Last night our Ladies Bible Study got into a good discussion on submission in marriage. Would like to hear some definitions of EXACTLY what you think biblical submission is! Anybody willing to share their definition?
Ephesians 5:22-24, "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands."
Looks to me like we're supposed to submit to our husbands like the church does to Christ - in everything!
