Redefining LovePrøve

## Love Is Following Devotional Content: If a husband is the leader in a marriage, who is the follower? You may not like the answer, but it is pretty obvious—it is the wife. And before you start accusing me of crossing a line, give me a chance to explain. If this wife-as- follower idea was just something I dreamed up, you could probably argue me out of it. The problem is that I did not dream it up. It is part of God’s perfect plan for marriage. How did our world get to the point where it is so hard for wives to follow their husbands? I believe that it is because husbands have not done a very good job of leading. God’s plan works something like this: As a husband, if I seek God’s wisdom in courageously leading my family, and if I listen to my wife and value her opinions and input, and if I lead as a servant, then I think it is pretty easy for my wife to follow. Today’s Challenge: A husband’s ability and willingness to lead determines his wife’s ability and willingness to follow. Husbands, seek God’s wisdom in courageously leading your family.
