In today's time, the thought of a wife being submissive is not widely accepted. One of the causes for this is the wrong concept that is associated with what is involved in the word submission. The first question of this theme deals with the false concept surrounding subjection or submission. This concept is not only for the women.
Submission is applicable for all believers.
It does not mean that the wife is inferior than her spouse. In God's eyes the man and woman are equal. It does not mean that the wife is a slave. If we study well the ideal woman of Proverbs 31 we will find that this woman had become all that God had purposed her to be. Thankfully, her spouse gave her the freedom to develop all the gifts that she had.
