Yes
I am submissive to my Husband(He does not abuse me and treats me like a queen)
He is the head of the household
by my being submissive he in turn learns to be submissive to God

I believe that marriage is a partnership and that trust is vital in any relationship. When you love and have learned to trust someone, it’s easy for you to obey and support them. I know what the scriptures says about being submissive but I also believe that for a wife to feel comfortable about obeying and being submissive to her husband, the atmosphere has to be right i.e an atmosphere of love, trust and security.
Sometimes I do not agree with my husband on certain projects because I am seeing things from a different point of view. I let him know what my thoughts are and still support him regardless. If it works out right then we are both happy, if not then he learns the hard way but still I think obedience is important. In 1 Samuel 15, 22- 23 – it says to OBEY is better than sacrifice and says rebellion (which I think is the same as disobedience) is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
I hope this helps.

If you believe and trust God you'll surely do it, thought it's not easy and an telling it by experience. I got married a few months ago and in the beginning it was really difficult for me to obey him, since i was really independent. But when I read the Bible, i have learned that to love God is to obey to his instruction as everything that he put in the Bible is for our own benefits an if God tell you that the woman has to obey his husband you should do it.
The Bible contains lot of great advice for every member of the family, what is written in 2 Timothy 3:16 is really true.

If I was married I would let my Husband be the head of the household. I just don't like the word obey. I Just think that is the wrong way of putting this. but my Husband will be the head as long as he didn't think I was his slave like my Dad treated my Mom

yes, a godly, loving husband. a husband is also told to love his wife as Christ loves the church. So in an authentic Christian marriage obeying would not mean a husband dominating a wife but a wife revering a husband who makes decisions based on what is best for her and the family. Ahusband is there to protect, guide and nurture his wife and the wife is there to help and support her husband in his leading ofthe family

Although I am not a woman, I do want to add something that I think is very important for the guys that will be reading this.
Yes I think a wife should be submissive to her husband BUT we need to remember we are told to love our wives. If I love my wife, I will not want to do anything that will hurt her. Submission has to be offered....it can never be demanded. Both husbands and wives have a part to make marriage work.....see Marriage His Duties, Her Duties in the link below

yes, very much so. when you are in a truly respectable Christian marriage a woman can easily "obey" her husband for all he wants to do it please her and treat her better then himself. they work together 100% each - not 50/50. graciouos what do you get when you only give 50% -- failure!

I obey no one but God.
My future husband will not be someone I will obey. Nor will have a need to obey me. He and I are companions to each other and helpers to each and will respect each other.
If in anyway he finds a need to try and get me to obey him he can take a flying leap off of what ever cliff he finds.

Great question. I try to submit to my husband especially in the major decisions because I believe God will hold him more accountable for them. We sit down and I tell him what I think we should do but I always end it with, "It's your decision." And God honors that. Then I pray and give it to the Lord. I believe by giving it over to my husband, as God wants us to, I am giving it over to God.

I do to some extent, but not like I should. He isn't mean to me or anything, but I have a little thing called pride, in which I'll have to work on. You can't be prideful and make it to heaven, pride will really get the best of you sometimes. (I'm just talking about myself)

Man are the head of the house hold, but women are the neck and they'll turn the head where they want it to look.
