Authority in the Household
When a young man and a young lady think of getting married, it's good for them to remember that the head of every woman is the man. Adam was created first, then Eve. God, speaking to Eve, said, "Thy desire shall be to thy husband," and she was subject to her husband. There's authority in the marriage; it is still God's way. The world has sought to throw that authority overboard, and is a catastrophe in every home where it's not practiced.
Young man, if you are going to get married, take your place as head of the home. Young lady, if you're going to get married, submit to your husband.
“Children obey your parents in the Lord." When children are born into a home, they likewise are under authority. They are under the authority of their parents and come under their discipline and training. I know of nothing better in this world than to be brought up in a faithful, Christian home. The home and the assembly are two sanctuaries that God has put here to help His people through a wicked world.
