Description:

There has been a dramatic shift in the family dynamic over the last 50 to 60 years. Back then, men typically went to work to earn money, while women managed the house and cared for the kids. In this program, Chip Ingram raises a few vital questions: how does this traditional structure compare to the realities of how families function now? And what does the Bible have to say about the roles men and women play in their households? Join us for those profound answers!

Introduction:

“Relationships just don’t work well when the man neglects to take the lead when he should, neglects to make decisions at home, and fails to be proactive in his involvement with his family.” -“Passive Men, Wild Women” by Pierre Mornell

Fighting lies with truth

Lie #12 (for men):

  • Husbands are to earn the money and wives are to take care of the kids and the house.

The truth:

  • As a husband, I am the SERVANT LEADER in our home. I am responsible to provide for and protect my family’s physical, spiritual, and emotional needs, as I MODEL Jesus every day.

Key verse:

  • Ephesians 5:1-2

Lie #13 (for women):

  • My husband is almost like another child I have to take care of. If I didn’t handle our finances, the house, our children, and major decisions, this place would fall apart tomorrow.

The truth:

  • When I take care of everything myself, I’m actually usurping my husband’s GOD-GIVEN role. Until I STOP taking care of everything, my husband will never step up and lead.

Key verse:

  • Proverbs 3:5-6

Breaking the cycle

  • Women: Refuse to do things that are your spouse’s job
  • Men: Step up and own the responsibility
