Bachmann also had a decision to make about the direction of her career. In fact, York referred to Bachmann’s statement that she didn’t want to pursue a degree in tax law, though ultimately deferred to her husband’s judgment on the issue. She rightly heeded her husband’s advice and counsel on the direction of her life. This doesn’t make her a passive non-entity who, if elected, would be the “Wife-In-Chief” instead of the commander-in-chief. There’s nothing in the Bible that says she must defer to her husband’s judgment in how she does her job. Moreover, she would have a legal, occupational, and — yes — Biblical responsibility to perform that task. In other words, when you hire a Christian woman, you aren’t really hiring her husband. Similarly, when you vote for a Christian candidate, you aren’t actually voting for her husband.

The concept of submission is a bit more nuanced than our feminist sisters understand.

Exactly true. I grew up with 4 sisters, a mother, step mother and full set of grandmothers and great grandmothers. Respect for women was instilled in me every day of my life. That said, I've also learned that in a relationship setting, most women like a man to take charge in some situations. The trick is in learning where she wants to sit back and let me take control and where she needs to stand on her own.

Submission does not mean unequal in this sense.

So many pagans misunderstand this and think a wife promises to be submissive to ALL men.

MAY THIS NEVER BE!

Backman could have replied, “The Bible teaches a wife to be submissive to her husband. You are not he.”

Isaiah 3:12 “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.”

There is a reason that you want a man in charge. Good example is Angela Merkle the German PM who everytime she meets with the French President Nicolas Sarkozy get owned by him. She goes in saying one thing and comes out saying whatever Sarkozy wants. But I suppose you’ll just have to learn the hard way.

Which is why, even though I’m a Palin supporter, that question ticked me off.
