If a woman is a Christian and wants to emulate Biblical teaching, I'd say the answer is unequivocally, "Yes"! When Eve was told what her curse was to be, in addition to an increase of pain in childbirth, God said that her desire would be toward her husband. Many have said that they believed this statement means *sexual* desire. However,the only other use of this particular Hebrew word in the Old Testament was when God told Cain that Satan desired to have him! In other words, the use of this term, which is translated into "desire" in English, implied the concept of ruling over, or dominating, him! When a woman becomes a Christian, I believe that she is set free from this part of the curse!
Just as a wife is supposed to respect her husband and be submissive to him; the husband is commanded to love his wife with the same type of love with which Christ loved His bride, the church, in that He laid down His life for her!
The primary time when a married woman should *not* be submissive to her husband is when her husband demands or requires her to do something in clear opposition to Biblical teachings, such as helping him in the commission of a crime or engaging in an immoral act!

things have changed. some men take advantage of the women that bows down to him. some men take it as a weeknest and misuse that right making the woman WANT to be a more dependant woman as soon as she gets her divorce or leaves the man she is with. And nowadays it takes two to maintain a housewhole. Back in the BC times there were no beauty shops. And who wants to wait for a man to give her money to go or listen to him complain that its not needed. Its seems nowadays the more we do at home the less they do.

No, it used to work in the 50's with the typical nuclear family, but too many women go out to work now so it's not always the man who's the main breadwinner. I do agree that people knew where they stood in the 50's and there was much more security within relationships, but times keep changing through necessity so I guess attitudes have to change allong with it. It still doesn't mean you can't be completely loving and supportive to your man though.

Well for your information, little girl, women are usually smarter than men when it comes to family matters. A man must love his wife AS Christ loves the church (not the organization, the people). When a husband loves his wife to that degree, she has no problem with him being the head of the house.
I'm well qualified to speak on the subject... I'm a husband, a father, and a grandfather. Husbands must earn the right to be the head. When you get married, you'll understand the answer to your question.

I'm 47, been married for 25 years.
If the man is not willing to take responsibility, and will not get off his kiester to get things done, the woman has to take control.
These days, men are not reared to manage things or to run their own households. Most have a nasty passive-aggressive streak and will literally do stupid stuff for no reason.
When one person has to take responsibility for the actions of two people, it is a tremendous burden.

What cave did you just crawl out of? No, women don't need to be submissive. A man who wants a submissive woman doesn't want a partner; he wants a doormat or a slave. Good luck with that one. Partners are just that--neither side gets to be the head.

what's taking place is: that's no longer a actual place of worship. Do you think of God is pleased with persons who call this worship? Do you think of the spirit that leads them to wish to a statue and a lifeless individual is the spirit of the living God? It grow to be evil to call that 'church'. BLEECH! the actual danger of enjoying chess is this is protection rigidity nature, the equivalent of the maneuvers enacted via little boys with toy squaddies. unsleeping !, 3/22/seventy 3, pp.12-14.

Nooooo! wife does n't need to be submissive to their husband, it is a team work,for housechores and paying bills. If he is the only one who brings the bacon, he is the head of paying bills and I am the head of the housechores and taking care of children. I dont agree that a woman be submissive to their husband, a woman can be submissive to their bosses when it comes to work.

No. I feel that a marriage is entered into jointly and all responsibilities should be shared. It's worked that way for my husband and me for the past 10 years. The way of life you have shared with us (though there is nothing wrong with it) died out about 3 decades ago.

No, I do not agree. I think it should be an equal partnership. That may have been the case years ago but not anymore. My husband and I both work, yes he is the bread winner of the family but we discuss everything before making a move.
