They discuss biblical submission, the equal value of husbands and wives, and the distinct roles God gives within marriage. Husbands are challenged to be “worth following” by first submitting to Jesus and leading their homes with love, respect, spiritual maturity, and intentionality.

When Jesus is Lord of our lives and our marriages, we make room for God to work and allow our relationships to reflect His design.
