What Does Yehovah Actually Require of Me?
Marriage can be beautiful. It can also become one of the hardest places to figure out what faithfulness actually requires.
Women are often told to submit more, pray harder, forgive faster, keep the peace, carry their husband’s burdens, protect his reputation, and trust Yehovah with the rest.
But what happens when those familiar phrases begin carrying responsibilities Scripture never actually gave us?
Unequally Yoked Wives is a Scripture-centered teaching series for women who want neither an excuse to abandon biblical marriage nor religious language that requires them to enable sin.
Here we will ask a better question: What does Yehovah actually require of me?

What Do the Biblical Texts Actually Say About Headship and Submission?
Scripture tells wives to submit and calls the husband the head of the wife. But what does the text actually say those words mean—and what have Christians sometimes added to them? This teaching examines submission, headship, one flesh, conscience, spiritual authority, wisdom, fear, and the claims Scripture never actually makes.
