Most people confuse meek with weak, and submission with slavery.
But if you look at the Scriptures, you will see that women are told to submit to their own husbands as the Church submits to our Messiah, Jesus. Jesus, in the Gospels, gave us broad commands of the Great Commission, to love G-d, and our neighbors, to live a holy life, and to help others. However, Jesus did not give us picky details on how to go about fulfilling these commands, nor does He stand over our shoulders looking for ways to criticize our work, or letting us know He could have done better. Instead, He gave each of us the ability to learn, grow, and gain knowledge, experience, and wisdom to get the job done. He also provides a steady stream of blessings to us as we go about His business, letting us know He loves and cares for us and approves of us.
