What does the Bible say about submission to husbands?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible instructs women to be subject to their husbands as a reflection of the order established by God.
The Bible teaches in Titus 2:3-5 that older women should instruct younger women to love their husbands and be subject to them. This concept is rooted in the divine order established by God, as seen in 1 Corinthians 11:3, where it states that Christ is the head of every man, and man is the head of every woman. Submission is not a matter of inferiority but of divine order. It's essential for Christians to understand that true submission arises from a heart transformed by the gospel, acknowledging the beauty of Christ's own submission to the Father.
