Marriage Mistake #5 - He won't LEAD! / She won't FOLLOW!

You both become less than what God intended as a man and woman, and lose respect for one another over time

• The wife becomes
  • Controlling
  • Focused on the kids,
  • Grows increasingly more bitter
• The husband withdraws more and more into work or play and grows
  • Cold and hard
  • Gives up
  • Stops contributing meaningfully
  • Stops fighting her

Assume and fulfill the roles God has assigned each of you in the marriage

• Know and understand what the Bible says about your prescribed roles (it's clear; they are distinct)
  • Difference is by God's design.
  • The difference is consistent with the roles God created in marriage.
• Trust God as you faithfully fulfill your assigned roles.
  • Husbands LEAD!
  • Wives FOLLOW!
