Bible Question: why do so many men have a hard time with the man being the Head of the House |
Bible Answer: Unfortuantely, I think it is in large part because of the culture we live in. As we drift away from the Bible and God being the focus, we replace our focus with "me". Women think of submission as being unequal and don't understand the importance of the role as "helpmeet". So their is a striving for control. Men don't take on the role as spiritual head of house and if they heard that they were head of the house, they don't understand the biblical function of the head of house. If both of these roles are understood before marriage, a lot of problems would not crop up. This does not apply to all men and women, understand, but those that do not have solid biblical knowledge of the plan of God for the family. Debbie |
