To Submit to Her Husbands Authority
- Ephesians 5:22
- Colossians 3:18
- I Peter 3:1
- Titus 2:4
Submission is not...
...obedience like a child obeys a parent.
I Peter 3:7~ Dwell with your wife with understanding, grant her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of Jesus Christ.
The way that the husband treats the wife is how he treats himself, because they are one in the eyes of God through marriage.
Gen 2:23-24
...is not something to be feared.
A man of God has a responsibility to love his wife the way that he loves himself which includes his actions toward her.
Ephesians 5:28-29
...is not her losing her personality or uniqueness in place of her husbands.
Submission is...
...supporting your husband by accepting his leadership.
...seeking to listen to his direction concerning the family and direction for the family.
I Peter 3:6
...assisting him in carrying out the vision for the family.
...becoming his "helpmeet". Genesis 2:18
