I found this and figured this was the best place to share it. Btw it is all in good fun.
Ten reasons why God created Eve:

10. God worried that Adam would always be lost in the garden because He knew men would never ask for directions.

9. God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote because men don't want to see what is on TV; they want to see WHAT ELSE is on TV.

8. God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when the seat wore out and therefore would need Eve to get one for him.

7. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor's appt for himself.

6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.

5. God knew that if the world was to be populated there would have to someone to bear children because men would never be able to handle it.

4. As Keeper of the Garden Adam would never remember where he put his tools.

3. The Scripture account of creation indicates that Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.

2. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone", he only ends up getting himself in trouble.

And the NUMBER ONE reason...

1. When God finished the creation of Adam he stepped back, scratched his head and said, "I can do better than that."

"master" is used multiple times in the Bible to describe someone other than God, so I don't know why people are freaking out over a word.

a marriage can have more of a dominance/submissive role than others might be comfortable with, but if both partners are happy in it then there is nothing wrong with it, trying to call it "bondage" is ridiculous. People are obviously bringing their own personal feelings into it and saying it's wrong.

If a woman chooses to be totally submissive and is happy and is still loved and cherished by her husband then you cannot say that arrangement is wrong

What I am saying if the husband refused and yelled at the wife what are you supposed to do? Do you go behind your husband's back for not being man enough and taking care of his family?
Yes. In the Bible, a wise wife, Abigail, had to that with husband. 1 Samuel chapter 25

What two people negotiate between themselves within the privacy of their marriage is none of my business (nor should it be). The point is not that people can (and do) create these kinds of roles. No one really argued with this point.

Again, what was problematic about the OP is that it was presented with a spiritual overlay. It was implied that their marriage was an example of what the bible demands. It is not. It is THIS POINT that people have been consistently contesting.

Exactly....this young lady painted a picture of a one up/one down relationship....it is not only unhealthy but it is unbiblical.

Proverbs 31 shows us what a woman of GOD is like, taking care of her household, helping the less fortunate, active, an asset and helpmeet to her husband........ not a brainless, indecisive child.

I have had real life experience with that lifestyle there is NOTHING of God in it.

If this works for you so be it. What I will say is being submissive is not being passive, the wife is to understand her position meaning she is the helpmeet. Being under GOD and husband they are her covering both Spiritual and physical. When Eve was disobedient GOD went to Adam because the covenant was between GOD and Adam, Eve was deceived. Adam was to cover Eve, disobedience was eating what was forbidden as well as not covering Eve. Eve should have submitted to both GOD and Adam to not eat what was forbidden, not to steer her husband to go against GOD. So in reality it's about being in unison to GOD'S Will.

Blessings!!!!!!!

Everyone I must apologize I have given in to a worldly passion to argue and debate with you guys about God's word, this subject is not something you can argue about it is truth and the truth can't be debated period, I should have prayed and done more research on this matter before I just started posting with you guys, I should have posted once and I would have preferred that it been the one where I talked about Jesus being the head of his church I am sorry for acting so foolish, childish and immature I hope you guys can forgive me for my actions.

I've gotten the gasp and eye roll from pretty much every person I have this conversation with (Christian or not) when I say I am a submissive wife to my Master (husband). The truth is I have always had a submissive type of personality and spirit. I do my best everyday to submit to God and my Husband.
This means, I wake up and do my daily devotional and pray, I then kiss Master awake and make food while He chooses our clothes for the day. I sometimes will draw Him a shower then clean the house. It is these things, but mostly it is about listening to Him if He tells me no for something I trust that He has my best interest in mind. This is a rare occurrence though. Being a submissive wife to me is also not arguing withMaster if iI don't like something. There are times where He will for instance leave clothes about the house instead of putting them in the basket, instead of arguing I simply ask "I know you work a lot to give me and us a good life and home and you're tired at night but next time can you please put your clothes in the basket?" And He apologizes and picks up His own mess.

It is about trust, love and honesty. I don't understand why some people think that women being this way is somehow wrong.
The words "yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full Sir," come to mind! lol

God gave you a mind, try using it...

Matt 22v37: "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

well for starters you know nothing about her relationship and how it functions, your experience is not her experience, also it's rather rude to insult her by calling her a "brainless indecisive child"

I see nothing christian about your attitude or opinion
