For years, Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth has taught what the Bible says on marriage.

Then she got married and had to start living it out.

And as I've tried to choose the pathway of submission to let my husband lead,

I have watched this precious man bend over backward to serve and bless me.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamut, author of Adorned, for the past couple of days, you know that we've been leaning in on this phrase in Titus 2, where older women are instructed to teach, to train the young women to be submissive to their own husbands.

Last in seven qualities in this curriculum for younger women discipleship.

And this is a tough one.

It's tough in any era, any generation, but I think it's especially tough in ours today.

Because the worldview in which we live is so

diametrically opposed to this whole concept. So you can sound like you're for abuse, you've got three

heads, I mean you're crazy if you teach on this today. And there are women who have been deeply

wounded, scarred by men who weren't thinking God's way about this subject.

So if you miss the last couple of programs, I want to encourage you to go back to Revive Our Hearts.com,

to listen to those, to read the transcripts, perhaps to pick up a copy of the adorned book

where we have a whole chapter that unpacks this message. And other teaching we've done on

this, because you can't say everything, you can't give all the caveats in one session. You can't

cover all the bases. And you may have a situation that is very different than anything I've talked about.

So go to the Lord and ask him for wisdom. But if you start with this assumption that God is good,

that he loves you, that submission was his idea, and that properly understood, it is a blessing. There is the strength and the beauty of submission

done God's way. So I want to talk today for a few moments about what do I do when I disagree

with my husband's decisions or his direction? And actually, this is the only time that submission really becomes an issue in marriage.

Because when you both agree with each other, then you both agree with each other, right?
