Not necessarily. Either can disobey the Lord on their roles. There is no guarantee.
The point is that when one starts on their role, it is hoped the other will pick up on their role. Sometimes counseling can help, sometimes not. It depends also on whether the other is willing to listen and make an effort also.
Either the man or the woman can initiate to get their relationship out of the crazy cycle by going to the Lord to do their own role in the relationship. Doing so enhances their chances to get out of the crazy cycle but it does not guarantee it.
I don’t disagree that sin is going to cause failure in the process. But, if a man is wondering why a woman is not respecting him, what is he doing to show her he loves her like Christ loves the Church?
The command is to men first, and in their role as head of household they must lead.
How many men do you know that openly love their wives as Christ loved the church?
I can name them on my fingers. My dad did a wonderful job. My brothers do not impress me; one brother in particular was horrible to his wife, picking on her about the littlest things.
There have been a few pastors of churches I attended that are wonderful examples.
There are two men I work with here that I have no doubt treat there wives this way even though I have never met their families. Why do I know this - because of the way they behave at work.
