You’re forgetting the verse right before, the one where it says submit to one another.
Do you allow your husband to submit to you?

What about verse 21 right before 22, you know, where it says submit to one another?
Just because you would become a wife, it doesn’t mean that verse 21 disappears. It is still there.
There were no paragraph breaks when the scriptures were written and verse 21 went with verse 22. Some Bibles today thankfully keep the verses together and don’t have them separated.

My role would be to compliment my husband, and as Gods inspired word says, wives submit to your husbands....
[22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Than you’re not following God’s inspired words in verse 21 if your not allowing your husband to submit to you.
21 submitting to one another in the fear of [f]God.

100% truth, which flies in the face of posting photos of oneself acting submissive to be seen of men.
Think about it. If feminism is about women being self-centered, then what's going on here and in other threads, blogs, etc?
Is the motive to be approved and praised by men/women, or to please God? I'm asking an honest question. And I'm not just asking you. We all should examine our motives before God.

I knew I wanted a masculine man before I got married. But in order to get that, I had to learn to be feminine.
Life is full of trade offs. I had to give up insisting on my way in the marriage for my husband to lose his timidity and gain confidence in himself as a man.

I love the word of God, to be honest @Wrangler , I think how one is brought up can have a great impact on marriage, my Father was extremely domineering, I learnt that trait from my father, I took that domineering streak into both marriages, long story.
Anyway, by the grace of God, he has been showing me how a wife should be towards their husbands,Wynona is a typical example of a Godly wife, imo.
I support all of her posts and won’t argue with others over what I believe..it’s not up for discussion...

Amen!...Amen!...Amen!...I do believe that God is preparing me for a husband.....I used to be such a “ fisher wife”......such a big mouth...this is where God has also been teaching me to humble myself....and to fully surrender my will over to him...Praise God.
The word 'submit' in verse 22 wasn't even in the original verse. The original verse simply said, "Wives to your own husbands..."
Looks like I learned something new today, thank you!
People should be open to learning new things and not assume what they think they know is completely correct.

I'm convinced arguing can worsen our spirits. In 1 Cor, I read that strife is a work of the flesh that can keep us from inheriting the Kingdom of God.
2 Timothy 2:24
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
If I can't be gentle or patient. I think it's better if I don't respond to every post.

I agree. A weak man is 100% useless. There is a balance, though. An overbearing tyrant who suppresses his wife, and controls her every breath is not the definition of Godly masculinity.
A Godly husband provides, protects, LOVES, and is gentle (due benevolence). He doesn't deal treacherously with her. He honors her. And under that sort of covering, she is able to flourish and then we see the ermergence of the Proverbs 31 woman who is a keeper in her home, and yet she is a very prosperous business woman, using her God-given talents to contribute to the household in multiple ways.
Malachi 2:13-17
[13]And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
[14]Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
[15]And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
[16]For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
[17]Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

Arguing distances me from the Spirit of God, I’m so close to him like you are, that I can’t bear to be separated from him,...as in, when I start arguing being prideful and egotistical, where is God in that...it’s all about “ self” Sis....Taken God a long time to stop my arguing.....all in his timing and strength...Praise God that I can walk away from an argument, I recognise the start of one, straight away now....
Love reading your posts on marriage...I agree 100% with them...keep them coming as they are such an encouragement to me and others I’m sure , who read this thread.
