It sounds to me like you are being raised right. DO NOT let these people on Yahoo convince you otherwise. Dress modestly and submit to your husband because God tells us to. I do and I have a very happy life. You are only 14 so just start praying now that you choose the right man for your husband. You do that and the rest will come fairly easily.

While it may seem that both christian and muslim religions require women to bow down before her husband, that is not true. I don't know about islam so I can't talk about it, but the christian religion means submission in the ways of respect. Don't forget, for a long time the thinking of people was "the man knows best". Now a days, it's about respect. When you love someone, you respect them. The man is even cautioned, by the bible, to love and respect his wife, to treat her with kindess. It's one of the seven different scriptures that you can have read at a CAtholic wedding mass (I should know, I nearly picked it out for my wedding). Women are not meant to bow before their husbands anymore. They even took out "To obey" from the wedding vows.

You're 14 years old, the last thing you should be worried about is a husband. The thing about living in submission to her husband, be careful who you marry. Some men take that verse to an extreme and take advantage of a person.

specific, as long via fact the husband isn't desiring her to undergo sin. As a believer, your movements in love are greater advantageous than something you are able to say. people be conscious our stroll, and characteristic a tendency to be skeptical (at superb) by way of our talk..quite whilst coping with JESUS CHRIST. despite the fact that if if the husband is asserting do no longer pass to worship or cheat on your taxes or any form of little products that arise in a marriage and that subject is anticipated to compromise what you recognize are top , then No, do no longer undergo sinning...merely tell the husband. Honny, i such as you and admire you, yet i won't conform to this on account that's contray to the word of God.

As a 14 y/o I think you are smarter than most of the bigots here on Yahoo Answers!
There are many similarities between Islam and Christianity but very significant differences. For example, Muslims don't believe that Eve was the cause for Adam's downfall in Heaven, the Qur'an states that BOTH Adam and Eve were EQUALLY responsible for their actions.
From the Qur'an...
Surah 7:21-22
And he (Satan) swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser. So by deceit he brought about their fall: when THEY tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to THEM, and THEY began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
From the Bible....
1 Timothy 2:11-14
11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

Yes, dear. There is truth in what you say. In Islam, women are told to submit to their husbands as well: this means show respect and honour the husband who is responsible for the family. The husband is ordered to protect and provide for the needs of the wife and the family. Both the husband and the wife and told to treat each other kindly, with mercy, love and respect. This is what the family is about. Discussions and sharing are very important too.
The dress code (veil) is something that Allah orders us to do, not the husband forces the wife into. I am a 33 year old veild woman and no one forced me to wear the hijab, not my father, not by brother, not any one. I chose to do it for Allah.

God is the one that created marriage,families and even male and female.If you want to have a good marriage you can't beat going by the instructions of the one that created it.Just because there are some that abuse it (and both sexes do that) doesnt mean anything.If you seek God"s will I'm certain he will guide you to a good husband when it's time.
God bless

I am too but I DO NOT belive that wives should submit to their husbands. YOU have the freedom to choose what you belive and just becuase a person chooses not to believe such things which are oppressive in my view, does not mean they are not a believer.
It makes me so angry when I hear some Christians defining themselves on more than the death of Jesus Christ. If we were expected to get it right 100% of the time and that related to everything in the Bible, then we wouldnt get into heaven much!
Mayby you are okay with it, but pls pls DONT EVER accept something you can feel within yourself you have concerns about.........if you do then it will be useless becuase you wont believe it in your heart. Believing everything you are told does not make you a better Christian, finding it out for yourself DOES.
I pride myself on finding things out for myself and I think that makes me a better Christian for it. If other ppl have doubt about your faith, then it is them who is judging, if YOU have doubts about what you are doing (ie. if it's good/bad??), then listen to them. It says in the Bible to "listen to your heart, with your heart one sees rightly" (it's by Paul but not sure what book I think). Try doing that and then let God guide you, dont let other ppl force you as they are NOT the only way God has talking to you and letting you know stuff, and is not a guaruntee they know everyhting!!!!!

It is stated in Ephesians (chapter 5 I believe)...Husbands, love your wives as Christ so loved the Church and gave Himself for it...Treat them as you would your own body...
How many (even Christian) men follow this clear direction? Submissive does not mean slave or doormat. Marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship.

No. Christian women must submit to the "spiritual authority" of their husbands ONLY; an unmarried or divorced Christian woman is subject to the authority of God only. There is also a commandment to Christian men that they submit to their wives, which many of us tend to forget. Under the New Covenant law of Jesus Christ, women are equal in all ways to men. We are "priests" in the Order of Melchizedek, with Jesus as our High Priest; as such, we are free to preach, prophesy, sing and worship openly in our Churches. Christian women are instructed to dress modestly, but there is no requirement that we cover our entire bodies, leaving very little flesh exposed.
However, Muslim women under the system you describe (sharia) are not considered equals to men before "Allah," cannot make spiritual decisions of any kind, cannot make decisions regarding their children (i.e. education, living arrangements, ect.) and aren't even considered proper guardians of their own children in the event of a divorce. They must cover the entirety of their bodies, except eyes and hands, so men are not moved to lust. If they are caught in adultry or even suspected of it, they are killed in some countries with no legal consequences. If a Muslim woman is raped in some countries, she is blamed entirely. In a case that happened about a year ago, a married woman was raped by her father-in-law; a mullah applying sharia law to the situation required her to divorce her husband and marry her rapist. She and her husband refused and fled the country.
I hope this helps. Peace.
