Getting A Head
So… is the husband really the “head of the household”? Funny thing—Scripture never actually says that.
In this episode, we take a closer look at what Paul means when he calls the husband the “head” of the wife in Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11. Does “head” mean boss, final decision-maker, or spiritual authority? Or have we added a little more to the metaphor than Paul did?
We follow Paul’s own explanation back to Christ: sacrificial love, giving Himself up for His bride, and a marriage shaped by mutual submission—not a chain of command.
Turns out, marriage may be less about who gets the final say and more about both people following Jesus.
