Roles in Marriage
Whose job is it anyway?
What Are the Biblical Roles of a Husband and Wife?
Few topics create more discussion in Christian marriage than the question of roles. What does the Bible actually teach about the responsibilities of husbands and wives? Have cultural expectations overshadowed God's design? And how can couples honor one another while building a healthy, Christ-centered marriage?
In this episode of The Marriage Show, Butch and Julieann Hartman explore one of the most important passages on marriage in Scripture - Ephesians 5 - and unpack what it means for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church and for wives to honor and respect their husbands.
Rather than focusing on stereotypes or outdated expectations, Butch and Julieann share how biblical marriage is rooted in sacrificial love, mutual service, trust, and putting Jesus at the center of every relationship. They also discuss how childhood experiences, broken families, and past hurts can shape the way we approach marriage, and how God can bring healing that transforms not only our relationships but future generations.
Drawing from more than 30 years of marriage, they offer honest stories from their own journey, practical biblical encouragement, and wisdom for couples who want to grow closer to one another while following Christ.
Whether you're engaged, newly married, celebrating decades together, or simply wanting to understand God's design for marriage, this conversation offers timeless principles that can strengthen your relationship and deepen your faith.
Watch the full episode to discover how embracing God's design for marriage can bring greater unity, healing, and lasting love into your home.
