I am a happily married women that is submissive to my husband as far as he takes my opinion into count before making the final decisions on things. But he loves me the way Christ loves the Church and if you are a true Christian then you know that God intended the man to be in charge. So I look at my husband as my umbrella when we make a mistake as God would see it. The umbrella that is my husband keeps me safe from being held accountable for his decisions. My marriage is wonderful as we know Jesus went out of his way to take care of the Church and my husband goes out of his way to take care of me and the family. I could not ask for a better husband and most of my friends look at him as a model for what they want in a man. It can be a good thing if you let it be, and the man is a man of God.

Not that, the Bible say wives should be submissive to their husbands, and the husbands are to love, honour their wives as Christ love the church, the man is the head of the house and Christ is the head of the Church.
Being submissive does not mean the the husband would treat the woman like a dog.

ok so the deal with women being submissive isn't to make us a doormat for men to walk all over. the verse that says that women are supposed to be submissive goes on to say that the man should love his wife like christ loved the church. if your husband is holding up his end of the deal there shouldn't be a problem. a minister that i know also pointed out that since the man is the head of the household if anything goes wrong it's the man's responsibility

It depends on the husband, but either way submission is an outdated idea that women need to work past. Marriage is a partnership. Men do not own women. It demeans the husband and the wife.

No, I don't think that. My husband is the head of our household, but that does not mean that he acts without consulting me. It only means that in an absolute standoff (which we have never had), he would get the deciding vote. Somebody has to, after all.
In fact, my husband takes Ephesians very seriously. He treats me better than any woman I know is treated at home. I am a very, very lucky wife.
God bless.

wow, these answers scare me.
why would anyone want to be submissive to anyone????
i would never expect my husband to be submissive to me, so why would i be submissive to him???
this is why woman have such a hard time advancing in this world, because so many religious people - men and woman -still think that being born one gender makes you better than the other! would you all please stop holding us back by being submissive to whoever it is? that's ridiculous.
and to answer your question, no, it doesn't necessarily mean you get treated like a dog (although alot do) it just means you're admitting that you're not equal to them, that you're beneath them.

Certainly that isn't taught by the Bible. God's plan is for the husband to the leader, and accountable. The husband is to be incredibly loving and tender to his wife, but be the decision maker. Otherwise you get into a situation of "fighting over the steering wheel" and ending up in the ditch.

No. I believe a woman ONLY has to be "submissive" if her husband holds up his end of the agreement. In the Bible, it does say that wives are to submit to their husbands. But it ALSO says that husbands are to love, honor, and respect their wives. As a matter of fact, the same passage says that husbands are supposed to love their wives, as Jesus Christ loves the church.

submissive means what it means you can't twist it. i will never be submissive to my husband we are so happy together and we treat each other equally. i have a job and so does he, we both do our share of chores and our share of raising our children. whats the point of being submissive? we make decisions on what we are more knowledgeable on. i make most decisions when it comes to our kids because i have more experience then him in that area. he makes the majority of money decisions mainly because I'm not working at the moment. (pregnant and bed bound) but we always consult each other on things and both have to agree on them.

I can't be submissive in any conception of the word, but I can honor, respect and love my husband (and I expect the same from him).
