You\u2019re a man of God striving to be a godly husband. But how do you define the duties of a Christian husband by Biblical standards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A godly household reflects a higher order under Christ\u2019s authority. Paul reminds Christians to submit to one another [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Eph%205.%2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ephesians 5:21, NIV<\/a>]. and wives to submit to husbands as to the Lord [Ephesians 22]. The verses that follow provide important context for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Eph%205.%2021-33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ephesians 5:21-33<\/a>. For husbands, it\u2019s a high bar! But when you step up as a servant-leader in the footsteps of Christ, you\u2019re worthy of your wife\u2019s submission and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the game of life and within the boundaries of marriage, there are scriptural guidelines to be sure. The 10 Commandments [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Exod%2020.%201-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exodus 20: 1-26<\/a>], Sermon on the Mount [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Matt%205.1-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 5:1-11<\/a>], and bottom-line basics [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/John%203.16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John 3:16<\/a>] are fundamental. As a Christian husband and leader of your household, stay close to your wife and follow God\u2019s playbook \u2013 the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your wife is your life\u2019s partner, beloved friend, and helpmate [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Gen%202.18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genesis 2:18<\/a>]. Talk and pray together often [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Matt%2018.20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 18:20<\/a>]. Trust God at every turn. After all, you have a direct line to His wisdom [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/James%201.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James 1:5<\/a>]! Be steadfast and abound in the Lord\u2019s work, but remember that victory comes through Christ [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/1%20Cor%2015.57-58\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Corinthians 15:57-58<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the role of a Christian husband?

Do everything in His name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marriage is rewarding, demanding, and often painstakingly \u201cordinary.\u201d From small chores to big repairs, it\u2019s easy to forget why it all matters. You\u2019re called to love one another [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/John%2013.34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John 13:34<\/a>], act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Micah%206.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Micah 6:8<\/a>].

Play to win<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripture reminds you to follow the rules, train your body and bring it under control if you want to win the crown that lasts forever [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/1%20Cor%209.24-27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 Corinthians 9:24-27<\/a>]. The win is salvation \u2013 for you, your wife, and others. As a godly man, a Christian husband, and the leader of your household, you\u2019re playing for keeps \u2013 an eternal crown that\u2019s better than any earthbound trophy, prize, or bragging rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-source-serif-font-family has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cHowever, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.\u201d<\/em> \u2013[Ephesians 5:33, NIV]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><strong>3.

Take out the garbage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you need perspective, Paul doesn\u2019t mince words: <em>\u201cI consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

Sometimes, it\u2019s easier to fix leaky faucets, flat tires, or squeaky furniture than to heal emotional wounds, patch up conflicts, restore lost faith or mend broken hearts. If you find yourself short-tempered, slow to forgive, or distracted by earthly vs. heavenly goals [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Matt%206.19-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 6:19-21<\/a>], step aside, take a deep breath, and regroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are your goals motivated by greed or pride? Do you resort to substance abuse, angry tirades, or other vices versus positive, proactive actions? Do your critical words discourage others? Toss the ungodly trash in your life. Strive to focus instead on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy [<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Phil%204.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philippians 4:8<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, your wife will appreciate it if you literally take out the garbage, too \u2013 whether or not that\u2019s on your list of things to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Let the Spirit empower you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christ\u2019s disciples often fell short.
