Satan actively bombards the news media, television, movies, radio, print, schools, legislation, and every other area. People don t know what to believe. All through the Bible God shows us His order in marriage. The husband is to be the head of the family, taking his direction and instruction from Christ. The wife is next in God s plan, followed by the children.
Children are to be in submission to parents.
It s like a ladder with Christ at the top, husband next, then wife, then children. If the husband decides to act independently of Christ, he fails. If a wife tries to take over in making all the decisions, handling all the money, or any other shared responsibility, she is working against the plan of God, and she fails. When we step out of the role God has planned for us, then we are walking with our defenses down. We are open for attack.
