  1. Absolutely!!! Love this post today. I recently had a conversation with a friend and she said that in certain instances (now these instances were NOT anything that went against God’s word, strictly a matter of she felt she should be allowed to workout with others if her husband told her no) she felt that she shouldn’t have to obey because she didn’t feel like he was being fair. I simply told her that if you pick and choose what you are going to be submissive in, you aren’t submitting.

  2. Great post.
    My husband has recently taken up smoking again, and worse. Although he’s a believer, and has been a very faithful Christian man for the past 5 years (and previously also, when he was younger) he has always battled addiction, and right now, it’s getting the better of him. I’m finding it SO HARD to submit right now, and carry on submitting when he is smoking and wasting money that could be better spent on other things. I’m finding it so hard to keep quiet when my natural personality is to tell him what I think (he knows what I think, he knows me well, I don’t need to voice my thoughts to him).

    I’m not sure if my husband is going to win this battle or not, or if he even wants to, but I’m going to do my best to stay submissive during this time and hope that things don’t go back to how they once were. Please keep us in your prayers and please keep up the encouraging posts.

  3. I am so sorry to hear this, KAK, but remember that the Lord wants you to continue to have a meek and quiet spirit in front of your husband. The opposite of this is controlling and being continually upset. Remember, you’re only responsible for your behavior, not your husband’s.

    Here is one post I wrote about having a meek and quiet spirit and you may want to order the book mentioned by Matthew Henry for daily encouragement.

  4. There are women who are submitting but who do not respect their husbands. Men can tell if their wives do not have respect for them.

  5. Saying a prayer for you! “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deut. 31:6

  6. Sadly – as a result of the march of feminism people (even devout Christians) are squeamish about using the word submission in the context of marriage. Despite the fact that it is not only clear in the Bible and God’s design but also demonstrably beneficial to marriage.
