Wife, God calls you to submit to your husband. But submission was never meant to be silence in the face of sin, or passive acceptance of dysfunction. Here’s the difference: #1. Submission is rooted in honor. Enabling is rooted in fear. Submission says, “I choose to respect and honor you as my husband.” Enabling says, “I will keep quiet, even if it hurts me or our family, because I’m afraid of your reaction.” “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” –
