And be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Ephesians 5:21-22
Many a husband and wife have started fighting over these verses. The husband reads it and says, "Whoopie. I'm the boss". The wife reads it and proclaims that she will not be a "doormat" to be walked over. Guess which one is right? Well, they are both wrong. They failed to read verse 21 which proclaims that although we have different roles in this world, we are all subject to one another. I Peter 3, again proclaims that wives be submissive to their husbands, but don't miss verse 7, that says that husbands should do likewise. When we decide to be truly submissive to everyone, submission to each other will never be a problem. Let's submit to God, His Word, and the rest will be easy.
