There is a battle being waged against the Biblical mandate given to husbands and wives. People are bombarded daily by conflicting ideologies, all striving to redefine marriage and family. In his four-part series, God’s Mandate for Christian Husbands and Wives, Michael Youssef directs men and women to the Word of God to uncover God’s design for husbands and wives.

In this powerful opening episode of God’s Mandate for Christian Husbands and Wives, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims God’s unchanging design for marriage amid today’s cultural confusion. Drawing from Genesis and Ephesians, Dr. Youssef issues a solemn call for husbands to reclaim their God-ordained role as spiritual leaders of the home—modeling Christ’s sacrificial love for His Church. He exposes the devastation that results when men abdicate this divine responsibility, tracing the roots of marital disorder back to Adam’s failure in the Garden. With urgency and clarity, Dr. Youssef exhorts men to lead not through domination, but through godly character, obedience, and love—lest their prayers be hindered and their households fall into chaos. This message is a call to repentance, restoration, and Biblical alignment in every Christian home.
