In marriage, wives are called to live in submission to their husbands. Women are not inferior human beings who must submit to every man. Being a man, does not make one better than a woman. Husbands and wives have a mutual possessiveness as well as a mutual submissiveness. A submissive wife is not a browbeaten slave, but an equal partner in marriage who understands her God-given role.
Some people are teachers, other are students.
The teacher is not greater than the student but has a different role. Some people are employers, others are employees. The employer is not greater than the employee but has a different role. Some people are husbands, some are wives, and one is not greater than the other they just have different roles. Husbands are the heads of the home, wives are the necks.
