Submission to the husband by the wife is not optional from the perspective of the bible. Therefore before you, as a woman, say, “Yes, I do,” you need to realise that you are not just signing to emotional comfort, but you are committing yourself to a lifetime of yeses.The idea captured in the focus verse is that of total, sweeping, unquestioning and unalloyed submission. If you think that is too much, it means you have not aligned yourself enough to the truth of God‘s word. You are still conformed to the world in your own mind (Romans Peter, while admonishing women, said they should follow Sarah’s model who called her husband Lord (1Peter 3:6). However, there is more to that than just a four letter word (no pun intended), it is an attitude. That is the attitude for the Christian woman.
