Why Do Christian Marriages Fail? (What We Twisted From Genesis)

Why do so many Christian marriages fail if God's design is supposed to work? The answer might surprise you: it's not that God's plan is broken—it's that we've twisted it. In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 5:24-25 and Genesis 2 (KJV) to show what marriage looked like in Eden before sin corrupted it—and what happens when either spouse twists their God-given role today. Many believers struggle with marriage roles because they've seen abuse disguised as "biblical headship" or because culture tells them God's design is oppressive. But here's the truth: God's plan is not to make men look high and mighty or to bring women down. It's to create a happy, functioning family. You might be asking: Why do Christian marriages fail at the same rate as non-Christian marriages? What does "weaker vessel" mean—and is it sexist? What was marriage like before sin entered the world? How can I tell if a man will abuse headship before I marry him? If husbands are called to love like Christ, why do so many fail at this? In this devotion you'll learn: What Adam saw when he first met Eve—and why their marriage was perfect (Genesis 2:23-25) The two-part design: Headship + Duty (if a husband takes headship but rejects the duty to love, he becomes abusive) Why God gave husbands headship—and the serious responsibility that comes with it (1 Peter 3:7) How to check if someone respects authority BEFORE you marry them (parents, employer, church leadership) What went wrong from Eden to now—and why we're in this mess today Pastor Webster doesn't sugarcoat the issue. He explains that when husbands claim headship without loving sacrificially like Christ, marriages fall apart. And when wives refuse submission while husbands are fulfilling their duty, marriages also suffer. Both roles matter. Both must be honored. Next time: Pastor Webster will unpack how we got from Eden's perfection to today's confusion—and what we can do to restore God's design in our marriages.
