The Bible says that the wife should submit to her husband’s leadership. It’s, therefore, crucial that your husband is wise to lead your family correctly. If you have a husband who is not wise, pray for his wisdom (James 1:5). Even if your husband is wise, you should pray for him to continue making the right choices. (1 Corinthian 10:12)
