What does the Bible say about marital submission?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible instructs wives to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22).

Ephesians 5:22 states, 'Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.' This instruction comes as part of a broader teaching on the order of authority established by God. The submission is not a forced subjugation but a willing and loving respect that reflects the relationship between Christ and His church. It's vital to understand this context, as Paul writes to believers who are called to embody their faith in all aspects of life, including marriage.
