Roles, responsibilities, submission, and authority are all important factors in any relationship or marriage. For many, they have become emotional landmines. If we allow popular culture create the narrative, it will tell you your relationship should look one way. He must be the breadwinner. She must cook, clean, and stay at home to raise the children. What he says goes and it is not up for debate.
What if I told you that God flipped the script on us? I stay at home with the child most of the day. I don't have a job paying consistent money. I depend on my wife to provide health insurance for the family. I cook and clean mostly. Yet, my wife still submits to my leadership. Most would say to her in private that she needs to ESCAPE and call a quits. WOULD YOU?
One thing is true. When you are being led by the Spirit of God, you can't also submit and surrender to the voice of popular culture. You can't be led by both. And sometimes, just sometimes, God will lead you to do uncanny, unfamiliar things because He is working something extraordinary in your life. Can you submit to Him?
Tune in as we discuss egalitarian, complementarian, and the hard work of defining roles in your marriage.
