How A Wife Can Encourage Her Husband To Lead Spiritually

How can a wife encourage her husband to lead spiritually? This episode came straight from wives in the Marriage After God community who asked Aaron and Jennifer Smith to talk about it. Aaron lays the biblical foundation for headship from Ephesians 5:23 and 1 Corinthians 11:3, explaining that a husband's authority is derived from Christ: 'my authority does not come from me being a man, it comes from Christ.' Jennifer shares honestly about her own growth in submission, including a story about school-loan debt and an apology at a sandwich shop. Together they walk through five concrete ways a wife can encourage her husband: pray for him, ask him to wash her in the Word, bring her Bible questions to him first, affirm him with kind words, and support him in action, all anchored in 1 Peter 3 and the power of godly conduct 'without a word.'
