South Africa’s highest court has ruled that husbands may now legally take their wives’ surnames—a decision hailed as a win for feminism and framed as undoing “colonial” and “Christian” influence. But what does Scripture say about headship, submission, and God’s design for marriage? Does a surname really carry spiritual and cultural significance, or is it just a modern tradition? In this episode, we unpack the biblical vision for marriage roles, examine how feminism reshapes culture and law, and explore why God’s design for husbands and wives matters far more than shifting societal norms.
