BEING A SUBMISSIVE WIFE IS NOT DOING YOUR HUSBAND ANY REAL FAVOUR. YOU ARE SIMPLY OBEYING GOD AND THAT MAKES FOR A SMOOTH RELATIONSHIP AND PEACEFUL MARRIAGE.
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.” – 1 Corinthians 11: 3
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 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. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.” – Ephesians 5: 22-24
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” – 1Peter 3: 1-4[/column]
