Should a Wife Submit to her Husband? Should a Husband Submit to his Wife? What does SUBMITTING really mean in a Marriage?

First and foremost, I want to be clear that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to these questions. Every relationship is different, and what works for one couple may not work for another. That said, I do think there are some general principles that can be helpful in navigating these issues.

When it comes to the question of “submission,” it’s important to recognize that this term can be loaded with negative connotations. For many women, the idea of “submitting” to a man can feel disempowering or even degrading. However, I believe that there is a way to approach this issue that is more about mutual respect and partnership than about one person having power over the other.

For those who want to use the Bible as context, it also says that husbands should submit to their wives as well, “Peter says in 3:1, “In the same way, you wives, be submissive.” Then, and this is the clincher, he writes in 3:7, “You husbands in the same way.”

In my view, the key to a healthy relationship is balance. Both partners should have an equal say in decisions that affect their lives together, and both should feel valued and respected for their contributions. At the same time, it’s important to recognize that each person brings different strengths and skills to the table. In some cases, it may make sense for one partner to take the lead on certain decisions or aspects of the relationship.This is where the idea of the “head of the household” comes in. Traditionally, this term has been used to describe the man as the primary decision-maker in the family. However, I think it’s important to recognize that this role can and should be shared between partners in a healthy relationship.
