Marriage & Submission
"Wives, submit" does not mean "husbands, dominate." God did not create Eve from Adam's feet to be trampled upon, nor from his head to rule over him. He made her from Adam's side, the nearest place to his heart, to be his helpmate and companion.
Healthy marriages model a right understanding of submission. A husband is to nourish and strengthen his wife as a leader among equals, and both are to submit to the LORD. As Christ leads and loves the church, so the husband is to lead and love his wife.
