Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Every covenant-including the new covenant of salvation-has a head, who is ultimately responsible for the covenant. The husband is the covenant head of a marriage; he is responsible for his marriage, his wife, and his kids. Similarly, Christ took that which was not his fault-our sin-and he made it his responsibility on the cross. He is our covenant head.
