The Biblical Model
of a Husband
In the contemporary world, perhaps
nowhere has confusion reigned more than in the area of the husband's role in marriage. On
one extreme is the concept of the dominant husband who makes all decisions and informs the
wife as to what they are going to do, who does not tolerate questions from his wife or his
children, and who believes that it is his responsibility to control all the major
decisions regarding family life while the wife "takes care of the children." On
the other extreme is the more contemporary "don't count on me" husband who
expects the wife to support the family and make all the major decisions while he is the
resident sports information source and keeps his muscles bulging with workouts at the
local gym so that his wife will "be proud of him."
Somewhere between these two concepts is a healthy middle
road where the husband is a responsible, dependable, leading but non-domineering husband
who is deeply committed to his wife and family. This is the biblical model we will focus
on this week.
