Candace Cameron Bure broke down on Special Forces while explaining how much she relies on her husband, Valeri Bure, to lead, and how unsure she feels taking charge herself.

In a preview of the October 15 episode, the 50-year-old actress reflected on a failed challenge and connected her comfort with following instructions to her years as a child actor. She met Valeri when she was 18 and he was 20. The former professional athlete and Olympian, now 52, has been her husband since 1996.

“He does everything for me because he’s a good leader,” she said through tears. “I realized today, I don’t lead at all. I don’t feel confident in my voice.” She explained that testing herself was part of why she wanted to take on the competition: “I want to step up.”

She’s described her marriage in complementarian terms: a conservative Christian hierarchy in which husbands lead and wives follow. It assigns those roles by gender rather than giftedness or whether a husband is a good leader or the wife is a good follower.

In her 2013 book, Balancing It All, and interviews from that period, she said she chose a “more submissive role” because Valeri’s a “natural-born leader.” She wanted him to “lead and be the head of the family,” with major decisions falling to him.

She also said she’s “not a passive person” but submits to his leadership. Her “biblical definition” of submission was “meekness… not weakness. It is strength under control.” She described them as “equal in importance,” with different roles in their marriage.

In September, Cameron Bure said the show’s interrogations frightened her and that she cried more than she’d expected. She also came away disappointed in how she’d handled the team challenges, saying her fear affected the people competing alongside her.

“So I came home from the experience having learned that I could be a better teammate and just apply that to life,” she said. She wanted to bring that lesson into her marriage, parenting and friendships.
