    Kirk Cameron, the former child television star, during the interview with the Christian Post, that the Bible’s guidelines for marriage instruct wives to honor and follow their husband lead.

    “Wives are to honor and respect and follow their husband’s lead, not to tell their husband how he ought to be a better husband,” he says. “When each person gets their part right, regardless of how their spouse is treating them, there is hope for real change in their marriage.”

    The 45-year-old actor who is participating in the “Love Worth Fighting For” travels to churches across the United States and teach married couple about the importance of having God-centered and about the effort of fighting to keep the marriage alive.

    “A lot of people don’t know that marriage comes with instructions. And, we find them right there in God’s word.”

    The former Growing Pains star around 80’s stated that husband’s are to “love their wives and not to tell their wives that they need to submit to them.”

    Cameron referring to the words from Colossians 3:18-19 (“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”)

    His view same with his sister, actress Candace Cameron Bure wrote in her 2014 book Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose, about her submissive role in her marriage to former National Hockey League player Valeri Bure.

    “So, it is meekness, it is not weakness. It is strength under control, it is bridled strength. And that’s what I choose to have in my marriage.”

    The husband of actress Chelsea Noble, 51, since 1991 is also contend that husband should avoid getting into heated arguments, especially in front of their children.

    “Thinking that you are going to win an argument, you end up losing. It’s a no-win situation,” Cameron stated. “In order for you to win, your husband or wife has to lose. When they lose, you have not built up your marriage. You have really cut them down. When couples start arguing and fighting in front of the kids, dad cuts mom and mom cuts dad and the kids bleed. They see that and it damages them. When the kids get to marriage, they will follow patterns that they see.”

    “When couples start arguing and fighting in front of the kids, dad cuts mom and mom cuts dad and the kids bleed,” the father-of-six explains. “They see that and it damages them. When the kids get to marriage, they will follow patterns that they see.”

    Father of six children continued; “What most people do is they try to blame their spouse and say, ‘Hey, I would be a great husband if it weren’t for my wife.’ ‘We would have a great marriage if it wasn’t for my husband,'” Cameron explained. “This talks to the importance of getting your own part right. There is only one person on the whole planet who you can change and it’s not your spouse.”

    “We talk about faith in God. We talk about the heart of the problem in marriage. We talk about what it means to love your wife in a practical way and what it means to honor your husband,” Cameron said. “It is possible to fireproof your marriage. Fireproof doesn’t mean that the fire will never come, it means when the fire comes and the heat is high, you will be able to withstand it.”
