Marriage Questions about Sex, Submission, and In-Laws (Chad and Emily Van Dixhoorn)

Marriage is a wonderful gift given to us by God for our good, the good of our children, and ultimately the good of the world. And yet, despite this, marriage is hard and we often have questions. What's the ultimate purpose of marriage? Does the Bible really tell wives to submit to their husbands? How can couples cultivate a marriage marked by grace and forgiveness? The Van Dixhoorns answer these questions and more in this interview.

Chad Van Dixhoorn is a professor of church history at Westminster Theological Seminary and a former pastor in the United Kingdom and Virginia. Emily is a stay-at-home mom who leads and loves Bible studies and women’s retreats. Chad and Emily have five children.

Check out Chad and Emily's book on marriage called Gospel-Shaped Marriage: Grace for Sinners to Love Like Saints.
