Feminism & Toxic Masculinity Have No Place in a Christ-Centered Marriage
Marriage was never designed to be a battle for power between a husband and wife.
When feminism becomes “I don’t need a man, and no man will tell me what to do,” it works against oneness.
When masculinity becomes “I’m the man, so what I say goes,” it works against sacrificial love.
Neither reflects the heart of Christ.
A Christ-centered marriage isn’t about her fighting for control or him demanding control. It’s about two people surrendering themselves to Christ and learning to love, honor, serve, and sacrifice for one another.
A wife is not inferior to her husband.
A husband is not his wife’s dictator.
They are partners in covenant, becoming one and putting Christ at the center.
The world may make marriage about power.
Christ makes marriage about covenant, love, sacrifice, and oneness.
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” — Ephesians 5:21
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” — Ephesians 5:25
When Christ is at the center, there is no room for a battle of the sexes. There is only room for two becoming one.
