God should lead the family. This powerful man of the universe wanted people to read the Bible and find the answer to this question. God wanted the man to be the head of the household as stated in the Bible. The real head of the household is God. By obeying his commands the husband is the one God wants to guide the family into a strong relationship with each other.
Every family needs a leader. God made the man the strongest for a reason. He knew he would have to carry his family's burdens, and help them learn how to stand tall with pride. Husbands grow into fathers. Now! There's more to be in charge of. The head of the household should to keep everybody's emotions in tack, as well as keep enough food on the table.
God made Adam first. He knew the woman would need someone to guide her. Adam tried but failed when he was tempted by the eating of that one forbidden fruit. He then becomes a mere sinful human being. He still had direct orders from God to provide and care for his family.
Men are now allowing their wives to go into the work force more these days. The Bible tells God's people that he wanted the women to stay home and raise their children. The husband was to be the bread winner. Times have changed. Now people want more material possessions. The husband as head of the household should stop frivolous spending of family money. It should be used for necessities first then used for other things later.
God tells his people in the Bible to serve only him. That is a positive sign that the leader of the world is God. Every family needs God as their leader, however God knew people needed earthly leaders. Man is God's choice. People need to respect the call from the heavens and let our universal leader tells us whose in charge. The man shall be each family's leader.
The word leader in,'The New Webster's Thesaurus,' means captain, chief and commander, etc. All of these words stand for one powerful word. That word is guidance. The one who leads the family needs to know how to guide and direct his crew to safe waters and peaceful valleys. God knew he designed man to be able to do all these things. This message in the Bible has been written for one reason. He wanted man to do as he commanded them. Let God's men do their job. Then the world will be under great leadership.
