Building Unity: A Guide to Submission and Respect in Marriage


Listen Later

What does it actually mean for a wife to submit to her husband? In this episode of their Summer Shorts series, Rusty and Heather take on one of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in Christian marriage, based on a fantastic listener question. Using Ephesians 5 as a guide, they break down the concept of biblical submission, moving beyond the idea of a simple command or hierarchy.

Discover why the context of these verses, including the call for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and the principle of mutual submission to one another, is absolutely essential. This isn't about blind obedience or being a doormat; it's about building a strong, unified team. Rusty shares a husband's responsibility to lead in a way that is worthy of respect, while Heather provides a wife's perspective on what it feels like to be led well. They offer practical examples from their own marriage on how they've learned to navigate this dynamic with love and respect.

If you've ever struggled with this passage of scripture or wondered how to apply it to your modern relationship, this conversation will bring clarity, encouragement, and a new perspective on leadership and respect in marriage.
