Submit

Another scripture where men only read the first line or two. Wife submit to your husband... But what does submit mean? I believe it means to listen to, to have open communications with. It does not mean as a slave does to a master. So submit to Christ, but not as a slave, but as His bond servant because together we are one with Him. Then, if the man should read it, Paul goes on to explain that men are to love their wives as Christ loves us, the church. To love their wives as their own bodies. And that he who loves his wife loves himself. And the wife must respect her husband. Marriage is about the two becoming one and this does not just happen. It takes love, yes, but also communications and a love of Christ as the center of it all. Ephesians 5:22-33. ~ DickEvans.org
