Who’s leading?

In other words, who wears the pants? In a marriage relationship, leadership flows from Christ to husband, then from husband to wife. That thought inspires confidence, eh?

However, you can’t lead if no one is willing to follow you.

So if the woman you love is running the show,
it’s time to …
  • ask how that happened &
  • learn to turn it around.

In the process, you must reconcile your call to leadership with this:

The man was not created because the woman needed him;
the woman was created because the man needed her.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:9

I know it’s not your style to ask for directions.
Nevertheless, let me know if you could use extra
encouragement on this … because I’m here to help.

Sovereignty

In the Beginning, man was given dominion over the earth. And he was given a beautiful bride. A sweet companion to love & adore, to pursue & protect.

He was not given dominion over his bride.
His desire to dominate her was part of the curse, remember?

God’s original intent was for that first couple to become intimate allies in ruling the earth & destroying the works of the evil one.

Let 2019 be the year you recognize the power of your sovereignty.

  1. Learn to put the enemy in check.
  2. Love, adore, pursue, & protect your sweet companion.

“A woman has no problem submitting to a man she truly believes has her best interest at the forefront of everything he does.”
