Let both men and their faithful companions be equal in relationships before Christ, in Scripture for the wife 1 and for the husband their roles are distinguished in the marriage union.
How a husband should treat his wife
The husband in family relationships is obliged by the Bible to take the lead in the family home (Corinthians 11: 3, Ephesians 5:23). At the same time, this leadership should not be a manifestation of dictatorship or condescension from the husband, but it should fully correspond in all respects to the example of the leadership of the Church from Christ.
As stated in Ephesians 5: 25-26, husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church with all his heart and essence. Christ gave his own life to the Church in order to fill it with God.
Christ loves his people and the Church, showed sympathy for her, as well as forgiveness, mercy and selflessness. Husbands should have exactly the same attitude towards their wives.
The role of the wife in the family
The first and most important thing to note is that a woman needs to marry a man whom she respects. The main and main duty of a wife in marriage is to show respect to her husband, and this, in turn, requires obedience and honor from a woman.
Also, a woman needs to give birth to children, and then engage in their upbringing and caring for them with great tenderness.
The Bible also obliges wives to be home keepers and to be industrious when it comes to home. Homework, which the Bible says is a wife’s responsibility, consists of three main activities - raising the children, keeping it clean, and cooking.
If the wife is competent in any other matters, her work at a certain time will take the wife out of the family home. The Bible does not say that a woman should work from home. She teaches that it is the home that is the priority.
And, of course, the Bible teaches idleness, in which you cannot throw money down the drain. Therefore, the wife's duty is to take the shops as her duty and her work, and not as entertainment.
How a wife should relate to her husband according to the Bible
The wife must fully satisfy the husband and his needs for intimate life (1 Cor. 7: 2-5). But this does not mean that the wife should "agree" whenever the husband wants it. This means that the wife must respond with love to his love. God gave man sexual intercourse and made it a cure for fornication.
The wife should try not to argue with her husband or irritate him. Women were rewarded with a sharp tongue to be used to help their husbands.
The Bible also teaches people that a wife needs to learn from her husband, and a husband is obliged to teach and instruct his wife (1 Cor. 14: 34-35).
