Hard truth: When a man crowns his wife “CEO of the family” to earn feminist brownie points, he’s not being virtuous, he’s abdicating his God-given role.
He trades biblical headship for cultural appeasement.

And he puts his family at risk.

Men are meant to lead.
Not as tyrants, but servants, stewards and champion protectors.

To Protect implies defense, discipline and vigilance – in the face of a very deceptive and broken world.

To Provide implies choice of the provision and requires discernment and isn’t just about money and food. It includes provision and oversight on all the family can consume.

To sacrifice – Lay it all down, includes pride, reputation, ego, finance, and physical self in order to do what is right, good and true under God.

Sometimes that means being unpopular.
Sometimes that means not keeping up with the Jones’ or having,doing or being the Jones.

Sometimes that means your wife won’t understand.

But God does. And that’s who you answer to.

Leading a biblical marriage requires upholding the structure the way God intended – it’s not popular, even in the church crowd – and this is why many marriages suffer as a result. They try to contort husbands into biblical simps – and the entire family suffers for it, especially the husband, as not only are these unnatural contortions immediately painful, their fruits are even worse.

We are Built different for a reason. Pray, protect, sacrifice and advocate for a biblical marriage requires upholding- which includes submission to your authority. This does not mean dictatorship. This means you seek counsel from your wife to hear the needs of your family and navigate a broken world together. Your wife will likely have wisdom in social aspects you lack. But you must preserve your authority in order to have the ability to protect, provide and sacrifice.
