Husbands And Wives Have To Stand Under God’s Authority Before They Can Understand Authority In Marriage.

1 Corinthians 11:3
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

I. MEN (JOB DESCRIPTION: SACRIFICE)

Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.”

* Sacrificially

* Selflessly

* Steadfastly

1 Peter 3:7
“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.”

II. WOMEN (JOB DESCRIPTION: SUBMISSION)

Ephesians 5:22
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”
(Eph. 5:25 "as" for men too)

Ephesians 5:22-24
22 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.”

Submission Misconceptions
* Mindless
* Manipulative
* Masquerade

Genesis 3:16
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
