The One Verse That Would Change Your Marriage
About this episode
Shawn Johnson discusses how mutual submission in marriage, based on Ephesians 5:21, can lead to deeper connection and healing.
Healthy marriages are built on mutual submission, not self-preservation. In Week 1 of our Summer Lovin’ series, Shawn Johnson teaches from Ephesians 5:21 and explores what it means to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Looking at the example of Jesus, we see that real love serves, surrenders, and sacrifices. When we pursue Christ first, the fruit of the Spirit begin shaping the way we love our spouse. Scripture reminds us that love is patient, kind, and not self-seeking. This message challenges us to pursue humility, confess where we’ve fallen short, and take practical steps toward healing and deeper connection in our marriages.
