Men
Many men have chickened-out from being real Godly men. They ignore the importance of relying on God for a spouse. They never approach the throne of mercy and grace with confidence and make their requests known to God. They rely on their own strength - the arm of the flesh which always fails. It is not the woman’s problem. It is the man solely to blame.
No man worth the title husband should demand respect or submission from the wife if he has not submitted to the authority of Jesus Christ. The same God who commanded the wife to submit to the husband is the very same God who commanded the husband to first submit to Him and also love the wife unconditionally, just as He loved the church. This is not a call for the wife to disobey, far from it, but for the husband to set his priorities right.
The chain of command is very clear: JESUS >HUSBAND > WIFE.
Not just : HUSBAND > WIFE.
A man who has submitted himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is not an endangered species as it is being said of men today. He is assured of God’s protection, 1 John 4:4, and God’s deliverance. Jesus is his Lord. He is husband material. Are you wife material?
