Posted : 5 Mar, 2012 02:48 PM Are you willing to obey these commands for any man: Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

And just as God commanded wives, he also commanded husbands, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her." (Ephesians 5:25) and in Ephesians 5:28, " it is commanded, "So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself." A woman who is loved by her husband will want to submit to him as leader of the household. Post Reply

I believe the man is a covering for the women which means he has a big responsibility to make sure he is following God wholeheartedly so as to not bring the family into sin before God. Also a good leader means they are good servants. Are you able to fulfill these commands? When studying the bible it is important to look up the original meaning of a word such as the hebrew, greek or aramaic because so many words do not translate well into one english word. Interesting topic. God Bless! Post Reply

The teaching of scripture is that wives submit to their husbands.

View Profile History	Are you willing to obey these commands? Posted : 11 Mar, 2012 05:02 PM Also in the verse before (Eph 5:21) it says "Submit to one another in Christ". I don't see were it says submit to everyone except your wife in Christ in that verse do you? How does that work exactly? Post Reply
