Actually if you are speaking about how the Bible says a woman must submit to a man than after your husbands death you should marry your husband's brother. Of course, that was written thousands of years ago when it was necessary for a woman to be married or live with a man who could take care of her. Today its not necessary for this to be because society says that a woman and a man are equal and therefore a woman can work. So to answer your question, no after your husbands death you do not have to submit to anyone. Somethings in the Bible were written as a guide to live by for societal reasons, but society has changed over the years.

Ummm come back when you understand the higher concepts of male/female.
All of these answers s devoid of the foundational concepts of the the divine pattern, the male/female concept which the verses directly were taken out of the biblically scriptures but indirectly the concept is still there. Submitting to ones husband has nothing to do with being lower than your man, that is pure bs of people though do not know the differences between male/female. It actually has to do with energy and submitting to your husbands energy field/force, which is not to be seen as lower but to take in his energy and reflect it back to him at a higher vibration. Men are active woman are reflective, a woman is to become an active/reflective force. There is much more to this, much more but this is the basis. That whole thing speaks of energy and if you don't understand the difference between male/females with respect to their energy interactions with each other and the world, then it would be better to not say anything.
That people don't understand this simple thing is because the scriptures are corrupted. Equal does not mean the same.

First, women don't have to submit to men; we are equals. If you're referring to the Bible passage that says, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord," that's referring to husbands, not men in general. So I'd still say no about submitting to your son. And the Web site listed below explains the passage pretty well (if that's the perspective you're coming from), and says that "The emphasis is on responsibility and accountability, not on authority and power." So even if you're "submitting" to your husband in this biblical sense, it should be in a sense of his taking loving responsibility for you, not having power over you.

Not in Christianity. Not in the U.S. Submit to no man. If you are a Muslim women, I feel sorry for you. We do not do that here in the U.S. And some Christians think that a woman has to do that when they have a husband, but only a small number. Most of us do not believe or practice such things. A women is a person and has the rights of any man. In the U.S. our rights are protected by law. A child here is expected to respect his parent and help her if she is a widow. But she does not submit to him. He helps her as he is able. She does whatever she wants.

>>If women has to submit to men, do i have to submit to my son after husband die?<<
The Bible doesn't say that. Both women and men are to submit to God (James 4:7) and leaders (Hebrews 13:17). Wives are to be subject to their husbands, and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church, laying down their life for her (Ephesians 5:22-25).

I'm not sure what you are asking, as a christian I believe if you read the the bible Colossians 3:18-24. I read this as we need to act humbly towards each other lovingly (wives submit(love) to husbands, Husbands love(submit) to wives) It is the Lord Jesus Christ you are serving. Submitting should not be taken just as sex as some people seem to think.

The norm is for a woman to submit to her husband. Even in this, however, the woman is not a slave. She is submitting to the one who loves her and adores her and places her above all things except God. Essentially, you are submitting spiritually to the person that you trusted and loved enough to marry. Unfortunately Christian norms do not always apply. They have exceptions built into them. For example a woman who has a non-believing spouse who obstructs her practice of the faith is told by St. Paul to leave her husband. This is hardly submission. Thus the faith itself is more important than the norm of submission. Based upon this principle, a woman must sometimes assume the role of spiritual head of the household. She must assume the role because the husband is either absent, or incapable or unwilling. You do not have to accept your Son as the spiritual head of the household. First, you are not married to him. Second, it is unlikely that he will be able to fulfill the role as well as you. Third, it would not be healthy for him to do so. It will be his role to offer spiritual leadership in a different household, namely with his wife and children.

No you don't have to submitt to your son! Submitting to your husband means to keep him as head of the household the family consider him as the leader, geez I hope so! Or what kind of woozie is he! This is why a woman needs to choose a man she respects and honors! Not someone she has to do his thinking for him! Would you choose your Commanding officer to be an illiterate coward? Think of that when considering the father of your children and person you can rely on to make good decisions!But after he's gone your on your own toots!.

This depends on what culture you come from. In many cultures in the past, and some in the present, once a male child is of the age of majority (considered a man) if the father is dead, the mother does indeed obey the son.
That is not the tradition in America, here children are always supposed to show some sort of deference to their parents, no matter what the age.
Really, unless your culture specifically dictates your behavior, do whatever works. If your son is much smarter and wiser than you...which is unlikely, you should defer to him, otherwise, he should defer to you.
We are no longer a purely male-dominant society, and one does not need a man to conduct the business of the household.

Submit to God and then you will understand submission. Submission is spiritually understood. I submit to my husband as I would submit to the Lord. If my husband or anyone wants me to submit to something God would not approve I don't submit. I think the verse you are referring to says, "submit to one another in Christ."
I can count "others as better than myself, " the bible says, that is be humble and see Christ in them and talk to them as I would talk to Christ.
but this is a spiritual submission. It never means that I am to do something that is against my conscience or that makes me uncomfortable. I pray through a situation like this until I know what God wants me to do.
