My Wife Is More Spiritual — How Do I Lead Her? // Ask Pastor John

A video published by Desiring God on November 9th, 2020

As a husband, I know that God calls me to lead my family. But what if my wife is more capable and more spiritually mature than I am? If a wife is more spiritually mature than her husband, how does the husband lead her spiritually? Not an uncommon situation. Not an uncommon question in the inbox, and it’s up next in an email from a young man. “Pastor John, hello! How do I lead my wife spiritually when she is more spiritually mature than I am? I became a true follower of Christ years after my wife, and her spiritual maturity is far greater than mine. For most of my marriage I’ve been a poor leader of my family, especially in spiritual matters. But by the grace of God I’m growing in my faith, and I’m slowly starting to take the reins of leadership in my family. My wife’s discernment, desire, and dependence on the Lord are incredible examples, and I often ask her advice and discernment in my search and reading through Scripture. So how can I better lead her?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/my-wife-is-more-spiritual-how-do-i-lead-her Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
