Am just listening to a sermon downloaded online. It talks about husband should be leading in the marriage, even when it's full load.
There will be season of our lives as husbands where we find we are carrying the full load. Being the head of the house, the last thing we should be is that our wives reminding us to live a Godly lives, running away from the load.
It's means a lot to be a husband. Husband that gave his word to his wife in the presences of God. This is not saying that the man should always earns more and not letting his wife help financially.
We are talking about the most important thing in life. Not career, not money, not his hobbies, not children's future, but God.
Even when the load is heavy, we should love our wife the way that pleases God.
So husbands, lead your wives in Godly living; prayer, attending service, read the bible, serving God (just to name a few). For if we are Christian husbands, we should never let our wives fear that she had married the wrong guy, a worldly guy. Totally different from the man they met before, Christian man. We odd to be the same man that gave our word when we are declared husband and wife in the presences of God on that wonderful day.
So dear brothers, dun lose focus. As for those who are wanting/intending to get married, please understand the full load a husband should be carrying. If not before you know it, your wife are about to get married will becomes your slaves. Of course not saying that single man should not take the load but understand the greater load a man has to bear when he has a wife. Even when we are single, God also give us our load to bear for him.
God, please help us to be Godly husbands, and also prepare all the single brothers to work towards this, God focus lives.
