What does the Bible actually say about submission, respect, and leadership in marriage?

In part one of this new marriage series, Liz takes a closer look at the Scriptures that are often quoted when talking about marriage and submission, and challenges us to stop using God’s Word in ways that He never intended.

Submission is not about losing your voice. Leadership is not about control. And Scripture should never be used to excuse manipulation, intimidation, mistreatment, or abuse.

This episode looks at what biblical marriage is really supposed to reflect: humility, sacrifice, mutual care, truth, and a willingness to put one another before ourselves. Liz walks through several passages of Scripture and encourages us to look at the whole message of the Bible rather than pulling individual verses out of context.

Scripture discussed: Ephesians 5:21 Ephesians 5:25 Philippians 2:3–4 Romans 12:2 Ephesians 4:15

This is part one of Liz’s new marriage series, and it’s an important conversation for anyone who wants to understand marriage through a biblical lens while recognizing the difference between God-honoring leadership and unhealthy control.
