Submission. A word that is a instant red flag to many modern women. It sounds like a rule to be enforced, and a way a husband can get his way no matter what. But, t's so much more than that. Today we are joined by Dr. Mary Stanford, a theology professor from Christendom College, a wife of 26 years, a mother of 7, and the author of "The Obedience Paradox: Finding True Freedom in Marriage". Today we discuss what the Church really asks of wives and husbands and wives, why obedience and freedom are not opposites, and what a husband has to give before his leadership can be received. 👉 Mary Stanford book on submission: The Obedience Paradox https://www.amazon.com/dp/1681926954?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback 🟢 Join Catholic Gentleman+ for over 31 sessions of exclusive formation, daily saint quotes, and a brotherhood of men pursuing holiness: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 👉 Devin Schadt's new book The Marriage Gap: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-marriage-gap/?srsltid=AU7gw4XQRKty0esiDRfuPozEP0GiG8kHzXemqCBBJYD62q9U62o-C7ef COUPON CODE for 20% Off: Gentleman20 Video Producer – Joe Haggard Learn more about your ad choices.
