submissive wife

maybe 60 yrs ago that would have been acceptable and was the way but its 2009 and women arent suppressed anymore...We are strong, self thinking and quite able...If one CHOOSES to be totally submissive thats up to them but to be honest with you I find it shameful not just on her part but the husbands too..

i definatly dont and wont submit to my husband. that was the thing many moons ago but for some man to tell me what to do or thinking i should worship him? LOL. what a crock that is. NEVER. I have a daughter and i will raise her to NEVER be submissive towards her husband that ridiculous.

Don't even go there with me! If I submitted to my husband in all things, we would be homeless. He is full of great ideas, but not so good at getting the details straight before he tries things. My husband is a wonderful, good and kind person, but if I submitted to him all the time, it just would not work. I would have left him long ago, because I would be better off on my own. I have to keep my children fed and cannot rely on him for that. My marriage is a team effort. He helps with some of the household things and I help with some of the manly-type repair jobs. My kids know that they cannot ask mom for one thing, then go ask dad if she says no. We are a united front. This is a very emotional issue for me because if I had to submit to my husband in all things, I would be an irresponsible mother to stay with him. I love my husband dearly and would not give him up for anything!

In today's times of liberated and empowered women, society dictates that women should demand equal rights with men and that is correct. I believe a wife's submission to her husband is not degrading or demeaning at all as some may think but it is a way of demonstrating her obedience to God's design or standards. Submitting to her husband is submitting to the Lord as long as the husband also submits himself to the Lord.

I agree with what the bible says, but this does not work to other.

Not a chance. I am my own person, and he is his own person. I once had a man who had authority over me in my life, named DAD! lol Dad's still a part of my life, but I am an adult, and he's not in authority over me. To submit to my husband would be putting him in Dad's place over me as a child, and having marital relations with such a man would equal incest!!!! No way! Husbands should not be parents.

Yes it says to submit to your husband. Which I believe is correct, however too many people over look a couple other things said nearby in the Bible. 1. Actually in that passage it says to submit "as the church submits to Christ". That means to submit about the direction your life takes and to follow his lead. But also that it is his responsibility to lead in a manner that is best for everyone. As Christ leads the church ina manner that is best for it. 2. it states in another passage that husbands are to love and cherish their wives. Too many people forget this one in my oppinion. However, if he is not following that point you cannot follow this one.
