Slide12The Position of Husband (Head)But I want you to know that
the head of every man is Christ
,
the head of woman
is
man
, and the head of Christ
is
God. 1
Cor
11:3 (NKJV)
Wives, submit to your own husbands
, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Eph 5:22-23 (NKJV)one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 1 Tim 3:4-5 (NKJV)
Husbands, likewise, dwell with
them with understanding,
giving honor to the wife
, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
1 Peter 3:7 (NKJV)
Husbands, love your wives
and
do not be bitter
toward them. Col 3:19 (NKJV)
So husbands ought to
love their own wives as their own bodies
; he who loves his wife loves himself.
Eph
5:28 (NKJV)
Slide13The Position of Wife (Helper)And the
Lord
God said, "
It is

a helper comparable

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ,
the head of woman
is
man
, and the head of Christ
is God. 1 Cor 11:3 (NKJV)Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Eph 5:22 (NKJV; See also Col 3:18)Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman
to teach or
to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 1 Tim 2:11-12 (NKJV)
to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good,
obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Titus 2:5 (NKJV)See also 1 Peter 3:1-6
