So when men love women that much, and ‘actions speak louder than words” well...then men can expect THAT SUBMISSION they keep talking about. When you respect someone submission is easy.

Nonsense. This is just the current "I'll do my part after he does his" excuse for not submitting.

Christian women in particular LOVE to believe their submission is contingent.

You missed the point, maybe that’s why you are hung up on the Submission part, and not the Happiness of marriage.

Please give me that Scripture location about ‘submission’.

Here let me give it to you, and it isn’t taken out of context but in context which you should read ALL OF IT...TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT:

Ephesians 5:22-33New International Version (NIV)

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[b] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
