Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word; That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; But that it should be holy and without blemish.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:25-33
Bible verses about husbands role
- Titus 2:3-5
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

What does the bible say about husband duties
The Bible says that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Husbands are commanded to love their wives as they love themselves (Ephesians 5:28). A husband’s love for his wife should be unconditional and sacrificial.
Husbands should be willing to give up something they want if it will please their wives. Husbands must respect their wives, even when they disagree with them or feel frustrated by them. Husbands must keep their word and not violate any promises made to their wives.
Husghands must not treat their wives in ways that are sinful or abusive (Proverbs 31:10-31). Husbands should always be faithful and loyal to their wives (Ecclesiastes 9:9-10; Hebrews 11:13). A husband should not be physically violent toward his wife (1 Corinthians 7:1-5; Ephesians 5:22-33).
The Bible says a lot about husbands and their duties, but the most important thing it says is that a husband should love his wife as Christ loved the Church. The apostle Paul tells husbands they are to love their wives and not treat them harshly or with contempt.
A husband should also be a good provider for his family. He should provide food and clothing for his wife and children (1 Timothy 5:8). He should protect them from harm (Genesis 2:18). This means that he needs to provide for their physical needs and protect them from evil people who might want to harm them physically or spiritually.
A husband is not just responsible for providing material goods; he also needs to give his wife emotional support when she needs it. He should be there for her during difficult times (Proverbs 31:28).
