Si alguno no provee para los que son suyos, y especialmente para los que son miembros de su casa, ha repudiado la fe y es peor que una persona sin fe (1 Tim. 5:8).
Para que Dios forme parte de un matrimonio, este debe esforzarse por obedecer las normas divinas. El esposo es el principal responsable de satisfacer las necesidades físicas y espirituales de su casa. Además, debe tener en cuenta las necesidades emocionales de su esposa. En Colosenses 3:19 leemos: “Esposos, sigan amando a sus esposas y no se encolericen amargamente con ellas”. Un comentarista bíblico explica que en este pasaje la expresión “encolerizarse amargamente” significa “golpear a la esposa, hablarle con rudeza o negarle el apoyo, el afecto, el cuidado, la protección y el sustento”. Esa clase de comportamiento es totalmente inaceptable en un hogar cristiano. En cambio, cuando el esposo ejerce su autoridad de forma bondadosa, a su esposa se le hace más fácil seguir su dirección.

If anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.—1 Tim. 5:8.
An indication of whether God is in a marriage is the effort both husband and wife put forth to measure up to His requirements. Husbands have the primary obligation to provide for the material and spiritual needs of the household. They are also encouraged to be considerate of their wife’s emotional needs. At Colossians 3:19, we read: “You husbands, keep on loving your wives and do not be bitterly angry with them.” One Bible scholar explained that the expression “bitterly angry” involves “giving them either bitter words, or blows, and denying them their affection, care, provision, protection, and assistance.” Clearly, such behavior would be inappropriate in a Christian household. A husband who exercises his headship in a loving way stimulates a readiness in his wife to be in subjection
