Husband and Wife should be expected
Wife
A good wife is a partner, supporter, and nurturer, not a servant to control.
Biblical Expectations:
- Submission with wisdom: She respects her husband’s leadership in the home (Ephesians 5:22-24) while maintaining discernment and integrity.
- Faithfulness: Loyalty and commitment, protecting the marriage covenant.
- Wisdom and guidance: She speaks truth with love, encourages growth, and helps maintain peace.
Social/Practical Expectations:
- Supports the household: Manages responsibilities at home, especially with children, finances, or shared tasks.
- Emotional maturity: Handles conflict without manipulation, communicates clearly, and practices patience.
- Independence with contribution: Uses her talents, education, and skills to strengthen the family and, if desired, contribute to the community or career.
Summary: A wife brings character, partnership, and consistency, not just charm or credentials. She strengthens, nurtures, and co-leads with her husband.
For a Husband
A good husband is a leader, protector, and servant, not a dictator or absentee partner.
Biblical Expectations:
- Loves sacrificially: He loves his wife as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25), putting her wellbeing above self-interest.
- Provides and protects: Ensures the safety, security, and provision for his family.
- Leads with humility: Makes decisions with accountability and seeks partnership rather than domination.
Social/Practical Expectations:
- Reliability: Consistently contributes to household responsibilities and finances.
- Emotional maturity: Communicates openly, listens actively, and models patience and restraint.
- Integrity and respect: Treats his wife with honor, values her opinions, and encourages her personal growth.
Summary: A husband brings protection, leadership, and love, balancing authority with accountability, and always modeling respect and care.
