Why? Because the New Testament clearly states it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Colossians%203&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colossians 3<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=ephesians+5&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ephesians 5<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+peter+3&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 Peter 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Deeper Meaning of Submission<\/h3>\n<p>But let me tell you,\u2062 there \u200bis so much more \u200cto this concept than meets the eye. The true\u2062 significance\u200d of a wife&#8217;s\u2062 submission lies in the beautiful reflection \u2063of Israel&#8217;s restoration to her\u2064 heavenly\u200b bridegroom, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/music-superstar-stuns-fans-retiring-devoting-life-jesus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our Lord Jesus Christ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For years, I struggled with actually\u200b putting this into practice. I knew I \u2064should submit \u200band respected my husband as the head \u200bof our household, but I couldn&#8217;t seem to\u200b fully \u2063embrace it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The Hidden\u2063 Truth About \u200cBiblical Submission<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the truth that many influencers\u2064 in my \u200bspace won&#8217;t share: biblical\u200b submission \u200bis not \u200dabout outward actions\u200b or self-justification. It goes much \u200ddeeper\u200d than that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I used to believe that if I\u2064 could just &#8220;do it right,&#8221; everything would fall into \u2062place. But I\u2063 was mistaken.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Lesson in Surrender<\/h3>\n<p>Thankfully, \u2064my failures in &#8220;submission&#8221; taught me\u200b a valuable lesson. It\u2064 wasn&#8217;t \u200cabout fixing myself\u2062 or my husband; it was about surrendering to God and relying on His power.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>True submission comes\u2062 from a place of full reliance on\u200d God, not our \u200cown \u2063efforts. It&#8217;s about surrendering our desires and\u200b trusting in His righteousness.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The \u2064Liberating Power of \u200dLetting \u2063Go<\/h3>\n<p>Letting go\u200b of\u200d the need to\u2063 &#8220;do it right&#8221; is incredibly\u2062 liberating. It allows us to focus on our relationship with \u2063Christ \u2063and rely on His promises.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Submitting to our\u200b husbands is\u2062 important, but it should never be\u200c our sole focus.\u200b Our ultimate submission should \u2064be to God,\u2062 trusting in His plan for our lives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The \u2064Eternal Perspective<\/h3>\n<p>Remember, the glory God has in store\u200b for us extends\u2063 beyond this life. We are betrothed to our heavenly husband, Christ,\u200c and in Him,\u200b we find perfect peace\u200c and satisfaction.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, let go of control, surrender to God, and the rest will follow. Trust in His perfect love and find \u200dtrue fulfillment in Him.<\/p>\n<p><em>A \u2063version of this article first\u200c appeared in \u200bthe\u200d Substack \u2062\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/isaryan.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Homemaker\u2019s Manifesto<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/many-women-misunderstand-biblical-submission-marriage\/\">What Many\u2063 Women Misunderstand About Biblical Submission in Marriage<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What is the importance of open and honest communication in regards to\u200c submission \u2064within marriage?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063 On<\/h3>\n<p>After much prayer, study, and reflection, I came \u2063to\u2062 realize that my understanding of\u200b submission was flawed. I had misunderstood \u200dthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/when-judging-anti-semitism-should-we-accept-ignorance-as-an-excuse\/\" title=\"When Judging Anti-Semitism, Should We Accept Ignorance As An Excuse?\">true meaning<\/a> and purpose behind biblical\u2062 submission in marriage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>First and foremost, it is\u2063 important to recognize\u200c that submission does not imply \u2063inferiority. In God&#8217;s design for marriage, both husband and wife are equal partners, with\u2063 different roles and responsibilities. The husband has been given the role of leadership, while the wife\u200c is called to submit to her husband&#8217;s leadership. This does not\u2063 mean that the wife is less valuable or less important than her husband. Rather, it \u200dis a beautiful expression of unity and harmony within the marriage relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Submission is also not synonymous with\u2062 blind \u200dobedience. Wives\u200d are called to submit to their husbands, but this submission is \u200cnot unconditional. It is important to remember that both husband and wife are called to submit to God first and foremost. \u200bThe husband&#8217;s leadership should be\u2064 guided by love, wisdom, and servant-heartedness, aligning with \u2062God&#8217;s \u2063will. If a husband&#8217;s leadership goes against God&#8217;s commands or\u2063 principles, the wife has the responsibility to express\u2063 her concerns and \u2064seek God&#8217;s guidance together.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, submission does not mean that a wife forfeits her voice or opinions. It\u200d is essential for wives to maintain open and honest \u2064communication with their husbands, sharing their thoughts, concerns, \u200dand ideas. A husband \u200dshould value and respect his wife&#8217;s input, considering her perspective in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-year-later-how-the-death-of-george-floyd-changed-5-american-institutions\/\" title=\"One Year Later: How The Death Of George Floyd Changed 5 American Institutions\u00a0\">decision-making processes<\/a>. Submission does not require the suppression of individuality or the neglect of personal desires and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, biblical submission in marriage is rooted in\u2064 love and sacrifice. \u200dJust as Christ selflessly laid down His life for the church, husbands are called\u2062 to love their wives sacrificially. Wives, in turn, are called to respect and support their \u200dhusbands,\u2064 trusting in their leadership and honoring their God-given role. Submission is an act of mutual trust, love, and reverence within\u200c the marriage covenant.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for women to\u200b have a proper understanding \u200cof biblical submission, as it has often been misconstrued and misinterpreted. Instead of\u2063 viewing submission as a burden or limitation, women should see it as a \u200cprivilege and an opportunity to reflect the beautiful relationship between Christ and His church. By embracing the true meaning of \u2062submission, women can experience the fullness of God&#8217;s design for marriage and cultivate a harmonious and loving relationship with their\u2063 husbands.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, biblical submission in \u200bmarriage is\u2064 far from a\u2063 one-dimensional\u2064 concept. It goes beyond a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/concerns-over-sequoia-capital-loom-as-biden-meets-with-xi\/\" title=\"Concerns Over Sequoia Capital Loom As Biden Meets With Xi\">surface-level understanding<\/a> and encompasses the deeper truths of love, sacrifice, and unity. As women, let us\u2062 seek to truly grasp the significance of submission and\u2062 embrace it as \u200ba\u2063 reflection of our divine relationship with Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That these passages are not isolated verses taken out of context, but rather part of a larger message about the roles and responsibilities within a Christian marriage.
