Family Business

Stuart Briscoe

Fewer couples are getting married than ever before. Those who are don't always look like a traditional bride and groom. Is this dramatic overhaul of marriage and family a natural progression of a man-made idea that should be embraced? Or is the traditional model of the family something more—a divine creation that is God's best for us?

In this series, Stuart explores the foundation of marriage and how it relates to the family. Why did God create it? What roles do husbands, wives, and children play? Is it something that needs to change with the times? As the relationships continue to be redefined by modern culture, discover what God's Word says about His plan for marriage and the family.

2. Wives, Submit to Your Husbands message info
Stuart Briscoe

Biblical and traditional teaching describes marriage as two people becoming "one" as God joins them together! Experiencing this obviously requires considerable adjustment involving, among other things, the wife "submitting" to her husband and the husband "loving" his wife. This is not easy to grasp or do!
