Summary
Few topics ruffle feathers like biblical roles, especially when you talk about ideas like headship and submission in marriage. In this episode we began a conversation (that continues into next week's episode) where we unpacked the what the Bible says about roles in marriage. Next week, we'll look at the implications for husbands and wives who are seeking to live in full light of what Scripture says on the matter. We hope our conversation encourages you and helps shed some light on this sometimes murky topic.

| 0:00.0 | Now, there are a few topics that are as relevant today as what we're talking about in this episode. |
| 0:06.9 | And that is headship, helpership, if that's even a thing, the head and the helper. |
| 0:12.7 | And what are there biblical grounds for gender roles within the marriage institution? |
| 0:20.3 | So you are here, if you're here listening to this, you are in for a lively episode. We've done a ton of research and we hope to distill it down into about 40 minutes. So we will see you on the other side. Welcome to the fierce marriage podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in. Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage. |

| 1:04.1 | I'm a hit misspoke. |
| 1:05.3 | We're going to try to do it in two episodes. |

| 1:17.6 | And as we're doing the research and as we're compiling our notes, we realized we really have to talk about this from a biblical, like doctrinal standpoint first to lay a really solid common ground |
| 1:27.9 | so that we can, I guess, parse through and understand scriptures correctly, faithfully. |
| 1:34.6 | And, yes. |
| 1:35.3 | It's really hard to separate the two. |
| 1:37.3 | When you're talking about the roles of a wife, it's, yes, we could have a whole episode |
