TEXT    Ephesians 5
Last week we saw, that because of sin, Conflict has ravaged the human landscape.  It is the main cause why a lot of marriages go belly up.  And now for relationships to even have a chance… men and women must have roles.
Unfortunately, both genders… are naturally disposed to hate their assignments… Two of the most common complaints I hear women say are, 1) “My husband won’t take the lead spiritually in the marriage.  You know, he’s a leader at work… but when it comes to the home and the marriage… he doesn’t do anything.”  And, 2) “My husband misuses his leadership.  He orders us around and he just keeps us under his thumb.”
On the other hand, the ONE complaint I hear about the wives is this, “My wife is nagging.  She’s on my back, she’s not on my side.  At every turn… she uses every means to manipulate and control… She ruins me publicly with her words.  My wife is a constant and unrelenting source of discouragement.”  » Read The Rest
