Marriage Unmasked

Twisted Submission in Marriage


Listen Later

Submission. It’s one of the most misunderstood—and misused—words in Christian marriage.

Submission in marriage was never meant to silence, control, or strip a wife of her worth. 

But somewhere along the way, the beauty of biblical submission got twisted. 

If “submission” in your marriage feels more like fear than trust, more like control than love, you’re not alone. Too many wives have been told to endure manipulation in the name of obedience—but that’s NOT God’s design.

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re unraveling the lies about submission and revealing what true, biblical submission looks like. Because God’s heart for marriage isn’t about control—it’s about love, respect, and mutual honor. 🙌

🎧 Listen now and discover:

 ✨ The difference between healthy and twisted submission

 ✨ Why submission doesn’t mean silence

 ✨ How to embrace God’s gift without losing yourself
