Submission, Control, and Manipulation in Marriage [PART 1]


Listen Later

Most Christian marriages aren’t stuck because of communication issues, intimacy struggles, or personality differences.
They’re stuck because of disorder — rebellion against God’s design for marriage, leadership, submission, and covenant.

In this episode, we confront the uncomfortable reality:
You can’t pray for restoration while resisting the order God established for it.

➔ If you’re still clinging to control, you’re fighting God.
➔ If you’re manipulating outcomes, you’re delaying healing.
➔ If you refuse submission to God’s design, you’re forfeiting the very breakthrough you’re asking for.

We walk through how control and manipulation take root in marriages,
how submission has been distorted by culture and religion,
and why true biblical order is the key to deliverance, restoration, and generational blessing.

You’ll learn:

  • Why biblical submission isn’t about domination or silence

  • How rebellion subtly hardens your heart (even when you think you’re "protecting" yourself)

  • How disorder in your home invites chaos, strife, and spiritual strongholds

  • What it really means to walk in the power, strength, and covering of God’s order

If you’re tired of surface-level advice…
If you’re desperate to see real change in your marriage…
If you’re ready to confront the spiritual roots that are holding you back—

This episode is for you.

🎙️ Listen now — and let the Holy Spirit open your eyes to the order that unlocks restoration.
