Quote by Ray Ortlund Jr.
“To be married to a selfish man who, in effect, creates one more child in the house—for any wife, that is hard to bear. But a Christlike husband makes her burden lighter. He enjoys serving her as her lover and her provider and her defender, like Christ with his church. But even more deeply, beneath the Christlike behavior, biblical headship flows out of the mind of Christ. Our Savior’s own mentality becomes visible in a Christian husband cheerfully taking responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect his wife.”
