I plan on getting married in the not too distant future and then starting a family, God willing.
My girlfriend is a new Christian and asked me to post a question here to see what the answers are.
I showed her a passage from Ephesians 5 about husbands and wives submitting to each other. I considered posting this on the Bible Discussion Forum, but the intent of this thread is more for advice.
I should preface this question with saying that she disagrees that husband and wife should submit to each other completely, but there are specific points she way be willing to submit to.
So if there is anyone, whether you be unmarried, married, or divorced and have perspective with specific examples of how spouses should submit to each other then I request your advice.
My question:
What does it mean to submit to each other, what are some invalid requirements for spouses to submit to, and how does this effect freedom and privacy?
I also might add that she is not American, but is Vietnamese. If you happen to be Vietnamese, or are in a relationship with someone from Vietnam, and understand the chasm of cultural differences that may effect this question, then please feel free to advise.
Thanks so much. God bless.
