"Wives,submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife,as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Saviour of the body.Therefore,just as the church is subject to Christ,so let wives be to their own husbands in everything."
(Ephesians 5:22,23,24).
The above quote is enough to make many "modern" women furious. Sadly,far too many self-described christian women rankle at the above quote and believe it is something that belongs to another era.Maybe that's why the divorce rate in America is well over 50%.The reality is,is that the righteous wife recognizes that submitting to her husband is not only God ordained but a reflection of Our Lord's own loving headship of His Church.
Men do not escape obligation and responsibility as it pertains to marriage as you will see in pt.2.
