Why is submission important in Christian marriage?

Answered in 1 source

Submission in marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church, highlighting mutual respect and love.

In Ephesians 5:22-33, submission is framed not as subjugation but as a powerful reflection of Christ's relationship with the Church. This teaches us that wives should submit to their husbands as unto the Lord, while husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially. The role of headship is not about dominance but about protection and support, illustrating Christ's caring leadership. It showcases how God designed marriage to advance His glory and purpose.
