The role change in marriage can lead to divorce! What do I
mean by role change? When women start making more money than the men or the man
start making less money then he did when they first got married. The roles in
marriage change. Well at least they seem to change but in reality they do not
according to the Word of God. In this case the woman has to transition her
corporate mentality into a virtuous woman mentality. That is what the Proverbs
31: woman is all about! If you read Proverbs 31 you will be surprised how this
great woman of God was able to support her family (the Holy Bible does not
mention at all the mans income or if he had one at all) and be able to take
care of the home simultaneously.
However, in our society today in many cases some women feel that they do not
need a man because they can provide for themselves. The woman has become the breadwinner
and the head of the household instantly without the man in the home. In some
cases if the man is in the home, she has still become the head of the household
with her corporate mentality. There is nothing wrong with the woman being the
bread winner (we see that in Proverbs 31 considering the man shows no income in
scripture) however, the man still has his responsibility as a man to till the
land or be the patriarchy of the home. He has to be obedient to the scripture
to love his wife as Christ loves the Church, Eph. 25 and I Tim. 5:8, (God
commanded his people especially the man of the house to provide for his
household!)
Therefore, if the income changes in the home and the wife starts to make more
money than the man, women do not hold it over their heads. This is what God has
ordained for you to do to be the helpmeet in your marriage, which is glorious
in the site of God. In addition, men do not feel inferior to your wife because
she is the breadwinner but respect and honor her as your wife and the love of
your life. If you want examples for this scenario then look in Proverbs 31, you
will find it there.
