Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Let's not be like Arnold! Let's turn to the Bible for wisdom and guidance।

The Bible encourages wives to submit to their husbands। This is not popular. Submission never has been a popular word in the U.S. From our beginnings, we have been a rebellious lot.

The Bible encourages men to love their wives as much as they love their own body। This is not popular in our me-first society.

At the root of the problem is a lack of understanding of the symbolic nature of marriage। Marriage was intended to symbolize the relationship between Jesus Christ and His Church. The Church is to submit to Christ as Lord and follow Him wherever He leads. Christ gave up everything for His Bride, the Church.

Men have the God-given responsibility to lead their wives to a deeper relationship with the Lord। We, husband and wife, are servants to the same Master.

So, wives, submit to the leadership of husbands that love you. If he is not leading like he should, encourage him! Help him to grow into the man that you desire, by the Grace of God. Husbands love your wives as you love your own body, as Christ loves the Church. It's the way God intended!
