ENCOURAGING YOUR WIFE TO BE CONTENTED IN THE HOME, NO. 2.
2. Beware of being a control freak.
While I believe God has made the husband to be the head of his family, including his wife, he would be wise to refrain from over-lording and heavy-demanding ways. A husband's headship is best displayed in loving leadership, 1 Corinthians 13:5 says, "Love seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil."
A dominating and over-powering husband who micro-manages his wife so she cannot make any decisions on her own, or even go anywhere without his approval, will drive his wife not only out of the home, but also out of the marriage.
The best husbands are the easy going ones who are not overly anxious about everything. It is their pleasure to see their wife free, contented, and happy.
Overbearing husbands who stifle every initiative their wife brings up will find it difficult to keep them at home, let alone contented at home.
Be encouraged. Colin
