Some men have taken the Scriptures and used them to suit themselves. That's just my opinion, but I'm stinking to it. The scripture truly tells us wives to submit ourselves to our husbands.
Eph 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
And before you ask, Yes I agree 100% with this. The only thing is that some men stop there. Some men, 'thank goodness not all' use these verses to dominate and control their wives. But let's take a look where these men stop reading.
Eph 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
And before you ask, Yes I agree 100% with this. The only thing is that some men stop there. Some men, 'thank goodness not all' use these verses to dominate and control their wives. But let's take a look where these men stop reading.
Eph 5:25

Eph 5:26

Eph 5:27
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
So Christ gave everything He had to the church. Christ didn't hold anything back from the Church, He gave His very life for it. Christ didn't set back and ask the Church to be servant to Him. He treated the Church as a precious jewel. Christ never put a burden on the Church. In fact Christ say (For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.)
I hope that one of those men will read this and maybe have a different view about how they treat their wife. I can only hope. As for me I've got a wonderful, God serving Christian man. who shows me respect. And I do submit myself to him. I know when he says something that it's for the good of the marriage and not just himself. Sometimes I may not agree with him, But I have learned that he's got a good head on his shoulders. Because most times when I have disagreed, as the events unfold, He was spot on , and I ended up so thankful that I listened to him.
So wives submit yourselves to your husbands. And husbands love your wives and treat them in a way that you know Christ wanted you to.
God bless. and remember respect goes both ways.
