What does the Bible say about wives submitting to husbands?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible instructs wives to submit to their husbands as it is fitting in the Lord (Colossians 3:18).

In Colossians 3:18, Scripture clearly states, 'Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.' This instruction emphasizes that submission is a voluntary act, rooted in the heart of the wife rather than a demand from the husband. As submission reflects a willing and desirable heart attitude, it serves as a model for how all believers are to submit to one another in different roles within the body of Christ.
Scripture References: Colossians 3:18, Ephesians 5:22-24
