Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 5 teaches that submission in the family is essential and reflects the order established by God.

The text underscores that the principle of submission is foundational, beginning not just with children but with adults, who must first submit to Christ. Ephesians 5:21 teaches mutual submission among believers, which is essential for fostering harmony in families. The subsequent instructions regarding marriage roles in Ephesians 5:22-33 further elaborate on the dynamics of authority and submission, emphasizing that the husband is to love his wife sacrificially while the wife is to submit respectfully to her husband, reflecting Christ's relationship with the Church.
