1 Corinthians 11:5, 10, 13 (NASB) read, "But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head,… Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of<\/em> authority on her head, because of the angels….Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head<\/em> uncovered?" The Apostle Paul does instruct women to cover their heads when praying or prophesying. Why?<\/p>\n

In Ephesians 5, Paul explains that the relationship between a husband and wife is a picture of the relationship between Jesus and His church. The way a Christian marriage is lived out is a witness to the world and to angels of the way Jesus and His church relate to each other.        Eph. 5:22-24, "Wives, be subject<\/em> to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 <\/strong>For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being<\/em> the Savior of the body. 24 <\/strong>But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be<\/em> to their husbands in everything." When a woman wears a head covering, it is a symbol that she is honoring and respecting her husband's headship. The covering reminds the woman and also the man that they need to fulfill their holy roles.<\/p>\n

What is the man's role in a marriage? He is to love his wife and cherish her just as Jesus loves and cherishes every Christian member of His body. When a man cares and attends to his precious wife's feelings, needs, opinions, and preferences, a wife will naturally desire to please her spouse. It is this mutual love and respect, symbolized by the woman's head covering, that is a beautiful witness to all!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
