My wife and I complement each other, each one helping
where help is needed and working together for the good of each other and the
whole family. For the sake of organization, we have mutually agreed that I
should take the leadership of our home. This does not mean that my wife is
subservient or that she does not have a leadership role. It just means that for
any organization to function, there must be order, and that we each have
different roles that enable us to best work together.
In today's society, it seems as though there is a lack of
organization, communication, direction, and agreement in the home between
husband and wife. This often leads to frustration and a lack of clarity and
cohesion for entire families. The world
serves up many influences that can divide families, making it tremendously
important for husband and wife to stand united with each other and with their
children to take care of one another and support one another. In our family, it
is our Christian faith that provides the solid foundation for our unity.
As a leader, I believe my role is to provide a vision for
our family, and to support and serve my family. I am also charged with
mentoring my children and with loving
each and every one in my family unconditionally. It is not always easy, and it can be
downright inconvenient and frustrating at times, but I believe it is all worth
it.
Whether you have a single parent household or a two
parent household, your leadership is desperately needed. The effect of your
leadership will be felt in your neighborhood, your city, and beyond, possibly
for years to come. The question is, will it have a positive or a negative
effect?
I don't know about you, but I think household leadership
is one of the most important forms of leadership in our society today, and it
is being tested like never before. Are
you up to the test?
A house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25).
