submission

In a culture that worships independence, what exactly does “two becoming one” mean or even look like in today’s Christian marriage? In this broadcast, join Michael and Cindy’s discussion about why we get married and God’s true purpose for marriage.

Why does the woman drop her maiden name and take on the husband’s last name? This isn’t a “man’s world” cultural tradition. It’s a biblical concept. In this broadcast/podcast, Michael takes us back to the creation story in Genesis and shows us the Biblical perspective on a shared last name.

When a male leads on the ballroom dance floor, he leads with strength and clear cues so his partner knows what steps she’ll take next. The female dancer has to place complete confidence and trust in her male counterpart, as much of the time she is being led to dance backwards. When Michael and Cindy first took dance lessons, they noticed that a lot of their interaction on the dance floor was very symbolic of their roles in marriage. Hear more in this podcast/broadcast about submission in marriage and on the dance floor.

Exploring and applying God’s purpose of marriage, the concept of two becoming one, and the responses of leadership and submission became a crucial cornerstone in our marriage and in the marriage mentor group curriculum we teach.
