Expanded Notes:

• Shift the conversation from authority to love
• The growth moment for you may be to initiate the conversation with your wife
• What could mutual submission look like for your relationship?
• Men are called to go first, from a place of love and service
• The lane of authority will eventually lead to abuse
• Your struggles may be because of trying to live out teaching that just isn’t right
• You may have opportunities to help other guys, simply by asking them how things are going
• Or, what would it look like for you to ask for some help from someone you trust?
