Surfing the Bible

[Here Am I]

When I questioned that 'submit' reference, I was gently shown this Scripture:

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16)

We desire to please our husbands, and are ruled by them.

The old woman doesn't like it at all, but the new creature doesn't find it onerous to submit...

...at least not often... :biggrin:

LOL.

Oh for sure, wives do have the greater responsibility to submit, which I didn't explain clearly in my post (William clarified my thoughts in his post), but there are definite times that the husband is to hearken to his wife as well - when God tells him to.
