We dive into the hot topic of God’s design for mutual submission in marriage. Husbands bear the weight of Christlike headship through sacrificial leadership, and wives exercise powerful, faith-filled partnership by embracing God’s order. When both spouses seek to out-serve the other, families flourish and reflect Christ and His church.

QUESTIONS:

1.  Do you view submission through a cultural lens of control or through God’s lens of selfless giving and reverence for Christ?

2.  As a husband, are you leading like Jesus—loving, serving, and carrying responsibility rather than demanding?

3.  As a wife, where might God be inviting you to trust His design and let your husband lead with unity?
