In this daily Bible reading Paul says that ”Christ is the head of every man, and the man is head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.” In today’s society, this is a controversial statement. However, this relationship produces good order and stability.
A good marriage is one in which the man is the leader. He is physically stronger than the woman, and he provides protection for his family. In most cases the father financially supports his family. The father protects and nourishes his family.
The Bible says that the husband should also be the family’s spiritual leader. The father should teach and guide his family in accordance with the Bible.
America is experiencing moral decay. I believe this is primarily the result husbands and fathers leaving their families.
When a father leaves, the family is destabilized. The children frequently turn to sinful lifestyles and to criminal activities. Indeed, a strong husband and father is essential to a good and strong family. So is a good wife and mother. Both are essential.
