Admin	Submit, submit, and submit Posted : 7 Sep, 2010 07:31 AM Hi girls, how far do you think we could be categorized as a submissive wife? How far should we go to be called as the wife who has fulfilled the Eph5:22. And, good news is, in order, wives first submit (Eph5:22) THEN the husbands love (Eph5:25). Isn't it interesting? =) Note for guys who read this: hey this could be your "weapon" if ur wife later isnt being submissive to u lol kiDDing :goofball: Post Reply
View Profile History	Submit, submit, and submit Posted : 7 Sep, 2010 11:52 PM My personal history with the verses about a wife being "submissive" has been turbulent to say the least. Misunderstandings and poor teaching had me very resentful of the male/female relationship that I *thought* had been outlined by God. This, and other injustices that existed in PEOPLE's interpretation of God's word, had me out of the spiritual/religious loop for a few years. I have to agree with the guys' ideas that it is a symbiotic relationship; I can't really bring myself to support the flow chart of God-"hubby"-wife, since I subscribe to the idea that the husband and wife submit to each other. However, I do think it is up to the man to be the public figurehead of the pairing. Also, I look at the 'submission' verses as a good way to remind you of who you should be looking for. For me, there are very few men in the world (to say the least) who I would eventually be able to say that I would trust to hold my well-being over their own or trust their judgment over my own.

(I could be wrong) I find that women who have problems with submission usally want to sit on Gods throne in their life. I gurantee you this: A man who knows how to love (agape), is obediant to His Lord, and very close, sold out, pass the point of no return, full of the Holy Spirit etc. is looking for a woman who WILL do her part and wont take anything less than a woman who will bend her will and knee to her God, and accept biblical authority from said man.

We are talking a lifetime partner, not just one nite stand. @Rabbit: agree as well. I dun doubt that typical men would find it hard to love their wives. Post Reply

And, it came to a conclusion for me is, based on Eph5:22, wives should submit to their hubbies as what wives regularly do to Christ, but there are advices/suggestions/opinions/supports/prayers to be thrown (the messages should be delivered in a Godly manner) to the hubbies. While with God, both wives and hubbies can do it (like Abraham did) but with less interruptions and more like "Yes, Lord, I have no more arguments since Your plans are above mine." More interruptions needed if wives deal with husbands, since husbands are not perfect, but God is. How about that? Does it make any sense? *thinking* Post Reply

I never made any mention of symbolism. Post Reply

springrose10 View Profile History	Submit, submit, and submit Posted : 9 Sep, 2010 01:05 PM My husband always said that he was the President and I was the CEO of the family unit. We both had a function and authority, but if we were unable to come to an agreement on an issue, the last say was his. After he died, a friend was helping me sort his belongings. She noticed little things here and there. She said, "I always knew that he spoiled you rotten. I didn't realize until now that you spoiled him too." I think that is what submission is: outdoing the other with love. Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor ~Romans 12:10 Rose Post Reply
