It has been said in the Bible, "Husband love your wife, wife submit to your husband"?

Question

Do you think people are still practicing this saying in the Bible nowadays?

Answer 1

I don't believe those are the exact words.

Answer 2

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

Answer 3

Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.

Yes absolutely.
The problem is that sometimes the Husband will pick out the parts of the verses he likes and only do those like. Wives submit to your husbands. If we follow this correctly I will put my wife's needs and even wants above my own. That is true love. Not a bad deal for both sides. I can't see a marriage working without this in place.
Shalom.

Answer 4

This is a WIDELY debated topic; and confusion is entered into it for NO reason. (except be it for naivety to the will of GOD in Christ Jesus)

Breaking it down:

Husband's command: LOVE your wife.
Wive's command: SUBMIT to your husband.

This one can be difficult and impossible even, if say, the husband is an unbeliever. So, in doing what the LORD says, the wife is then subject to following a blind spiritual leader :*( {As it its written all over the bible: The man is to be the spiritual leader of the home; the "HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD" that we married couples usually file on our taxes....is the same spiritually!). That is why the LORD ADMONISHES US DEEPLY TO NOT BE "Unequally yoked with unbelievers" a,k,a....do not wed some one who knows not Christ Jesus as LORD!

GOD is perfect in ALL HIS WAYS, and thus~we can essentially call HIM the most QUALIFIED marriage counsellor around. HE likens the marriage to MANY THINGS.....ie (The Marriage Supper of the Lamb; the Body of Christ, etc....) When a REAL Christian couple submit BOTH selves to the LORD and His plan for the marital operation; then what proceeds from such is a HAPPY marriage, one of mutual love and respect, one of PLACING
THE OTHER SPOUSE BEFORE ONES' SELF).
IT IS STILL PRACTICED TODAY AND THE WORDING MAY BE THE CAUSE FOR MUCH DEBATE.....
A) TRY to look at a few things here alongside me, and
I will show you some cool things that I have since
learned!
QUESTION: "WHAT" exactly do most ppl think a man, a MAN! desires most out of a marital union? Say, :"IF" he had to choose?

ANSWER: WITHOUT A DOUBT....MEN thru-out history will always say "RESPECT ( the meaning in the submission )" more often than "LOVE." In a real, CHRIST-centered marriage, the man is metaphorically the "Head of Household" just as he is when we file our taxes. The man is given the outstanding responsibility to likewise BE the spiritual leader of HIS HOME. This was never intended to be a "Battle of the Sexes": by GOD. ALL it simply means is that MEN are inherently different from women in ALL ways....those ways that matter most are :emotionally, physically, and mentally......A man will not; when he has been hurt in any fashion as stated above....CRY! When a man is hurting in any form- he is hurting mainly because HIS EGO HAS BEEN BRUISED OR NEGLECTED. THIS, once again; is why us wives are admonished more so to "RESPECT and SUBMIT" to our husbands leadership in the home. The husband, if he is not keeping up "his end of the deal" in the marital union- will only have to answer to GOD alone. The LORD cannot and will NOT correct or show the man what he is doing is wrong, as it be so long as we; the wives....are constantly nagging and COMPLAINING about everything our husbands are doing wrong. LET GOD SET THE MAN STR8 or ladies; keep pissing in the wind (so-to-speak).

MOVING ON NOW TO THE WOMEN:

QUESTION: Ladies, would you rather feel LOVED or RESPECTED by your hubby's IF YOU ONLY COULD CHOOSE ONE! *NOTE: Respect does not automatically carry with it a spirit of loving-kindness!?

ANSWER: MOST women need, inherently :NEED: to feel as though their husbands love them above all other earthly matters. We are made that way, and such is the same with men and their need to have regular boosts to their ego
(once again, so-to-speak!).


THE FINAL ANSWER TO UR Q! is "YES!".....those who submit themselves to CHRIST, know that the LORD has a plan for each of our marriages; as HE created the very institution of marriage.

This is not a bad thing; and most certainly is not as "barbaric" as a lot of ppl like to make it out to be. Things work out quite well when they are done GOD's way! :)

GOD BLESS YOU,

Answer 5

Yes.
For a marriage to work, there has to be compromise. For compromise to work, someone has to submit. I think both sides (husband and wife) should submit equally. If one side holds all the power, it may result in a form of slavery. Also if a person wants someone to do exactly what he/she says, maybe he/she should think about getting a well trained dog.

Answer 6

That's not the only thing that has been said. It has also been said that if there is a crowd outside your door wanting to sodomize your guest instead of offering the guest to the crowd you offer your daughter and wife. How about that?? Lot did it twice second time around the lady was gang raped to death. These are good morals to follow. and the good book is full of them.

Answer 7

This is God's plan for marriage to work. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Wives are to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord. It is God's idea that wives submit to their husbands in response to their husbands' love for them. We are talking about God's agape love here. To do this couples need to be grounded and rooted in God's love. For couples who follow this plan their marriage will certainly prosper and be blessed.

Answer 8

I do and it's been working thirty plus years. I wish you had included the rest though for the husbands duties to the wife.

Answer 9

Not normally. Remember the bible was written by political leaders (therefore men) to keep the masses under control and to stop them thinking for themselves.

Answer 10

My husband and I strive for it. I think he has the harder part -- loving me as Christ loved the Church and giving himself up. (Ephesians 5:25)

Answer 11

Yes, I do. My husband is the head of household and I listen to him. We are both born again Christians. My husband is cool though and doesn't boss me around.
