What does the Bible teach about submission in marriage?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that wives are to submit to their husbands, reflecting a divine order of authority and showcasing the beauty of mutual respect.

In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul instructs wives to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord. This submission is not indicative of inferiority, but rather reflects the created order established by God, where man is to serve as the head of the household. Furthermore, this hierarchical structure is complemented by the call for husbands to love their wives selflessly, mirroring Christ's love for the church. Therefore, the submission of a wife is a beautiful act of reverence and is intended to foster harmony and mutual support in the marriage. Scripture upholds submission as God's design for relationships, rooted in love and respect, rather than dominance or oppression.
