Family Teams Ep 5: Marriage as a Partnership

What can Star Wars and Pontius Pilate teach us about God's design for marriage? A surprising amount, actually. In this episode, I'm going to dive into one of the most loaded marriage terms in the Bible: "suitable". Do you know what this word actually means in the original Hebrew? It's not at all what you think. In fact, I almost never hear people talking about this. There seem to be 2 camps that can basically be summed up as, "my wife needs to submit to everything" and "we're equal so nobody leads". The definition of this word makes ALL the difference, and really shines a light on how God designed marriage, and how it operates best.
