Biblical Placement & duties in Marriage- Day 4



Man: The man according to scripture is the head, the leader of the marriage (institution)  just as Christ is the head of the church. Ephesians 5:23
The woman was made from the man, for the man not the other way round.
Genesis 2:18-22. It was noted here in this scripture that God after finished making the woman for the man He brought her to the man and the man named her to him self once he discovered that she looked like him.

How do I know this? Take a look at Genesis 2:18 , and you will discover man’s loneliness was what motivated  God’s thought , which in turn led to the making of the woman. One principle I want you to stick to here is this; The motivational factor behind a thought defines or determines the purpose of the end product of that thought. In this case the woman was made for the man!

One responsibility of the man is to make sure the instructions of God are communicated and carried out properly in the  home . Genesis 2:16-17 clearly shown the fact that the man was the one the instruction was given to  and was not repeated by God to  both of them after presenting the woman to the man because He trusted the man’s ability to communicate effectively the issue to the woman. One point we must not forget here is that of the fact that man is likely to be held responsible for the break down of God’s precept in the home. That is why they must take their place and be responsible. Chapter 3:9-11 proves this fact.

God never went straight to the woman to confront her since she was the one that gave the fruit to the man. God believes and respects authority and He expect that when He gives you a job you carry it out. And that is why He confronted the man first instead of the woman.
