It is obviously super important to have God in the marriage. That aside, I believe that it is very important for both husband and wife to give of themselves and to serve the other person. I also think that it is important for the husband and wife to communicate. But, above all, I believe that they key to a great marriage is to follow the roles that God has placed us in. The husband to lead the family, both physically and spiritually, and to love the wife sacrificially (Ephesians 5:25-28). The wife, to submit to her husband and obey him (Ephesians 5:22-24)(1 Peter 3:1-6).
This, I believe, is the key to having a successful marriage.
What a refreshing take on this controversial subject, and it's biblical too. Thank you 👍🙂

What are your thoughts on what it means for a wife to submit to, and obey the husband? Obviously she isn't to be treated like a dog and is not expected to come and go, sit and beg at the whim and call of the husband. So how do you see that directive being worked on in reality? I am very much interested in your perspective on this please, it'd be much appreciated. Tony
