It is hardship and grief to those wives who have to lead the family in the right path because the husband will not. It is sin for a husband to leave the spiritual training and all the rules of the household to the wife to deal with day in and day out without support.
I meet so many woman like this who are burdened for their children because their husbands play with the children but almost nothing else. The mother gains the reputation of the severe one because she is going it alone in the training of the children.
Ladies need to pray for their husbands to take initiative in the training and correcting of the children or the children will learn to resist training. The husband always leads, either for God or against Him by lack of leading. Even when the wife does what is right the children will go with the lenient one, the one who approves of everything without restraint.
Karen Long shared this:
Husbands: Being the head of the household means work, duty, and great responsibility. The head of the household is the one responsible for everything that happens in the family. You cannot enjoy the privileges of headship and not be willing to shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. You can’t franchise, subcontract or outsource your husband responsibilities and not hurt your wife and marriage. You are accountable to God for the physical and spiritual welfare of your family. Make your wife’s life easier by carrying all your responsibilities dutifully. Your wife was not created to play her role and yours at the same time. Your wife should not live like a widow while you are still alive. You are the CEO, you are the Priest, Provider and Protector of the family. Therefore be involved. Be present. Take charge. Work hard. Pray, plan and execute. Remember your wife is your “suitable helper” not the other way round. Let your wife thank God that she is married to you.
