I’m assuming this statement is from the perspective of a minister, but the answer is the same. While a man’s wife should be very high on his list of priorities, the Lord should be his focus. Bringing others to know Christ is the ministry. Loving your wife as the Bible directs is not a ministry, in my opinion, but a covenant that was entered into by two people not just one.
The Bible directs that a man shall leave his mother and cleave unto his wife. Ephesians spells it out pretty clearly. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. It goes on to say that husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself and the wife must respect her husband.
Nowhere do I find that a husband’s priority is to minister to his wife. He is to be the head of the household and the spiritual leader, but bringing people to know Jesus is the ministry…
