The Bible instructs wives to submit themselves to their husbands, stating in Ephesians 5:22, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." This passage has been a topic of controversy and debate in modern times, but it is important to understand the true meaning and intention behind this command.

Firstly, submission in the Bible does not imply inferiority or subjugation. It is a voluntary act of love and respect, just as Christ submitted to the will of the Father in the garden of Gethsemane. In fact, the Bible also commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25), which involves sacrificial love and a willingness to lay down one's life for the other.

Furthermore, submission is not a one-sided command. The Bible also instructs husbands to submit to their wives in other areas of their marriage, such as in 1 Peter 3:7, which states, "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered." This passage emphasizes the importance of mutual submission and respect within a marriage.

It is also important to note that submission does not mean blind obedience or silence in the face of abuse or mistreatment. The Bible condemns any form of abuse or mistreatment, and wives are not expected to submit to their husbands in these situations. Instead, they are called to seek help and support from authorities and their community.

Overall, the command for wives to submit to their husbands in the Bible is a call for mutual respect and love within a marriage. It is not a call for oppression or subjugation, and it is important to understand the full context and meaning of this passage.
