Would you please share some scriptu...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Would you please share some scriptures which would allow me to understand your assertion that this testimony "isn't Biblical"? Thanks<br /><br />While it isn't "all dependent" on the man to work in the marriage, the person writing the testimony isn't suggesting that entirely. It is scriptural that the man leads in the marriage, and that includes repentance and humbling one's self when needed. You asked where it is in the Bible where the man leads in marriage, and by leading is responsible for the marriage and initiates actions regarding it. Those scriptures are here,<br /><br />But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3).<br /><br />Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body (Ephesians 5:22-30).<br /><br /> He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? (1 Timothy 3:4)<br /><br />Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-45780577146834092112016-05-31T17:35:37.594-04:002016-05-31T17:35:37.594-04:00What about the wife submitting to the husband?
