The Responsibility of Husbands

Dr. Rocky Ramsey unpacks 1 Peter 3:7, calling husbands to embrace their God-given roles. A husband’s responsibility to his wife is not only foundational to a thriving marriage but also a reflection of his relationship with God.

Dr. Rocky Ramsey outlines five key responsibilities every husband must fulfill:

  • Serve her with love and selflessness.

  • Understand her by taking the time to truly know her thoughts, feelings, and needs.

  • Protect her physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

  • Honor her by showing respect and appreciation.

  • Consult her in decisions, valuing her input and wisdom.

This sermon emphasizes that a husband’s responsibility to his wife is ultimately his responsibility to God. To be right with God, we must strive to be right with others — starting with our closest relationship. Watch this message to learn how embracing these principles can transform your marriage and deepen your faith.

You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
— 1 Peter 3:7
