Who Is The Head Of A Christian Home? Christ Or The Husband?

There cannot be two heads of a Christian home, for a man cannot serve two masters. Matthew 6:24

Therefore It has to be one or the other, so which is it?

I have heard some say or seen a written message in some homes, "Christ is the head of this house." On the other hand, i have also heard some claim that the husband is the head of the home or marriage, therefore I would like to know which is really true, since both cannot be right at the same time.

If Christ is the head of the home, then both the husband and wife ought to submit themselves to the authority of Christ. But if it's the husband instead, then the woman has to submit herself to the authority of the husband.

My own belief is that Christ ought to be the head of every Christian home, so both the husband and wife ought to submit themselves to His own authority.

Anything contrary to that is not of God, but of men or the devil, hence it would only lead to dangerous repercussions in the home, as it was in the beginning when the husband and wife both rejected the authority of Christ, even the Word of God that was in the beginning, and chose to listen and heed the voice of someone else.

Although the marriage didn't end up in a divorce as a result, and they wear yet able to bear children, it became a total failure as the purpose for which God made the marriage, which was to multiply sinless children (those born in obedience), was not achieved.

It also led to hostility in the marriage, because the same man who loved his wife and called her "the bone of my bones" and "flesh of my flesh", now saw her as an enemy or a stranger called "the woman you gave me". Genesis 2:23; 3:12

So the authority and head of a Christian home, as God made it to be in the beginning, ought to be the Word of God which Christ is, and that's one of things which was in the beginning that Christ came to restore. Therefore taking that authority from Him and giving it to someone else, including the husband, would only prevent the purpose of God concerning the marriage from being fulfilled, and could also lead to hostility among the married couples.

That's what would have happened in the marriage of Smith Wigglesworth, as the husband thought he was the head of their home, and had authority over his wife, hence tried to use it against her and to prevent her from serving God as she ought to, when he derailed from the faith.

But thank God he had a wife who knew that he was just her husband, not her Head or Head of their marriage, but Jesus, as she'd let Him know. So he couldn't make her do things contrary to what Christ demands of her, because she was meant to be under Christ's authority, not his.

This eventually led to her husband's restoration to the faith, and for this reason he loved appreciated his wife much more than he'd ever done beforehand, because what he learnt from the wife in the process was an invaluable lesson, which had not only helped to restore him, but also made him to be a better vessel for God's use, and better husband for his wife and marriage.


That's what many Christian' marriage stands to lose whenever someone else is put in the placed of Christ as the Head of a Christian home. It ends up more or less as the marriage in the beginning, when God's purpose for the marriage was not achieved.

And once that purpose is not achieved, the marriage become a total failure even if it doesn't end in divorce and they're yet having children as Adam and Eve, because God purpose for a Christian marriage that determines the success of a marriage, not that of man.

So it's up to choose who will be the head of your home, but if it's not Christ, do not expect Him to also act as the Head, because He cannot share His position or authority in any marriage or home with anyone. It's either Him in charge or not Him.

God bless.
Stop using nonsense examples. I have read this crap I put in red many times. If you allow me take you to the history of Wigglesworth, you will not like me. This same way, you started forming a miracle man that time. The miracle you haven't achieved.

Wigglesworth was nothing from the beginning. His wife taught him how to read and write. Get that into your head. The woman was able to resist him at any point cos she had "mouth" in the marriage. It is not only as a result of her faith. She made the man. Forget about the miracles of Wigglesworth. Also, you need to know the back bone of his ministry. When that man died, Wigglesworth went down also. So, this shows some people play behind the scene roles many dont see. All the athletes and sportsmen you see are made behind the scene. The day the man who discovered Iron Mike Tyson died was the beginning of the end of his career. And he never recovered from it.


Now listen, you have been answered by the people above. Whoever pays the bill is the head of the house. If the man is sensible, he will not sell his right like how Esau sold his own. All the men fighting the feminists are not reasonable. I was shocked when David Oyedepo mentioned it cos I respected him more than that. Maybe the issue is causing wahala around him. But real men dont even care.

If you marry a woman who is more influential, and you know you have no capacity to develop yourself, you are on your own. She will knock your head. So, trying to cage women, or using what we know to cage them will not work. We know God is the head of everyone...but the Bible says the man is the head. So, dont bring a useless teaching up. If the man relinquishes his right by not doing what is right, that is his wahala. You see a bully in a woman when dating, and you dont show her you are more bully so she can relax, but you expect to be the man. She will knock your head very well. You better leave such bully and let a man who can handle her take her. You see a woman with loaded cash and you know you dont have the capability to make more than her, and you want her to respect you like a dummy, such man is a f.ool. Learn from Kanye West. Despite the empire of the Kadashian, and despite his mental challenges, that is a man. A man Kim ran after even while in divorce. She felt Kanye will be running after her or will break down cos of the divorce threat. Not knowing baba will start "balling". Sharply, baba go carry Ronaldo's ex babe. The thing pepper Kim.

I am a Christian, but I am realistic and I am a "baller". I dont go near who I know is tough for me to handle. And I know many Naija men who will just "chop" and quit cos they know they cannot cope. Some dont want to just chop, but when the signals are there, they bail themselves out. When you are dating an American or British and even before marriage, she is already threatening you with police and FBI, and you still decide to put her in your house, or you married and stayed in her house.....the man is a fo.ol. I do not pity such men. I remember the Oyefeso naija man who dated one of the Braxons. Lol. Sharp man wanted to use her to be a celebrity too, but he is stu.pid. He saw the kind of lady she is and he went ahead. Look at the rubbish he went through. An Ivy League graduate for that matter who still relies on the fame of a girl. Fo.olish man. I lost respect for the man.


So, teach people well. We know Christ is the head of the church....but Bible says the man is the head of the home. Dont ever twist it. The Bible says Eve is a helper....yes, equal but she helped Adam. Two pilots cannot fly a plan. One must be the boss of the other. So, the man also must subject himself to Christ.

This is a feminism era cos men have sold their rights. And it is normal. Stop teaching rubbish sir.

Goodluck!

Op. Look like you don't really understand scripture, Christ ain't in the category of men to drag headship of a home wit u.
Marriage is stressful on it own so as a man u can choose to submit to God to assist you or u rule yourself and continue in misery ( dt wen u hear pple say marriage is blah blah).
The biblical hierarchy of marriage is Wife submit to the husband and husband submit to Christ. Meaning the head of the woman is the man while the head of the man is Christ.(Read Ephesian 5 vs 22- end)
Phephads the husband is unbeliever the Bible still want d wife to submit to dere husband so dt 2ru dere submittion she can win him to Christ (1 Peter 3 vs 1-2). (That is why is super important u don't marry wrongly)
I hope I answered your questions and please study the Bible more to understand better d subject.

"My own belief is that Christ ought to be the head of every Christian home, so both the husband and wife ought to submit themselves to His own authority".


Let us make one thing clear, when it comes to divine instruction of scriptures, what you believe does not hold if it does not align with the Bible.
Look at this
Eph.5.23 - For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

A man is to present his family to God;
1Cor.11.3 - But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

What is the implication of this?
A man who does not take the responsibility of leadership in his home can not present anything to God and God can not automatically take the leadership responsibility of a home where the man is irresponsible.
It's going against divine order set by God himself.

It's therefore safe to say, a man is the head of his home and he is answerable to God.

Peace to you!
