What Is the Truth Behind Biblical Gender Roles?

When I married my husband 30 years ago, I had recently rededicated my life to the Lord at a Harvest Crusade. I committed to God to live the rest of my life as a biblical Christian, wife, and mother. My daughter was not a Christian at the time and was appalled that her once independent successful businesswoman mom was now in her words, “Going to be a doormat.” She was skeptical of Dave, who actually is a gentle, kind, godly man, but she feared he was going to dominate me.It wasn’t until she became a Christian several years later when she and her fiancé accepted Christ in a biblical marriage class that she had an awakening regarding the truth behind biblical gender roles.Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/champja

5 Habitual Sins Men Especially Struggle With

In today’s culture, being a man is difficult. Culture praises certain men for their accomplishments in education, technology, politics, and the list goes on.

It’s likely that before you (or any man) married, you heard the phrase “happy wife is a happy life.”We’re taught in Genesis 2:24 that when a man leaves his parents to marry a wife, they then become one flesh. Thus, since the two souls are joined, what makes one happy will make the union happy.However, as much as we try as husbands, we find ourselves shaking our heads wondering where we went wrong from time to time. The proverbial “doghouse” can be anything from the “silent treatment” to the more extreme “couch” treatment.Even Solomon in Proverbs 30:18-19, wrote about his confusion and amazement.
