Summary

Join us as we explore God’s design for men and women in marriage. When men step into their God-given calling—leading with love, humility, and strength—it creates an environment where women can feel safe, secure, honored, and deeply loved. This frees wives to fully embrace who God has called them to be. Together, we’ll unpack what it looks like for husbands to walk in their role and how that opens the door for wives to flourish in theirs, leading to stronger, Christ-centered marriages.Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.
