Let's have couple's conferences

I’m not sure that separate husbands and wives conferences are helpful. I worry that people will come away with an unbalanced picture and unbalanced demands. In a marriage there is not just a wife doing her thing, or a husband doing his. They are both acting. To tell wives that they must submit to their husbands, and serve, help and provide companionship for them may be too much to ask. It may be more than they can bear. But that is not the way God intended it – rather, at the same time as women are submitting to their husbands, husbands are there, laying down their lives for their wives (Ephesians 5:22-33).
