Wives submit to Your Husbands

Wife have you ever wondered about submitting to your husband? Do you put him under your thumb? Well, if you’re a Christian you’ve heard of the verse Wives submit to your husband. (Ephesians 5:22) Husbands love your wives. (Ephesians 5:25) But the bible never mentioned or said anything “Husband submit to your wives”. Have you ever wonder why? Perhaps you’ve been putting your husbands under your thumb or husbands you’ve been submitting to your wives. If your relationship works well, then you’re really blessed to have each other. If you’re wondering why things doesn’t go well at home, well maybe you should start considering this. As I have mentioned the bible had never ever said that husbands submit to your wives.

Some people could not bare that truth and to “sugar quote” everything they would say other things to turn everything around. Example: “Well, yeah but it also said that husband love your wives, so it means cleaning, cooking, and baby sitting.” Let me also give you another example of a relationship between husband and wife. The husband goes to work and drop the kids to school, the wife is at home and preparing everything for supper. All the sudden the husband gets an emergency call and must pick up Jr. who’s badly wounded in school. The tragic begins by having a speeding ticket since he’s in a hurry to pick up his son. The wife is concern because why is it taking so long for her husband to come home and pick her up to go to work.

So she calls his cell phone but no one answers. (Well, that’s because she’s got his cell in her purse from last night romantic dinner.) She gets worried and started calling a thousand times yet no one answers, so she gets upset. By the time he gets home with Jr. and could even say anything or utter a word to say, she goes on… “Bla! Bla! Bla!” So he’s wondering “What did I do now?” Well, before the story gets longer, are you getting the point so far??? Well, before you go to the conclusion of the story and imagine that the wife got a shot gun and shot her husband on the head because she thinks that he’s cheating on her, let’s look at it if the wife is submissive to her husband. So the story goes on, after the wife had release her anger the husband says, “Jr.

and I are here, let me just explain it later.” And the wife replies with, “Ok dear, I’m just glad that you’re home.” Well! There you go! No questions asked and no argument, (well at least after the wife blabbing, but I guess she’s just worried.) All that the husband has to say is “let me just explain it later.” If the story had gone the other way, without a submissive wife, the husband would have just banged his head wondering what he did wrong. Have you also ever wonder why there are broken families? The father is a drunkard, and the children are… (Well you decide) Perhaps things doesn’t go well because the wife does not submit to her husband. Just like Newton’s law of gravity, no matter how much you try to fly, you’ll end up on the floor with a hurting behind.

And if things goes well, perhaps you found a really good man. (Too bad ladies it’s really rare to find)
