:24; Matt.19:5; Mark 10:7) If I understand your question "when does a man become a man" in a relationship? .. a man should be a man before he marries. Are you asking what his responsibilities are in that relationship? |

You are talking about the relationship between a husband and wife, correct? Not simply a relationship between a man and women (girlfriend)? Once married a man's main responsibility is towards his wife. The Bible says that a man should leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife. I believe it is his responsibility to provide for her and his children. These days that may be a very difficult thing to do though on one salary. It is also his reponsibility to "love" his wife. For an explanation of love please see 1Cor.13:4-7. A very important responsibility of the husband as head of the wife, is to make certain that they are both heading the same direction spiritually (Eph.25:11). He will encourage his wife in spiritual matters. I think this is one reason that God's word says that we should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever (2Cor.6:14). A husband and wife have become "one", and if they are pulling against one another it causes strive. This becomes especially evident when children are involved. I also believe that it is his responsibility to "protect". I don't have scripture on this, but the physical attributes seem to obviously point to that for me. I would also like to add, that a man also retains a responsibility towards his mother when the father is no longer able to support or care for her. In fact I think he does towards both parents if and when they need. Anyone else? How much am I missing? |

There, Excellent post. We are to be considerate and treat our wives with respect, remembering both are heirs ... so that your prayer life won't be hindered (1Pe 3:7). In this verse the wife is the weaker one, so it is up to us to protect her. Love always protects (1Co 13:7). Steve |
