Leadership in Marriage: Serving Your Spouse Like Christ

📖 Introduction

Leadership in marriage is not about authority or control but about a Christlike model of love and service. Jesus exemplifies the highest form of leadership, centered on sacrificial love, humility, and selflessness. In this 7-day study, we'll reflect on how husbands and wives can emulate Jesus by leading with a heart to serve, putting the needs of their spouse first, and nurturing a marriage built on love and mutual respect.

Marriage leadership calls each partner to practice patience, forgiveness, and sacrificial care. It means listening earnestly, giving generously, and laying down personal rights for the good of the relationship. When both spouses lead in this way, marriage becomes a powerful testimony of God’s love and grace.

Throughout this study, you will explore Scripture passages that illustrate servant leadership and sacrificial love. You will be encouraged to reflect deeply on what it means to love your spouse like Christ loves the Church—giving without expecting in return and leading by example with humility.

Whether you are newly married or have journeyed years together, this study invites you to grow in your role as a spiritual leader in your home. By centering love and sacrifice, your marriage can flourish, radiating God’s heart to your family and community. Let’s seek God’s wisdom together as we learn to serve, love, and lead as Christ did. ❤️🙏
