What does the Bible say about wives submitting to husbands?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible commands wives to submit to their husbands as to the Lord, reflecting the relationship between Christ and the church.

In Ephesians 5:22-24, the Apostle Paul instructs wives to submit to their husbands as to the Lord. This command is not a reflection of inferiority but rather an aspect of the divine order established in marriage, paralleling the relationship of Christ to the church. Just as the church willingly submits to Christ's headship, wives are called to embrace their role in the family structure, which symbolizes the gospel and is meant to reflect the gospel truth.
