I think it's very unsubmissive to ask the Master to put his own clothes in the basket. You can do better SirsSubmissiveWife!
And btw that was really funny, I thought it was for real.

It pops up in New posts now and then. You never know if the OP comes back and reads it.
I know, I know. No worries. I don't think the OP will be back (at least not under the same name). They've already returned under other names.

I know a lot of wives don't agree with submission in this day and age. But the Bible is very clear in this regard. Ephesians 5.22: Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord.
That's as cut and dry as you can get.

Hint! do you know what S & M is?

if not look it up and then draw a straight line right back to this thread...try bondage also

One more thing: what does submissive mean to you? carpet?

the Bible has alot of things to say regarding relationships and marriage...one verse does NOT make doctrine

now worshipful, I see you have only made one post...and on this thread too..you even bypassed the intro thread and came straight here...like a homing pigeon

interesting

The Greek word for "submit" in Eph 5:22 is exactly the same word in verse 21.....so we are all to be "submitting" to each other in the body of Christ.

Thayer's Lexicon says the Greek word for "submit" here = " to yield to another's admonition or advice ".....it doesn't mean " to do what ever I tell you to do.."..as religious men have taught in the past.

So, the man is to "submit" to the wife and others in the body of Christ too.

Ephesians 5:20-22 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
[SUP]21 [/SUP] Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. .

Unfortunately, most new posters who see the headline-grabbing title of this thread just read the first post and decide to make a comment.

It actually takes reading through a good number of pages of this thread to realize that something is actually amiss, which is not as clearly evident in the first post.

There is also a point in time several pages on in the thread in which the original poster comes back under another name in "support" of the "original poster", meaning herself, and her own point of views.

New posters don't realize that this is not a simple matter of Godly submission between a husband and wife, but rather, a matter of an "alternative" lifestyle.

However, one must actually take the time to read a good majority of the posts in this thread in order to realize that.

Yup. I also know that a lot of men don't like to give their life for their wives like Jesus did. Yeah if she's always cute and you don't really have to, sure, lol but otherwise you see men and women don't always like what the Bible says.

Being submissive for a wife is only a pleasant thing when the husband isn't an abusive tyrant.

It also says in the bible that husbands are to love their wives. A wife is not the slave to the husband subjected to his every whim and desire. There is no excuse for a husband to be abusive and should not be tolerated from the wife.

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.
What will happen when your master finds another master to teach him to become a better master. Will you then leave your master for his master, or will you stay with the master who master's the least.
