Summary
I am discussing the qualifications for being a good husband from a biblical perspective, emphasizing maturity, self-control, and gentleness as essential qualities. Jesus addressed the Pharisees and his disciples, stating that divorce should only be considered in cases of adultery, challenging the lax divorce practices of the time. I further pointed out that not everyone is suited for marriage, underscoring the need for maturity. This idea is expanded upon with reference to Paul’s advice to Timothy, where leadership qualities are paralleled with those needed to be a great husband, notably gentleness and emotional control. I highlight that being rough and unable to manage one’s emotions disqualifies a man from being a good husband, irrespective of their religious practices. The core message is that becoming a great husband requires intentional effort and a deep understanding of what the Bible says about marriage, beyond merely attending church.
