When Your Husband is in the Line of Fire

After the Twitter storm in January when I tweeted about male and female roles in marriage, my wife wrote an article, alongside one I did earlier, that has been published in today's Winter 2015 9Marks Journal.


Here's an excerpt from When Your Husband in the Line of Fire:

"No woman should want a coward by her side. Yet many women cultivate cowardly men when they usurp the roles God designed in headship and submission. As Christian women, we should instead stand with our husbands and pastors in the line of fire against the prevailing culture that erodes the biblical distinctions between men and women. If wives are called to be suitable helpers, we ought to be their biggest supporters on the battlefield. We can encourage and respect our husbands, drawing out their leadership qualities, by our speech and actions. And, as women, we can teach younger women biblical femininity, and what to look for in a man worthy to be her spiritual leader."
