Does it feel like your husband isn't measuring up as a spiritual leader? Maybe he doesn't pray at meals or lead family devotions, and you're quietly waiting on him to step up first.
If so, this one's for you.
This question came up again and again in our latest reader survey, from wives with quieter husbands, wives in unequally yoked marriages, and even a mom worried about her daughter's family.
That's why, in this episode, we're going straight to Colossians 3 and Ephesians 5 to see what Scripture actually says about husbands leading (and what it doesn't).
Spoiler: a lot of what we expect from Christian husbands isn't in there.
I'm also sharing what spiritual leadership really looks like in my own marriage, including the two times my husband vetoed me (and why I only listened once).
In this episode, we talk about: • What the Bible actually asks of husbands and wives, and which "rules" come from culture instead • Why you don't have to wait for your husband to go first before you read your Bible, pray, or go to church • What it means that you're not your husband's Holy Spirit (and why that's such a relief) • How submission works when God is above your husband, not the other way around • A simple prayer for when you want something for your family and your husband isn't on board yet • How to spot the quieter ways your husband is already leading your family
If you've been carrying the weight of your husband's faith along with your own, you can set down what God never asked you to carry. Give your husband some grace, keep growing in your own faith, and start noticing the leadership that's already there.
