Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

0:00 - Intro
1. 1:27 {Leading When You Don’t Feel Worthy} How do you lead as a husband when you’ve betrayed and dishonored your wife and are not “worthy” of the respect of your wife’s submission?
2. 6:15 {Submitting to Overbearing Leadership} How does submission work with an overbearing husband? Is it ever OK to say, “You’re overstepping your role”?
3. 22:24 {Earning Your Wife’s Trust/Respect} How does a husband win his wife’s trust and respect? Are there any virtues or goals that might be helpful in earning her trust?
4. 28:03 {Spiritual Intimacy in Marriage} What does the Bible say about pursuing spiritual intimacy in a marriage, and how might a husband initiate and a wife respond to that pursuit?
5. 32:03 {Can a Wife Pursue a Career?} Is it God’s ideal design that the wife is a housewife or stay at home mom rather than having a full-time career? What if it isn’t part of God’s will for them to have children?
6. 43:32 {Wife Provides = Husband Neglects?} Does a husband submit to his wife by being a provider? Is a married couple living in sin if their roles are reversed?
7. 43:56 {Submission & Initiative in Harmony} How do submission and taking initiative fit together?
8. 47:35 {Servant Leadership in Marriage} How does servant leadership look in your marriage? And can you elaborate on “according to her gifts”?
9. 51:20 {Meaning of “Weaker Vessel”} What does “weaker vessel” mean?
10. 53:59 {Headship & The Fall} Is Adam ruling over his wife in Genesis 3:16 a godly ruling or a domineering ruling over his wife? What does this mean for husbands and wives today?
11. 57:49 {Finding a Good Counselor} What are the necessary considerations for finding a trustworthy and appropriate marriage counselor(s)?
12. 1:00:12 {When a Wife Refuses to Submit} If a husband wants to exercise headship and his wife struggles with this, what should the husband do?
13. 1:03:31 {Marital Dynamics} We are very much best friends but how can we learn the husband/wife part?
14. 1:06:37 {Following Jesus’ Lead} How does Jesus lead the Church, and what can earthly husbands take away from His example?
15. 1:12:29 {Why the Church Struggles} Why does this topic within the American church hold such a minority position?
16. 1:16:51 {More BibleThinker Content!} Where do we find brother Winger’s talks/videos?
17. 1:17:09 {Comp. vs. Egal. Divorce Rates} Are divorce rates substantially different between Christian complementarian couples and Christian egalitarian couples? Does anyone know the research?
