It amazes and amuses me that so many unreligious nitwits get their knickers in a knot over Bachmann’s comments, and over Perry’s prayers at Revival.

Yet they don’t concern themselves with Obama’s Ramadan dinner, or his black liberation theology as it destroys the moral and social fabric of our nation.

The idiot feminists hate this word. Submitting to the authority of your husband, to me, means I respect his advice, his hard work, his determination to keep us safe and happy. It does not mean I bow down and allow him to beat me. I am happy to have him lead our family, and he is man enough to delegate a lot of that authority to me.

Well said. It took me years to understand what ‘submissive’ meant. Although we did not have a Christian marriage until the past few years, we instinctively knew that we each had roles and that the marriage was bigger then the both of us. We’ll have 31 years in December.

I think what a lot of people don’t get is - “roles” are more about ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’. Men and women are different. And thank God for that!!! Women need love, men need respect. That’s how we’re wired. It’s really amazing how God made it work. Women are to respect the men - something that’s not real natural to our natures. Men are to love their wives - something not natural to theirs. Yet, when practiced, it works in great harmony.

We got to spend some time with our son-in-law this weekend and he was talking about how our daughter recognizes him as the head of the household and that it is both honoring and a burden at the same time. He takes being a husband very seriously. We are so pleased that they understand the basics of marriage. We think they’ll do fine......now if they’ll just give us GRANDKIDS!!! (no pressure, kids)

In those 18 years, I can count on one hand the number of times my husband said no - that I didn't get exactly what I wanted, or do exactly what I wanted, just by mentioning that I wanted it.

Wow, with a husband like that, submitting to the authority of one's husband becomes practically a moot point, doesn't it?

What about women who aren't blessed with such wonderful husbands? Are they released from the command to submit?

If you think all Christian wives are submissive because they are pleasant, you obviously haven’t spent any time in a Southern Baptist home. Letting your husband be the driver on family outings doesn’t at ALL represent who wears the pants in those families.

I think leftists couldn’t care less what it really means. It’s about hating Christianity and hating the right. It’s just a means to an end to them. York was just doing his part to help bring down a strong conservative politician.

We live in strange times. A woman, obedient to God's word, and therefore submissive her husband, is considered old fashioned, delusional and crazy while a woman who is sexually submissive and wears latex&leather in kink festivals is called "brave" for her "lifestyle choice" and is congratulated by progressives.

Good is evil and evil is good.

MArried couples submit to each other time to time else the marriage is a joke..

The question politically speaking is silly... made by silly people for silly reasons..
