The King Husband

King husbands bring decisiveness, direction, and protective strength to marriage. They're natural leaders who take initiative, make things happen, and provide security. Their wives often feel safe and cared for because Kings step up and handle what needs handling. But the same drive that makes Kings effective can also steamroll, control, and dominate if not tempered with gentleness.

Marriage isn't a company. Your wife isn't an employee. Leading here requires a different approach.

King Husband Strengths

• Protective: Creates security and safety
• Decisive: Doesn't leave her carrying all decisions alone
• Initiating: Takes action rather than waiting
• Provider: Takes responsibility for the family seriously
• Confident: Brings stability through self-assurance

Your wife doesn't need you to fix her, manage her, or direct her. She needs you to love her, listen to her, and lead with her. The best King husbands learn to be strong and tender at the same time.

Controlling: Making decisions without her input.
