The husband is the leader and the wife submits to his leadership. But his leadership should be geared to what is best for the wife and children. The husband should submit to his wife's needs. But that's not an excuse for her to be lazy and not take care of the home, which is where the wife should be if it is at all possible financially. When the husband is leading properly it is easy for the wife to submit, and if he is submitting to her needs she's more willing to follow his leadership.

I am finding these days in many cases the men....lazy men, are forcing the switching of roles in the marriage. They don't want to work and would rather stay home and be a "house husband." There should be no such thing. Even at my church we had a visiting pastor who said he quit his job to serve the Lord and for the past three years his wife has been the sole financial provider for the house. And another visiting minister just a few months ago said the same thing. This is completely obsurd and against God's word which says " If any does not provide for his (not HER) family, especially they of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel (unbeliever). In such a case the woman, being forced to provide for the house becomes resentful towards her deadbeat husband and finds it impossible to respect and honor someone who chooses to not work and take care of his family, thereby forcing her to be the head of the house. And believe me, it isn't just the young people.

Why in these days of time woman fine it so hard to SUBMIT to her husband?

Satanic interference. We have witnessed the attack on the husband role and wife submission in marriage by feminist groups for nearly 50 years. Now we are witnessing attacks on God's institution of marriage by gay rights groups. Both groups have/are creating incredible destruction against God's institution of marriage.
