Am I the only one who finds it interesting that people are going toe-to-toe over an issue that doesn't even apply to them?
In other words, it's the single people arguing about what it means to be married.
It's easy to philosophize on how things should be and what the scriptures mean if you don't actually have to apply those scriptures.
I'm not sure why we don't listen more to people who've actually been married (like Olerica) and had to negotiate some of these issues instead of insisting that our (untried) biblical interpretations are right.
Just a thought.

I am disappointed in the majority of the thread who do not agree with the OP, to her I say good on you for doing the right thing and respecting and submitting to your husband in a fashion that glorifies God because that represents love for Christ, when we love the significant other in the most absolute way, the relationship is made strong and God is most glorified. Glory to God is putting Christ first which means we love our significant other the way they should be loved with complete and utter surrender, and by that a wife glorified her husband and a man blesses his wife. Its something I am aspiring to do because my wife deserves the love she needs and the attention she merits as my helper and lover, remember Adam and Eve and their complete surrender to each other, they were in complete sincere nakedness with trust and faithfulness. Anyways bless your heart OP may your dreams be fulfilled along with your husbands.
Wanted to say this too... That the reason women react often, is that the balance is not maintained well and because of that, women end up victims and abused. Good, Godly men react to this too because they care as well. Also men can be abused and are often put upon by women. The trick is to love and continue to love and nurture each other in Christ and in our marriages.
We really do need to seek out submission to God and learn to love each other, preferring each other in our singleness so that when we marry, that muscle is well developed and utilized in out lives and in our marriages

I think the point of the thread has been proven...if you uphold the biblical idea of a submissive wife...you will be attacked by the PC police
The OP didn't present a scenario that actually supported biblical marriage. This was pointed out to her by a variety of people with a variety of understandings regarding the scripture.
YOU not only agreed with the OP, but you asked if she had a sister...which indicated that your views of "biblical marriage" seemed to align with hers.
People objected to this.
There was much arguing.
Now you claim that you've been attacked for adhering to the idea of a "submissive wife."
Sounds like a lot of illogical thinking to reinforce the lenses you already walk around wearing.
