"Mutual Submission" is NOT Biblical (What To Do Instead)

from The Family Captain · host John Michael Clark

You think your 7/10 marriage is pretty good. Then you discover what a biblical marriage actually looks like and realize you're closer to 7/100. The problem isn't that you need better communication or more date nights...it's that you've been sold a lie about partnership and mutual submission that's turned you into a family butler instead of a family captain. What if everything you've been taught about loving your wife is backwards? What if the "nice guy" approach that keeps the peace is actually destroying the respect, freedom, and passion your marriage was designed for?---👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain⁠---In This Episode:0:00 Intro8:00 Default Marriage11:25 Being afraid to lead23:09 Mutual submission38:32 What it looks like to move from "co-submission" to leading45:24 You can't lead with co-submission51:29 The two ditches1:03:35 Getting unstuck---👉 Want John Michael To Personally Help You Become The Best Man Your Wife And Kids Have Ever Known?
