Besides (other than) Ephesians where else in the bible does it talk of the man being head of the house?

Question

and women being submissive

Answer 1

1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives-- 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing-- 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

Answer 2

Just about everywhere I'm sure since men are listed by their names 99% of the time in the Bible and especially in the genealogies through out it, look at Jesus' for example in Matt. and Luke and Noah's sons in Genesis 10 and 11. Besides the women aren't the patriarchs which should tell you who was and is the head of the house. Women were not named cause they were like property and had no value unless they produced sons for their husbands. Look at any story in the bible, especially th Old Testament, and see if you can find even one woman in the story much less named in it. Look around the world today because there are plenty of places where women still live being unnamed and without value. As for women look at Ruth and Esther who were both submissive wives and good examples of such. And just remember that both husbands and wives are to be submissive to God first before they can be submissive to their spouses because doing so makes you learn how to be submissive to your husband or your wife and learning how to submit to God helps your marriage. That doesn't mean be abusive to your spouse emotionally or physically just because they won't be good little submissive wives or to take over your husband's job as the head of the family just because he won't even though he's quite more than able to be or had bad role models who were lazy at being the head of the house or worse none to show them how to be one.

Answer 3

Esther 1:10-22

10 On the seventh day, when King Xerxes was in high spirits from wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Karkas— 11 to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at. 12 But when the attendants delivered the king's command, Queen Vashti refused to come. Then the king became furious and burned with anger.

13 Since it was customary for the king to consult experts in matters of law and justice, he spoke with the wise men who understood the times 14 and were closest to the king—Karshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memukan, the seven nobles of Persia and Media who had special access to the king and were highest in the kingdom.

15 "According to law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?" he asked. "She has not obeyed the command of King Xerxes that the eunuchs have taken to her."

16 Then Memukan replied in the presence of the king and the nobles, "Queen Vashti has done wrong, not only against the king but also against all the nobles and the peoples of all the provinces of King Xerxes. 17 For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will despise their husbands and say, 'King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she would not come.' 18 This very day the Persian and Median women of the nobility who have heard about the queen's conduct will respond to all the king's nobles in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect and discord.

19 "Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. 20 Then when the king's edict is proclaimed throughout all his vast realm, all the women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest."

21 The king and his nobles were pleased with this advice, so the king did as Memukan proposed. 22 He sent dispatches to all parts of the kingdom, to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, proclaiming that every man should be ruler over his own household, using his native tongue.

Type in the search box: husband, or head of household, wives, marriage, husbands love your wives as you love yourselves, etc.

Men are not to take the scriptures out of context to LORD their manship over women. They are to be the heads of households, the good provider, the loving husband, the family headship --- in a loving way that is pleasing to Jehovah God. Otherwise it just doesn't work. Don't get hyped up about being in the head over a woman. Do it the right way or you will fail miserably.

Here is one scripture from Colossians to help you get started:

“You wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as it is becoming in the Lord. You husbands, keep on loving your wives and do not be bitterly angry with them. You children, be obedient to your parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. You fathers, do not be exasperating your children, so that they do not become downhearted.”—Colossians 3:18-21.

Answer 5

I can only hope that what you're up to- is not some plan to come up to the most loved female in your life to insist to her that "Based on this and this and this --- you have to obey me!??"

I was once silly enough to try that myself. All whom I've ever heard of trying this- have gotten the same result...

Less respect and cooperation than they've ever gotten before. Grace is what you want to extend to people if you want to get a good result. Love, mercy, patience and grace.
Demanding obedience is called legalism.

Legalism will get you rebellion --every time.

It wasn't what you asked for- but may in fact prove more valuable.

Answer 6

Genesis, Corinthians, I think Colossians too, but I am not sure. So many people misinterpret this. The Bible tells a woman to submit to her husband as he submits to GOD. So as you respect and submit to the Lord, the wife submits to you in the same fashion. If you are not submissive to God, she will submit to the Lord. Also, the Bible tells a man to cherish his wife. You are suppose to submit to your wife and your wife submit to you. A man is also suppose to be working the fields for food.

Answer 7

it truly is a large pity you have in straight forward terms chosen the verses that assist you question. evaluate those – a million Corinthians 7:3 MKJV permit the husband provide to the spouse suited kindness, and additionally the spouse additionally to the husband. Ephesians 5:25-27 MKJV 25 Husbands, love your different halves, whilst Christ additionally enjoyed the church and gave Himself for it, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the bathing of water by skill of the be conscious, 27 that He might latest it to Himself simply by fact the mind-blowing church, without spot or wrinkle or certainly one of these issues, yet that it is going to be holy and without blemish. Colossians 3:19 MKJV Husbands, love your different halves, and don't be bitter against them. a million Peter 3:7-8 MKJV 7 Likewise, husbands, stay mutually in accordance to expertise, giving honor to the spouse as to the weaker vessel, the female, as somewhat being co-heirs mutually of the grace of existence, no longer slicing off your prayers. 8 and ultimately, all be of one strategies, having compassion on one yet another, loving the brothers, tenderhearted, friendly. (be conscious – verse 7 does not say the spouse “IS the weaker vessel” in straight forward terms that “she might desire to be taken care of as though she is the weaker vessel”) the dating between guy and woman or husband and spouse might desire to be, loving, worrying and considerate. The verse you quote then fall into place.

Answer 8

1 Corinthians

Answer 9

1 Cor. 11:3 - 7 and Deut. 24.

Answer 10

First, your statement is misleading. Even in Eph., women are told to respect their husband and his leadership. That does not mean that she is his slave and does whatever he says. She is also to give him counsel and he is to listen to that counsel when decisions must be made. "Submit" does not mean become less that human.

Second, look in the Pentateuch, that's where the Jewish tradition started.
