  2. The Role of the Husband Colossians 3:19 Our relationships with one another are dependent on living as those who have been raised up with Christ 2 Peter 3:14

  3. The Role of the Husband Colossians 3:19 Put off the old man and his ways - Colossians 3:5-11 Put on the new man and his ways - Colossians 3:12-17 Colossians 3:18-4:1 - family and work relationships

  4. The Importance of Marriage Marriage is the foundation of the family and of society The quest for hedonistic fulfillment is antagonistic to godliness and detrimental to society God established marriage (Genesis 3), only He can define it and the roles of the husband and wife

  5. The Role of Husbands If a husband will love his wife, it makes it easy for her to respect and submit to him and vica versa The curse of sin and its innate selfishness makes it difficult for husband and wife to fulfill their roles

  6. Love ajgapavw / agapaô - the love that arises from the will & sacrifices itself for the good of the other person Ephesians 5:25 Ephesians 5:28-29 The love a husband gives to his wife will be to his own benefit

  7. Love Ephesians 5:33 1) She serves an unappetizing meal Grateful for her service & care Irritated you didn’t get what you like Making plans to go out and get a burger later

  8. Love 2) Your wife as the flu – interfering with your long planned event What an opportunity to prove how much I love her. Why is God punishing me? Maybe I can get her mother to come watch her and the kids?

  9. Love 3) She interrupts you saying, “Honey, I have a problem” Get excited she things so highly of your wisdom Want her to go away and come again some other day Get a chill down your spine that you could be in trouble

  10. Love 4) You have given your wife a solution to her problem and she keeps talking Why doesn’t she just thank me and leave? Uh oh, she’s a bit dense today She is really troubled, I wonder how else I can encourage her?

  11. Love To love your wife as God commands –as Christ loved the church; as your own body; as yourself - will require sacrifice on your part

  12. Not Embittered Colossians 3:19b pikraivnw / pikrainô - disagreeable, harsh, sharp, angry, jealous. This command is a contrast to love - and is applied when the proper roles are not being fulfilled. A husband who does not love, even momentarily, can become selfishly bitter or be provoked to it

  13. Not Embittered Colossians 3:19b Ephesians 4:31-32 - bitterness is part of the old life that is to be put away 1 Peter 3:7 “live with her according to knowledge” - your wife is to be your life study Titus 2:3-5 - older women are to teach younger women how to love their husbands

  14. Not Embittered Colossians 3:19b Women are declared to be a “weaker vessel” most likely a reference to her emotional makeup – 1 Tim. 2:14 The husband is to grant her honor - being a “weaker vessel” is not being inferior

  15. Leadership Ephesians 5:23; 1 Corinthians 11:3 The husband has a responsibility to lead his wife as her head All men are under the authority of and accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ - including non-Christians A leader is responsible for all decisions made under him - including those of his wife and children

  16. Leadership Ephesians 5:23; 1 Corinthians 11:3 A primary role of leading is to direct the wife and family to holiness - Ephesians 5:23-24

  17. Leadership Ephesians 5:23; 1 Corinthians 11:3 The example of an unequally yoked husband is even more critical Attract her to salvation in Christ Drive her away because of her rejection of Christ She thinks you are a fanatic but stays with you anyway because she knows no other man would treat her as well as you

  18. Leadership Ephesians 5:23; 1 Corinthians 11:3 Leadership also encompasses responsibility for protection from physical danger and moral evils.

  19. Provider1 Timothy 5:8 Provision is more about trusting the Lord - Matthew 6:33 - than how much money you make 1 Timothy 6:8 - we are to be content with just food and covering. The quest to provide material things can become the trap of materialism and coveting

  20. Provider1 Timothy 5:8 Disobedience to God’s commands or failure to keep His priorities only leads to tragedy What your wife and family needs is you, not an abundance of stuff you can provide

  21. Conclusion Love your wife sacrificially, give her your time and godly leadership - that is the true role of a husband
