A Submissive Wife Knows To Listen to Understand, Not to Respond

A wife who desires to walk in submission must make it a priority to truly listen when her husband speaks. Too often, it’s easy to prepare a response before he’s even finished talking. But a submissive wife listens attentively—not to debate or correct, but to understand his thoughts, feelings, and intentions. She focuses on the whole conversation, not just the parts she wants to respond to. This kind of listening is an act of respect and love. It shows him that his voice matters, that he is heard, and that she values his leadership. Good listening builds trust. Trust builds unity.
