When Serving and Submitting Are Hard

"Happy wife, happy life." That's what many couples go into marriage believing. Can I tell you that statement isn't biblical, though? The success of a marriage shouldn't be dependent upon the happiness of only one person. 

As young girls, oftentimes we envision marriage as the fairy tales we read in books or see in movies. It generally doesn't cross our minds that God's called us to be  submissive to our husbands. Or that life is about serving, not being served. In today's podcast episode, Tiffanie Walls share with us:

• What biblical servanthood means and how to live this out practically,
• What biblical submission means and looks like in marriage,
• What to do if you feel as if there's no leadership in your marriage,
• Advice for women struggling with submission,
• What to do when you're ready to throw in the towel, and more!

Scriptures

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife. - Proverbs 21:9

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. - Colossians 3:18-19

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. - 1 Peter 4:8

Quote

"Our marriage should point back to Christ." -Tiffanie Walls
