I think it is quite illuminating that the counterpart to the wife's command to submit to her husband is that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church and to give himself for her. Such love requires that we begin with service and humility. Thanks for the read and the comment. It is difficult to behave as you describe. I think the little things matter.

Precisely. I think it is quite illuminating that the counterpart to the wife’s command to submit to her husband is that the husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church and to give himself for her. Such love requires that we begin with service and humility.

Thanks for the read and the comment.

Of course, there would be some who would view your sentiments as further evidence of the insidious patriarchal narrative/oppression which infects our society. Fortunately, I, and I assume you as well, are married to women who don't buy into that. It is difficult to behave as you describe. I think the little things matter. Yes, we are the leader but we are to act like Christ. We must pick up and carry the burden, too. Marriage is not about power. It is not "zero-sum." Most people don't understand that. More's the pity. Cheers. Spot on.
