This article is written for Christian marriages. I believe that husbands are instructed to love their wives and wives are instructed to submit to that love. God established marriage and God designed marriage and marriage was created for God's purpose. We ought to manage our marriage His way, don't you think?

A Christian Marriage Must Have God at the Forefront!

If you want to have a happy marriage then don't treat your marriage like everyone else does. Love in society is not the same kind of love that Jesus taught! If a husband doesn't love his wife properly, in the ways taught by Christ, she in turn will not love (submit to) her husband.

Society's view of love has turned marriage upside down. This is the basis for most, if not all, marriage problems. A Christian marriage must be managed with God at the forefront! We must go back to the teachings of Christ on what love is and then base our marriage on that kind of love.

He is a man that is filled with the Spirit of Christ. This kind of man has made his wife the queen in his home because he is overflowing with Christ's love and blessings.

When a man loves his wife, in the ways taught by Christ she will not have a problem submitting to his headship position. Do you see how that works? The bible instructs wives to be subject
