Since Jesus told women they must submit to their husbands does that mean they have to obey sexually too?

Question

Sorry, but the 2000 year old dead lunatic has spoken.

It's not my fault.

Just following god's command.

Now bend over.

Epehsians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Ok. It was Paul who actually said it. Big deal. Christians still listen to everything he said as if he were jesus.

Answer 1

Paul said that. You know. The bald misogynist closeted homosexual guy who never met Jesus but founded Christianity (i.e. Paulism) anyhow.

Answer 2

First that was Paul not Jesus. Second Read the second part of that sentance it says Submit ... AS THEY SUBMIT TO CHRIST. Now follow me on this ... Don't get lost. Do you see anywhere that it says a man must submit sexually to Christ the answer is.... NO (except as to QUELL lusts of the flesh) So the answer is NO a wife is not to be submissive in the bedroom. That being said a Healthy Married Sex life is an awesome Gift from God and it can be enjoyed in many varied and healthy ways. Totally up to the married couple except were it infringes on one or the others feelings and respect.

Answer 3

The downfall of every good man is a WOMAN. Adam could not
say "HELL NO" to Eve. President William Jefferson Clinton was
not able to say "HELL NO" to Monica Lewinsky. I lost over one
half of a $1,000,000 because I could not say "HELL NO" to RENE
I used to attend a Church of Christ from 1978 to 1987. It sound
like you have a husbands who only want sex 8X a day. Well you
will want sex 8X a day when you are in your 30's or 40's. Even if
you SUBMIT to all of husband's sexual desires & any new ones,
then he will still cheat because a woman will turn 18 every minute
and he will never ever stop looking.THE BIGGEST PERVERTS
THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN ARE IN THE CHURCH. The best
advice that I got was from a married man who told me that a
spouse will've sex with whoever happens to turn on that spouse
at any given moment in time and all any spouse can hope for is
that a spouse will faithful. The more you tried to CONTROL him
the less CONTROL you will have over him. You will only find a
faithful man in the graveyard. Just remember that a man worry
about the 5 G's when it comes to sex. Can he Get it up, Can he
Get it in, Can he get off, Can he get out, & Can he get away.
I hopes these words will help you understand us men better, but
when he does cheat, hire a good female attorney who will teach
him that a few moments of passion will cause a lifetime of heart
& headaches.

Answer 4

I believe that the Word of God teaches us that when we submit to our mates - husbands love your wives - wives submit to your husbands, as UNTO THE LORD. People forget that part. You are doing your part in the relationship as you all submit to the will of the Lord. This is not supposed to be a selfish thing. When a man and woman commit their lives to each other, they are no longer TWO PEOPLE - they are one - and in order to be one, you have to do things and think as one. There cannot be a division. It's about the two becoming one. Sex is an issue that both parties who love and are commited to each other agree upon. If my husband who loves me, cares for me wants me in a sexual way and I am not willing - perhaps the weight of the world is on my shoulder - it is his job to encourage me, love me, support me, get me to the point that I am longing for him once again. And vice versa. Even the Word of God teaches that the two can 'separate' sexually for a time - for specific prayer, fasting and meditation - but they must come back together again less - satan attempt to intervene and cause dissention.

Answer 5

The catch to that statement is that in a Christian relationship, the man would be Christlike enough to not want to force his wife to submit to anything she didn't feel was right. If he's not being a good christian, that kind of negates the whole arrangement. The scriptures instruct both man and woman, it's not to be used as a tool by selfish men to justify their own actions.

Answer 6

I think you are guilty of being too lazy intellectually.
If you read what scripture says to women (and I will give you the benefit of the doubt here though you show no signs of reading) Than surely you read what is says to men.
Things like "Men are to treat their wives like their own body" or "Men are to treat Their wives like Jesus does the church."
Would you rather be a piece of property that can be freely killed by your husband if you disobey him(Islam)?

Judaism is the first religion that had woman's rights, women inheriting from the father, maternal parental lines not paternal.
Woman's rights have a great debt to pay to the Judaic-christian culture.
"In Christ there is no Jew nor Greek, no Male or Female for all are one..."
Odd sounds like to Jesus we are all equal...

Answer 7

Can you quote the passage on the bible?

I have one for you:

Gen 2:18-24 (ESV) Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

Some religions may have HELPER, while other may have COMPANY.

But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.


"It is not good that man should be alone."

Answer 8

When did Jesus say this? (Hint: Never).

As for the admonition by the Apostle Paul, a local pastor made a good point: Quoting admonitions isn't foreplay.

Answer 9

The Bible tells us to submit to each other, and that our body is not our own, but the other persons. This doesn't mean anything goes... look at the Mosaic laws as an example.

Answer 10

Paul speaks on this matter in fairly good detail in 1 Corinthians 7. It says quite explicitly that in marriage a wife gives authority over her body over to her husband and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. If you are having trouble with marriage i suggest you pray about it and TALK about it with your husband. If he is no longer attractive to you than you can command him to exercise more because you have authority over his body. If he is no longer kind to you than work with him to become more Christlike. However if you are being physically abused than please get out of your marriage. May God be with you.
