Mocking Wives? When a Wife Struggles to Respect Her Husband: A Biblical Response
12/2/2025
In this raw and urgent episode, Ryan and Selena respond directly to a viral clip from Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (Love & Respect) where he calls out wives who “continually mock their husbands,” put them down mentally, and secretly make fun of their opinions.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “He’s just not the man I thought I married” … this episode is for you.
We dive deep into:
Husbands: this isn’t permission to be passive. A wife’s biblical respect flows most naturally when her husband loves her as Christ loves the church. We talk about that too.
Whether you’re the wife struggling with disrespect or the husband feeling crushed under constant criticism—this episode will challenge and encourage you toward the fierce, gospel-centered marriage you both long for.
Scriptures covered: Genesis 1–2, Ephesians 5:22–33, Proverbs 21:19, Proverbs 27:15–16, Romans 12:1–2

What Women Really Need in Marriage

Join us as we explore God’s design for men and women in marriage.

This frees wives to fully embrace who God has called them to be. Together, we’ll unpack what it looks like for husbands to walk in their role and how that opens the door for wives to flourish in theirs, leading to stronger, Christ-centered marriages.
