What are the roles of the husband in a Christian marriage?

The primary roles of the husband are that of love and faithfulness (Gen. 2:24; Mark 10:6-8; 1 Cor. 7:2-4).  Monogamy, not polygamy is our divine template for a divine marriage. Gen 2:24 states “…and they shall become one flesh.” There is something sacred about exclusivity in marriage.  Why?  Because marriage is a covenant between two people, “male and female”, whereby God is the binding force between the two individuals bound by marriage and God.
