Unity
and Love Guides Decision Making.
What does the husband's "headship" mean
when it comes to decision making? Does it mean that he is the decision
maker? That he makes decisions and then informs the wife? In I Cor. 11:3
we are told that God the Father is the "head" of God the Son.
Does God the Father then make decisions independently from God the Son?
The answer is "No" for one very profound reason. They are One.·
There is perfect unity between God the Father and God the Son. God the
Father is not a dictator over the Son. He is the leader among equals.
This is demonstrated in Genesis 1:26 where we read:
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness." God the Father is leading a conversation among the
Trinity. But since the three are one there is perfect love and perfect
unity.
So the husband is the loving leader among equals. He
takes initiative to lead the couple to a wise decision, but since he is
"one" with his wife, it is unthinkable that he would make the
decision without consulting with her. Unity and love are the guiding
lights in decision making.
