Bible Question: If a marriage fails, does God look down on the man more? |
Bible Answer: Dear cboyer….Welcome to the Forum :-)…....If your question asks whether the man, a Christian, is biblically more responsible for the success of a marriage than the woman, a Christian, I would suggest that the evidence says yes. It is the role of the man to be the spiritual leader of his house. Leading his family in a biblical manner would, by definition, exclude a reason for a marriage to fail and to perhaps end in a divorce. To have a marriage fail would mean that the man failed in his biblical role. And a reason for divorce is not the failure of the woman in her biblical role, but her failure may hasten his failure. But, above all, God does not “look down” on this Christian pair. Rather, He sees the Blood of His Son. If the question is simply hypothetical then I hope my reply will help. But if you ask in order for the Lord to provide solace in the comfort of His alliance in the matter, or even fodder for a sharp tongue, I suggest you be still and pray for the persons you have in mind. COL 3:18-19 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. God Bless….Jensen |
