Responsibility
1. Husband bears the responsibility before God to lead Women, in a God-honoring manner, to sacrificially love her by protecting and providing for her well-being.
Supporting Scriptures
Ephesians 5:28-29
So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
Responsibility
2.Wife bears the responsibility to voluntarily submit to her husband's leadership, to support his authority, and to work alongside him in their common purpose of bringing glory to God.
Supporting Scriptures
I Peter 3:1-2
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
3. Leave all other loyalities behind.
'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother.........' This is a very strong idea and contradicts with the 5th Cmmandment of God's law which says 'Honor your father and your mother'.
This does not speak about sons to turn their back on parents rather he is to leave the authority of his parents in order to establish a new authority of his own (along with his wife). Parents cannot function as a surrogate head for him. The parent-child relationship is temporary, but the husband-wife relationship is permanent - 'till death do us part.'
4. Be absolute loyal to your mate.
'..............and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
This verse rules out polygamy '.. be joined to his wife..' not to his wives
GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE AT THE VERY CREATION OF THE HUMAN RACE, WAS ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
