Is a wife really called to be submissive to her husband in everything? What if her husband isn’t a believer, he's making the wrong decision, sinning against her or asking her to sin? What does she do then?
I believe that many women suffer needlessly under the guise of being submissive to their husbands, when what God really wants, is for them to stand firm in their faith.
Join me for a candid, heart-led journey through the pivotal moments when a wife must choose to obey God by obeying her husband or prioritize God over her husband.
Because there can be a rather fine line between when you’re to be submissive and when you're not, and the fact that how you decline your husband‘s request is equally important, you will probably want to take some notes today.
So, grab your pen and paper and let’s get started.
