In this conversation, we explore:

• The subtle signs you may be prioritizing your kids over your marriage
• Why this dynamic is so common—especially for moms
• How this imbalance can affect your kids more than you realize
• Practical ways to reconnect and realign your priorities as a couple

Submission. It’s one of the most misunderstood—and misused—words in Christian marriage.

Submission in marriage was never meant to silence, control, or strip a wife of her worth.

But somewhere along the way, the beauty of biblical submission got twisted.

If “submission” in your marriage feels more like fear than trust, more like control than love, you’re not alone. Too many wives have been told to endure manipulation in the name of obedience—but that’s NOT God’s design.

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re unraveling the lies about submission and revealing what true, biblical submission looks like. Because God’s heart for marriage isn’t about control—it’s about love, respect, and mutual honor. 🙌

🎧 Listen now and discover:

✨ The difference between healthy and twisted submission

✨ Why submission doesn’t mean silence

✨ How to embrace God’s gift without losing yourself

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re diving into the complex relationship between religious teaching, shame and sex.

God intended sex to be a beautiful gift for a husband and wife to enjoy in marriage. However, many of us grew up with unhelpful religious messages about purity, modesty, and what it means to be a "good" Christian in the area of sex. Too often those messages brought deep shame and left us disconnected from our bodies and our desires, often creating unnecessary pain and confusion in the marriage relationship.

Today, we’re untangling several of these unhelpful religious narratives and reclaiming a healthier perspective on intimacy.
