God's requirement for “submission” is not aimed at making us slaves of one another.
If submission mirrors the relationship between Christ and His church, it means that God wants wives to experience the same kind of sacrificial love, protection, guidance, provision and nourishment that God lavishes on us daily.
Husbands, LOVE your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Ephesians 5:25
People are so quick to quote Ephesians 5:22, how about you starting from verse 21 then read to verse 29 and you’ll know the right way to treat your woman.
People should stop twisting the word of God to fit your purpose.
28) In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself

29) No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.

Like I always tell my friends, that “submission” is a set up......
One of the greatest responsibilities given unto men is the responsibility of you taking care of your woman, just as Christ loved the church & same way you’ll do to yourself. So before you do anything to her, think about how you gon feel about it first.
Submission is not slavery!
Too many men use religion(submission) to beat women into subjection by position & order...& claim their houses are in order, but their houses are loveless.
Order doesnt have to be demanded when LOVE is present.
LOVE AND RESPECT establishes order.
When a “sane” woman is loved and treated right submission comes naturally.
As a man, play your part first!
I think the problem with so many men is we trying to form “hard guy”. Most of us don’t really know how to act right and we still don’t tell ourselves the truth.
One of the secrets to your success in life is your woman. How you treat her determines how far you’ll go in life.
Stressing a woman is no love. Stop measuring a woman’s loyalty by how much stress you putting on her.
I always hear “being a man is not easy”.
To be a woman? You’ve got no idea...smh
God will not hold you responsible for what your wife says to you or how your wife acts towards you. He will hold you responsible for how you love her in spite of her disposition.
Be a man, but don’t bully your woman under the guise of your masculinity.
Don’t bully her, stress her, degrade her or intimidate her.
God doesn’t appreciate it at all!
In fact, God says that if you can’t understand that your wife is a “co-heir of the GRACE of life,” your prayers are hindered.
There is a blessing attached to it when you treat your woman right.
If you don’t listen to your wife, God won’t listen to you.
If you want God to be happy with you, love your wife and treat her right.
Submission is not slavery!

I pray the Lord help us all🙏
