The times were different when that was written, but if a woman is intelligent and marries a man she can respect, then this verse would not be a problem. Marry a man simple because he flatters you and happens to be there, you're going to have a lot of issues.

Most men would applaud this behaviour but id never submit to a man, i think there is no need for this.

Look I believe ing od and all that but have to say the submitting thing is a load of crap. I am 55 was in a marriage and22 year relationship and will never submit to anyone-period. Raised my son alone andtook careof my mother when she was dying. The submitting thing is damn rong. If other people want to do it they can-it's not where I want to be.

It takes a very special kind of relationship to submit totally. I personally like the idea of being with a man I could trust to take care of my every need, but I am too much of a realist to believe I would ever met one! lol!

As long as said husbands remember the rest of the passage, which says:
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her [as in, his life]."
If I had a husband who loved me enough to give his life for me, I'd have no issue with submitting to him.

Probably not submitting, but respecting yes.
If I were married, I'd respect the decision my hubby make despite me disagreeing coz I believe there cannot be two leader in a team! Too confusing ;)
Of course, being girls, we know that guys always screw up when they don't listen! You just got to have plan b ready ;)

Thats Ephesians 5:22 and that doesnt mean that women are suppose to let their Husbands walk all over them. Both husband and wife are suppose to submit. The wife submit means to willingly follow the Husbands leadership in Christ and for the Husband it means to set aside his own interests and desires to care for his Wife.

Yes I would be best because it would keep some many homes together. And give a lot of good men a chance to run their homes and be the man they could be. God didn't make the woman the head of the house

Yes but only if the husband follow the guidelines for headship in the bible then it would in turb make it "easy" for her to submit.

You dont have to be religous to obey you husband, it is the first rule of marriage, i been submitting in all thing to my H from the day we were married and i wouldnt have it any other way, he likes me like this and supplies me with every single thing i need from clothing to wear to a home to live in.

I think "in all things" includes only things within reason. Actions and decisions made in love and righteousness. If a husband is not a "godly" head covering then he is not worth submitting to.

This is one of the most abused passages. I think that most women would indeed submit to their husbands IF the husbands loved the wives "as Jesus loved the church" but, in reality, life just isn't like that. The fact that a man sports an apendage doesn't make him have integrity or warrant respect and submission, that is earned by blood, sweat, and tears. In a healthy marriage no husband LORDS over his wife, she is an individual with her own mind and will.
