If you do, are their any exceptions?

Only if that's what they like in the bedroom. Otherwise, no, not at all. It's an equal partnership.

No, i dont think wives should be completely submissive to thier husbands. But when the husband is the submissive one doing the household things that is just wrong. I know that women are just as capable as men and should stand up for themselves. Of course, you need a healthy balance.

IMO, a woman should not have to "submit" to her husband. Marriage is about partnership, sharing, fairness and equality. When you decide to marry someone, they become a part of you in a way that no one else can. So much so that, at times, things that bring them pain, brings you pain as well. Having said this, then, I don't know why women would want to "submit" to their husbands as if they are below them.

I think Blondiebaptist needs a reality check...let me guess, she wears long dresses and watches little house on the prairie everyday, wishing she could be married to Mr. Ingalls. Get a grip, this is the new millenium.

Assuming you are being serious, and being a closet pighead sexist idiot....
Women should never be submissive to their husbands.
A relationship should be as close to 50/50 as possible.
If a woman wants to play submissive in the bedroom, thats fine..as long as it's understood it is what it is....roleplay.
But to have any chance at a successful relationship, it needs to be 50-50

It works for me... but I think it should be the woman's choice, not something that is forced upon her. Submission is not the same as obey... true submission cannot be given or taken by force. It has to be gifted by free will.
But on a personal note, my marriage and my "submission" in it is something I have taken from my religion, and it has worked for me.
"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
But just as I am to submit to my husband, he is to take care of me, treasure me, love me, be true to me, never hurt me and sacrifice himself (or give himself up) for me.
And I know my husband sacrifices much of himself for me. He does it everyday. He goes to work, even when he doesn't want to, so that he can make money to take care of me. He would work two jobs if he had too. I know my husband's love is so strong that he would do whatever it takes to make sure that I am safe, loved, honored, and cherished. He would even die for me if that was what was required to ensure he met his responsibilities to me- and by doing so, prove his undying love and devotion to me.
My husband has never hurt me, he has never beaten me, he has never belittled me. He values me, respects me, my mind, my feelings, my opinions.
It is just in the end, when an agreement on something can't be reached between us, I usually end up deferring (or submitting as you put it) to his decision. Or else, we would be fighting forever about it and what kind of marriage is that?
The exceptions would be if my husband tried to force me to do something wrong or hurtful... like something illegal or morally wrong, that kind of thing. I would divorce him for something like that.
:)
Best Wishes...

I don't believe that women should be submissive unless they want to be. There's no should about it. Men are not kings. Women are not at their beckon call

In our modern society, to treat a wife as anything less than an equal partner has you signing divorce papers, and handing over the car keys. I'm kidding (kind of) but honestly, don't you think they deserve it anyway?
