When people read what the Bible says about marriage—especially passages about roles, submission, and leadership—it can raise some big questions. Is the Bible outdated? Is it unfair to women? And how should we understand these passages today?

In this message from our Asking for a Friend series, we take an honest look at what the Bible actually teaches about marriage. Rather than relying on assumptions or cultural stereotypes, we explore the heart behind the biblical design for marriage and what it means for both husbands and wives.

We’ll unpack some commonly misunderstood passages, talk about the context in which they were written, and look at how the life and teachings of Jesus shape the way Christians understand love, sacrifice, and partnership in marriage.

Is the Bible’s view of marriage unfair—or is there something deeper going on?

Let’s explore the question… asking for a friend.
