I know that God has instructed that women obey their husbands, but should we be submissive and respectful to all men also? Is it sinful for a woman to appear arrogant and proud to a male?

You're trying to wind us up with your two questions, the other about your husband's curfew aren't you! You certainly got plenty of answers

Kim, you sound very religious.. and it may be that your religion tells you that you should obey your man.
Respect runs in both directions.. not only should you respect him but he should equally respect you.
Women are NOT the property of men.. today all women should be treated as equals.
Just because you don't agree with what your husband expects you to do and you voice your opinion, doesn't mean to say that you are being arrogant. You are just as entitled to chose how you want to be as he is.
Marriage should be a compromise.. not a prison sentence.
Be your own person.

My girlfriend doesn't listen to a word I say....off the point a little though. If you really did want to obey your husband it would be impossible to obey other men as if another man wanted to have sex with you there would be a conflict of interest. Also if you obeyed every man you would probably end up dating and sleeping with half the population and having no husband anyway. I find that it's impossible to obey my girlfriend as if I did I would be very unhappy and have no friends as I would always partake in her hobbies instead of mine. If you want to be unhappy and constantly trying to please men (trust me we will never be pleased anyway) then give it a shot. I think your life will end up very messed up though. Respect people, don't think that you have to obey them.

I've been married over 30 years, and I can't remember exact words of the ceremony, but I'm sure they included, obey, only when you want to, be submissive, when it's kinky and fun. Respect yourself before all others, except God. Arrogance is not nice, but Pride is an earned privilege, and oh yes don't forget, husbands must always listen to their wives, not necessarily agree, but be willing to take attention rated tests at any given moment, and love it.

women promise to obey their husband in marriage but nobody else, al slong as you obey the law. Personally, this is why i wouldn't get married but if you've already done it, bad luck. the flipside is , i suppose, is that he should obey you too. Marriage is not about having a Master & slave, it's about mutual love and respect. If your husband is not respecting you there is always divorce.

First i do no longer think of ladies could desire to be "supervised" by skill of a male. Secondly obey is a sturdy term. people who ascribe to the christian faith are attentive to the verse interior the bible that asserts wifes are to Obey their husbands, subject is they end reading there. in the event that they have been to study on it additionally states that husbands are to love their different halves as christ loves the church. In a sturdy relationship they husband and spouse will agree on a majority of issues, then there are some issues wherein the spouse could desire to defer to the husband, and issues the husband could desire to defer to the spouse. each and each has there very own skills to deal with diverse situations. i've got self assurance that for the time of a case the place they are able to't come to a consenses, and a determination could desire to be made, then the husband is meant to be the ruler of the living house and his decision could desire to be accompanied. Noting that there could desire to be an somewhat constrained style of situations whilst this can be the case.

HELL NO!! Not only that, "obeying" to ANY man is flatout ridiculous.
Sinful to be arrogant or proud to a male? That's just as crazy!! There's a lot more going on in the world than men only.
ANyway men like a woman like this as opposed to being mousey-like, bowing down to his every need, w/silly red blushy smiles. A man likes a woman to just be herself. and vs.

God says to obey him, to be submissive to your husband and to love thy brothers and sisters. I don't think a woman has to be submissive to all men, just her husband. At the same time that doesn't mean she had to be mean, arrogant or disrespectful to other men.

Obey hubby only. And even at that, only obey him if it is reasonable and healthy. Not a slave and master relationship.
Other males don't matter. We're not men's slaves.

Women shouldn't have to obey any men, period. You're not property, you're a person. Ideas like this are what keep people in the dark ages, have men selling their daughters into prostitution and start wars.
