That is not good have you tried to talk to her about your needs and not making it about submission. But about it being. A desire maybe a true heart to heart about feelings is needed and leave the religious part seperate. The Bible is wonderful but so
some times we need to set it a side and talk from our hearts hopefully she listens and you can get it figured. Out.

What do you see as submitting? I've just gone through Ephesians 5:21_28 and would like to talk about this more with you.
I am in the process of teaching my son these things as he will be getting married in Sept of this year.
I am 35 years wed and very happy .
So the first thing I would like to know is what do you mean by submitting?

Oi vey!
This smacks of all kinds of "I'm the boss! Submit to me you mere woman!"
How about doing your part instead of trying to force her to to her part?
Here's your part --
[h=1]Ephesians 5:25-33 (ESV)[/h][FONT="]25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

When you get your part down right, then worry about her part.

Thamk you for getting back to me.
There are numerous examples:
---being respectful
-- not raising her voice just to make a point, or express herself
---A Godly Woman Seeks to be Gentle and Quiet. The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge. (Proverbs 9:13, NIV) She is loud and defiant, her feet never stay at home (Proverbs 7:11 NIV)
---tells white lies, or tells me just enough info to answer a question
She says there's a difference between a white lie and a bold-face lie???

Maybe instead of trying to use law to get her to "submit", you need to earn her respect.
Love earns respect, not trying to force it because it is law.
So instead of demanding that she follow law, love her and lay down your life of pride and demands for respect. In this way, loving her, you earn respect rather than demanding she follow the law.
This is my opinion of what will help. Our Lord loved us first. It wasn't demands that we follow the law that drew us to Him, it was selfless love.

your forgetting something..
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Its not all on her, its on you as well. Loving your wife is also respecting her. And it seems to me like she doesnt feel loved or respected. She is missing/lacking something that she needs from you.
Colossians 3:19
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
