Description

In this episode, we discuss practical marriage implications of submission and leadership for Christian Marriages. Specifically, how do wives submit to their husbands?  How do husbands lead in a considerate and selfless way? In answering these questions, we dive into 1 Peter 3:1-7 and see what these things mean (and what they don't mean) and how we ought to live our lives as Christians.

Wives:

Godly submission is powerful, beautiful and rewarding.

What does this attitude of submission look like in a marriage?

1. It involves “respectful and pure conduct,”
2. This attitude of submission isn’t seen in a woman’s external clothing, but in “the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.”
3. This submissive posture helps a woman trust and do good, not fear.

Husbands:

Godly leadership is considerate and selfless.

1. Know Her
2. Cherish/Honour her
