You're driven. Responsible. Capable.
 You're the glue that holds everything together — the one who makes the plans, pays the bills, remembers the birthdays, keeps the faith, and carries the weight.

But underneath all that strength?
 There’s resentment. Exhaustion.
 A deep longing for partnership — not passivity.

In today’s episode of The High Ticket Woman, we’re tackling a conversation most people avoid:
What does biblical submission look like for the strong woman in a marriage where the husband seems passive?

If you’ve ever thought,

“I don’t want to run the whole show… but if I don’t, who will?”
…this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

  • What submission is — and what it definitely is not
  • Why your strength isn’t the problem (and what to do with it)
  • How to stop stepping in before your husband can step up
  • Practical steps to shift the dynamic without diminishing yourself

This is an episode about trust, order, and reclaiming the kind of partnership God designed — where both people show up fully, differently, and equally called.

Marriage in Bloom is open now — for couples (and individuals) who are ready to stop doing it all and start rebuilding their marriage with wisdom, structure, and real support.
