DAVID EDGINGTON | The Importance of Submission: The Role of Women in Marital Strife

The Will Spencer Podcast

Dr. David Edgington, a biblical counselor and author of "The Abusive Wife," joins Will Spencer to discuss the often-overlooked issue of women's sin and the phenomenon of reviling wives, challenging the prevailing narrative that women are exempt from accountability.

The conversation delves into how cultural influences, particularly feminism, have contributed to a widespread reluctance to recognize women's failings in marriage and family dynamics. Edgington highlights the importance of acknowledging that both men and women are equally accountable for their actions, emphasizing that women's sin can manifest in destructive ways, including verbal and emotional abuse.

He encourages a return to biblical principles in counseling, advocating for a balanced approach that holds both spouses responsible for their behavior. The episode ultimately calls for humility, repentance, and the transformative power of Scripture in addressing these deep-rooted issues within relationships.
