Main Scriptures: Proverbs 6:25-26
More Scriptures: Nu.5:20, Ps.51:10, Heb.12:16
As the husband and the head of your family, you don’t settle for less either in the way you relate with your wife and children or in the quality of leadership you provide for them. God has invested so much in your making the head of the family. You cannot afford to be less than God’s original plan for your life. God made you in His image and likeness (Gen.1:26-28). And He is excellent. There are so many alternatives that want to make you settle for less. Take for instance, if you resolve to start an extra marital affair with another woman because of the problems you are having with your wife is to settle for less. Extra marital relationship has not and will never be the best for you as the spiritual head of the home. It may be true that you are having challenges with your wife at home. But that is not a guarantee for you to desire the lap of another woman. If you do, you have reduced your life to a nonentity.
Now look at what the Scriptures say in Pro.6:25-26. It says, lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread, and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Note the phrase “a piece of bread” (Pro.6:25-26). As the spiritual leader of your home, you must be very careful how you live your life.
But how do I live a better and dignified life that will please, God, my wife, children and the humanity? First, you must take practical steps to find out what God wants you to do. You must understand that the days of ignorance are over. This is because of the numerous options available- the Bible in different formats, CDs, DVDs, anointed books and much more. Invest your resources in life transforming materials that will enhance your position as the good and godly husband God has ordained you to be for the good of your wife and children. Secondly, you must believe God for the best for your wife and children. A lot of the times, our thoughts conflict with our words. You cannot be thinking of the worst for your sheep and expect to see the best in their lives. This is the more reason why Ps.51:10 remains your greatest prayer point as a husband. It says create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me (Ps.51:10). You must have the right spirit towards your wife and children if you want to settle for the best for them.
