Christian women, do you believe that as a woman you should submit to your husband and what does that mean ?

Question

I know about the rest of the verse and mans obligation, I just would like to hear your side and what you believe.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes...that's Where all the blessings lie!
However, I always give my input, but let's face it, sometimes, SOMEONE has to make the final decision, and God says it up to the HUSBAND to be the head of the house, and wives are to submit....it's a wonderful, peaceful life!

Answer 2

To a certain extent. I believe that men have the resposibility to provide for the household. Not that the woman shouldn't work, but her income does not need to be as substantial as his. But, if it is that's okay too.

I think you should try to give him what he wants. Espeacially sexually.. It's wrong to hold sex over a man's head. They get pains if they don't release every so often. Not to mention if you deprive them sexually it could lead to cheating.

Women should try to do most of the child care and housework but the man should help, significantly. Women should look after the men. When you get married you do become his mother, whether he likes it or not.

Marriage is an equal partnership but, you need to let the men at least THINK they're in charge. Its a pride thing,

Answer 3

females are literally not informed to obey their husband, they are informed to enable their husband positioned them first in all circumstances and have self assurance them to. A spouse is an major different, not an inferior. females are only requested to positioned as a lot because the husband self-sacrificing habit. even as a husband is an impressive husband a spouse evidently trusts her husband. The bible describes submission as a range of have self assurance. If her husband isn't an impressive husband than no way could a lady ever have self assurance him a lot less obey him. A husbands duty is his spouse's happiness. If a husband is unable to finish fill it than the spouse isn't obliged to finish fill her area. The spouse's submission (this suggests have self assurance remember) is a organic reaction to her husbands habit. A husband isn't a chairman, and the bible not in any respect describes him like that. The note used to describe someone in authority(a chairman, king, etc) is not in any respect used even as speaking about a husband-spouse relationship. an extremely diverse note is used and it has not some thing to do with authority. Marriage is an equivalent partnership. I take heed to my spouse to boot because I have self assurance her.

Answer 4

Yes I do believe that Christian women should submit to thier husbands. That does not mean that she is his slave. It means that she respects him and when he makes a decision she will support it. Diamond Doll has a good answer.

People need to remember this:
Epehsians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Answer 5

Yes.
I not only believe its right, but I do it.
That is not a leadway for a man to run over his wife. I have a strong will, and I'm opinionated, but I'm submissive. He is the head of the household. and we women (weather you want to admitt it or not) are the weaker vessel in allot of ways, but we are stronger in some ways too, so we are equal. I heard a preacher put it like this once. he said "God did not creat the women out of the mand head bones to put the woman above the man, nor did he make the woman out of the bones of his feet to put the women below the man, but he made her from his rib to put her by his side" As long as my husband is following God I will follow him!!!

Answer 6

Yes I believe that only if this man has the thought of pleasing Hid father in heaven..If He lives in sin then why would I listen to him in certain things when his mind jutisfies things unholy..I had time to sit back and reread this and I wanted to had that this applies to men who love Jesus..In the word Jesus says to love your wife as I love the church,,meaning if this man truly loves the Lord He will do everything to make sure his family is taking care of...Now these times there are not to many men out there that have the mind like Christ..

Answer 7

Yes.

God commands wives to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord, and for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. This command is there for a reason. It is not about equality, or inequality. God created men and women differently. He created men to need respect and women to need love. (Of course both love and respect should be given and received by both).

Men and women should be equal, but God didn't intend for them to be the same. He did design roles and an order. Women should lovingly respect their husbands and submit to them, while men should love their wives and care for them as Christ did the church, to the point that He was willing to die for her. When the husband and wife are both obeying this, there is balance and it is awesome. But when either one or both don't obey it, that's when problems arise.

Also it should be noted that the man is to follow and obey God first. So if the man is obeying God, then he is also treating the woman the way God wants her to be treated. (Which is better by far than a man can do on his own without God). Likewise, by submitting to her husband (even if he is wrong) a woman is obeying God. In other words, women if you are submitting to your husband, you are honoring and pleasing God, and your husband. So it's a win/win situation.

Answer 8

To submit doesn't mean you are his slave it means that you honor him with respect that he is the head of the home! That doesn't mean he is allowed to abuse you and he has to take care of you and to keep in mind the person you are. His responsibility in it it a lot more than the woman's part, he is her protector, provider, etc. You become one when married or committed to one another so he has to treat her as he would himself. But he should be the speaker for the family. This doesn't fit every situation and it may be reversed. Its just to show that every family works better with a head, a speaker for that family.

I practice this in my home and it works out perfectly. I work and take care of two children. My boyfriend works, helps me and cares for us. He gets to be in charge, but he asks for my input on everything and most of the time we agree when we don't we compromise.

It is the same in many cultures NOT just christian homes.

Answer 9

Yes definately submit to him. He is the head of the house. And he should be the spiritual leader of the home. He should love the wife as much as Christ loves the church- and the wife is suppose to submit to her husband- while both need to respect eachother.

Ephesians 5:24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Colossians 3:18
[ Rules for Christian Households ] Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.


-That means we as women should not be domineering- as many women are today. Many women want to take control of their house and wear the pants- when it is the man who is suppose to do that. When you think about it- the man actually has the harder job- I mean to love US so much he would give his life for us? I think a good marriage is a man who is a good spiritual leader in the home- who is godly- and a wife who is submissive without being contentious. --It's hard for women to not nag their husbands but we need to be in constant prayer over that. And to pray that our husbands will seek the Lord in every matter....as we are submitting ourselves to them. When we submit ourselves to our husbands, we are submitting ourselves to God.

Answer 10

Yes.

Its not the rest of the verse that tells men what to do, it is the FIRST of the lesson. Mans obligation, to love his wife like Christ loved the church, so much for he would die for her, is taught first, then the women are asked to be submissive.

So, if I met a man (wich I did), who loved me, honored me and cherished me (as Christ did the church), SO MUCH SO, he would die for me, putting my needs above his own (wich my hubby does), then I would be willing to submit to him, to follow him in whatever he says,(and I do) as I can be certain, that HE is doing his part, and all his desicions will benifit me, not harm me, (wich it does).

THAT is the true meaning of the verses. And you would be hard pressed to find a woman, who has met a man like Christ describes, who would not honor and obey him.

Answer 11

Yes, the Bible says that the wife must be in submission to her husband, which means that she recognizes him as the head of the family, and she loves, honors, and respects him as such, and doesn't try to overstep his headship. A true Christian woman would adhere to that Bible counsel. This doesn't mean that the wife has no say in anything, as some mistake that to mean.
