Shouldn't women be shamefaced and submissive to their husbands with a quiet heart? If not, what are the exceptions where they do not have to obey?

No. Men and women are different, yet equal. There is no reason for one to be more in charge of their life together than the other. The beauty of a marriage is 2 people working together to create a life for themselves and their family - not a man living his life and wife and family there to make him happy.
Peace!

LOL, UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
That sounds more like slavery than a marriage.
A marriage is a partnership amongst equals.
On the flip side, why cant men be submissive towards their wives? obey them follow them w/ a quiet heart. If one has it why cant the other?
point is by this you are suggesting that men are inherently superior to women in every respect, thus requiring women to submit to "his" better judgment. UTTER RUBBISH as my British friends would say. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY A WOMEN SHOULD "OBEY" OR "BE SUBMISSIVE TO THEIR HUSBANDS.
BTW. If you actually intended this to be a serious question, you need to crawl out of that rock and begin living in the 21st century

People sometimes take certain verses from the Bible and use them to their advantage. The Bible does say that women are to obey their husbands but you must read the verses before and after that verse. Men are also suppose to love their wives as Christ loved the Church.We all know what He did for the Church,He died for the church. That means that a man is to love his wife so much that his happiness,well-being,and life should come second to hers. Christ would not tell the church to do anything that was wrong.He would not abuse the church.He would and did die for it.May God Bless

Male and female represent active and passive/reflect forces. This is why it is given that the female must be submissive to her husband, not to say that he tells her what to do as commonly misinterpreted but she submits to her husbands energy. The female is suppose to take her husbands energy and raise it up into something greater, making her husband greater than what he once was and in turn making herself great as well since she reflects his energy. Male and female are equal yet not the same. What the male is dominant at the female is inferior at and what the female is dominant at the male is inferior at.
The male is polarized positive in the lower(reproduction area) and negative in the breast area and the female is polarized positive in the breast area and negative in the reproduction area. I'll say again that the female is suppose to be dominated by her husbands energy not be told what to do.
I forgot to add, the example of this in the works is how a male can't make a child without a female and vice versa. She takes his energy(semen) and raises it up and transform it into something greater. This law is even present in the male/female orgasm. Males become exhausted because they let out energy, females can keep going because they do not let out energy but only can take it in.
Peace

Kind of. Women are to submit to their husbands (not all men, nor random men, but their HUSBANDS), and their husbands are to love them AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH. Some exceptions to that for me would be if the husband blatantly disregards God's Word, cheats, or is abusive (there's a huge difference between leadership and abuse). Marriage is not a slave/master relationship, it's a partnership, with women and men assigned to different, but equally important roles. I don't believe that God intended women to obey men who hurt them, make them weaker in faith, or are adulterous. AT ALL.

I think you need to ask this question another way.
The way you ask this is should the wife have no rights at all? should she Just be like the stepford wife? NO and what the heck do you mean by shamedfaced? is this the way you treat someone you love? if it is. Good luck.
A wife should be respected and Loved. in return the wife should Love and respect her Husband. that way they both have what they need. and no one has to be shamedface into loving someone.

Seeing as how I am almost certain that this question was intended to anger every woman who reads it, I am not going to get angry. I'm just going to say that maybe you should sit down and have a talk with my husband. He'll tell you a thing or two about getting a woman to "obey". Not gonna happen honey!

They shoould not obey if the instruction:
- Harms them or Hurts them in any way
- if the instruction was meant to degrade them or abuse them
- is made out of Malicious intent
- dishonours them in any way
- if it is not their will to do so ( free will supercedes all, isnt it ever human being's divine right?)

women should always be submissive to their husband cause the bible says so. If a bond is broken through unfaithfulness then a woman do not have to obey and separation then can be accounted for.

Weeeelllll.... yeah.... but that's assuming that the husband isn't a complete dolt to begin with...
Y'see, first of a marriage -- a true marriage -- is two becoming one. So for then to say that "one" has dominance over "the other" is an indication that it isn't a marriage.
