Wives are to submit to their husbands and Husbands are to likewise submit to their wives. I think your pretty much on point. I know this can be a bone of contention for some. I’ve seen couples with good and bad unity between them. It does seem, that those that both have a living relationship with Christ, are those that have the greater “oneness”. Someone has to have the final say. After prayer and a searching after righteousness, the hope is, righteousness would be manifested, and not any one’s “will.” Thereby God could bless.

Had you used the NV you would see ' in the same way'. Peter is saying it is not a one way transaction. Wives don't submit in isolation, but it is a two way transaction. Husbands as Paul teaches are to love their wife in the same costly, self sacrifical way that Jesus loves us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while, though, I question their judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
