Even non feminists don’t like the “submission” bit. For crying out loud “submission” is not something I believe belongs in marriage.

Of course it does! "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 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... Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy."

Marriage isn't a democracy. It can't be. It isn't a business partnership. It's a union of two souls. It's a daily struggle against our own selfishness. Unselfish people will enjoy happy marriages. Selfish people destroy them.

That being said, some people are married to saints, and some people are married to saint-makers. Most of us are a bit of both 8-)

That may be the best summation of the subject I've read to date!

We disagree and quoting the Bible does not bring agreement in this case.
