TIT 2:4⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Titus 2:4) EPH 5:22²²Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22)

Young women . . . love their husbands.

Titus 2:4⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Titus 2:4)

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands.

Ephesians 5:22²²Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22)

The second most important family responsibility for a “normal,” healthy family is that the wife love her husband, and that she not grovel at his feet with abject dread, but that she respect the position that God has placed her husband in as head of the household. When a mother is the dominant player in family affairs, this is abnormal by God’s standards and you can’t expect to have God’s full blessing in your family. Respect your husband’s position and completely support him in it.
