John MacArthur on Ephesians 5: whether submission is weakness or strength under control, and whether Scripture asks it of both spouses. Read more.
What does it really mean to submit in marriage? John MacArthur cuts through the cultural confusion and asks the questions directly: is submission a sign of weakness, or strength under control? Is it only for wives, or does Scripture call both spouses to a life of mutual service?
Turning to Ephesians 5, MacArthur sets out God's design for a marriage rooted not in rivalry but in sacrifice - a husband who cannot lead well without serving first, and a wife who cannot follow well unless she is valued. Short enough for an engaged couple to read together.
