Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-24

Biblical submission in marriage often triggers resistance because of our sinful nature, but God’s original design shows marriage as a complementary partnership where two become one. True submission means being a respectful helpmate who encourages her husband to lead like Christ, not blind obedience or becoming a doormat. This involves using your influence to build up rather than tear down, pointing your husband toward Jesus when needed, and trusting God’s design even when your husband fails. The ultimate example is Jesus, who willingly submitted to the Father’s will. Biblical submission flows from a transformed heart that trusts God’s good plan for marriage.
