When You’ve Been Married a While: Husbands, Lead
At first glance, the Bible’s instructions for husbands sound right up our alley. The husband is head of the wife? Cool. Honey, go make dinner while I take a nap. But listen how the Bible describes Christian headship: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25). You might say that Christ loved us to death. His death.
This is Christ-love for husbands: loving her not for what I get out of it but loving to give, loving to make her life better, loving in terms that make sense to her. This is headship: not exhausting her with my expectations and demands but giving myself up for her.
You have bigger muscles and a bigger frame, not to enforce your will but to provide her with a feeling of security. You have less emotional vulnerability so that you can be the rock in her life.
Let’s review: What happens when you lead in your home the way Christ leads his people? She will love it. Christ will love it. You will love it.

These devotions, one for each day of your month, are for married people, for those who hope to be married, and for all of you who used to be married. Re-listen to God's words about this sacred institution and rededicate your ways to be more like his ways.
