The Christian’s model for husbandly conduct is Jesus Christ Himself, whom the Bible pictures as a husband to the Church, which is described as His bride (Revelation 21:2). Thus, God expects a Christian husband to love his wife sacrificially, fully, and unconditionally. The Christian husband is expected to be willing to give everything, including his lifeblood, if necessary, for the benefit and welfare of his wife. He promotes her spiritual well-being as a fellow-heir of eternal life (1 Peter 3:7). He doesn’t ask what he can get from her, but thinks of what he can be and do for her. Ephesians 5 describes how a loving Christian husband is the instrument of Christ’s love for his wife and is at the same time a model of Christ’s love for His church, which are at the same time a great honor and a great responsibility. The husband is also the head of his family. Just as a Christian husband cannot love and lead his wife apart from the power of the Holy Spirit, so he cannot love and raise his children in the admonition of the Lord apart from the power of the Holy Spirit.
