The Exemplary Husband Quotes

“He now deals with the believer’s sin as the sin of a beloved son, rather than the sin of an enemy.”

“We are also taught from Scripture that while some events in our lives may indeed be tragic, God is in absolute control (Romans 8:28). While this fact may be hard to reconcile in our own minds, God is the one who knows the end from the beginning. Therefore, only He knows how a circumstance can serve to: • Humble a person (Job 42:1-6) • Draw a person to Himself (John 6:44) • Show Himself to be a greater-than-anything God (Jeremiah 32:17; Genesis 50:20) • Reveal Himself to a believing sufferer as Refuge, Strength and Helper (Psalm 46:1; Isaiah 57:15; John 9:1-3).”

“A husband who lords it over his wife does not really care for her as he should, but instead cares most about his own agenda. This kind of husband might also look down on others and have difficulty believing that they are capable (by God’s grace) of doing what they need to do and becoming what they need to become. He may be tempted to see himself as the only one who must make everything happen, instead of giving others a chance and trusting God to work. He also is usually lacking in personal and relational skills and the ability to recognize his own sin and shortcomings.”
