I chose the word men rather than husbands for a reason. If you believe that God has a helpmate for you, then you are sort of a family just waiting for members. Are the things you are doing as a single man conducive to being a husband? Will you leave a trail behind you of things that will need to be undone once she joins you? Ah - how loud the voice of experience can be!
And what about leading? This is not a picture of an emperor or a tyrant. Leading in this case means to be the first to submit. The first to set aside. The first to lay down. That is how you lead. The Bible is clear that the picture of a man in marriage is that of Christ and His church and we all know what He did for us. Making Himself least even unto death modeled the perfect leader.
Seeking to be made into the likeness of Him will allow you to do the same.
