What does it really mean to submit in marriage? In Mutual Submission in Marriage, John MacArthur cuts through cultural confusion and explains how biblical submission reflects Christlike humility, love, and respect in both husbands and wives.

Is submission a sign of weakness—or strength under control? Is it just for wives, or does Scripture call both spouses to a life of mutual service? MacArthur turns to Ephesians 5 to clarify God’s design: a marriage rooted not in rivalry, but in sacrifice. Can a husband lead well without serving first? Can a wife follow without being valued?

So how do we live out this calling in real life? Can mutual submission actually bring unity, peace, and joy to marriage? In this brief yet rich booklet, MacArthur offers timeless wisdom that challenges couples to honor Christ by honoring each other—laying down pride and embracing God’s perfect plan.
