Submissive Wife

<< < (4/5) > >>

Jeff:
At its core it's a model.  Everything physical is a model of something spiritual.  The church, marriage, family.  It all reflects what will be.

jingle52:
An inspiring thread, thank you all for all the sound advice and testimonies. I very much identified with the wives whose husbands are non believers. Judy, as you have testified, you have learnt to to be kind, patient and humble towards your husband over the years and that is showing the fruit of His Spirit.

I was hesitant to write because I have some mixed feelings about the church attendance issue. I appreciate the thoughtful and full of thought answers.

lareli:
Ephesians 5:22 tells wives to submit to their husbands... But doesn't Ephesians 5:21 tell everyone to submit to one another?

octoberose:
Exactly. Submit out of reference for Christ - wives submit to your husbands ( to Your husband, not everyone else's Thank Goodness) and husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church. Without a doubt, a great weight of responsibility is on the husbands.
But, the wife is never the head of the husband  though the husband needs to be willing to lay down his wants for hers. At least that is how I see submitting to one another.
