The husband has to be gentle and loving doing only those things that Jesus would want him to do. |
I think no one is able to live exactly like Jesus. I am sure many out there come respectably close. Also marriage is where this is perfected for both men and women. I know women that are as bad as some men or worse.
As long as both are striving for it then it can occur. Prayer by the man for his wife and the reverse is a huge factor. I often think the bad one just stand out more and most women I met over look the real treasures offered and get mesmerized by the ones with more glamor.
Reminds me of the old joke of a husband store the women kept going up looking for the better model and end up running out of store. The man makes it to the second floor and is happy to stop and none ever made it to the third floor.

If you love your wife as yourself then submission takes a new meaning. Part of the problem is translation the word submit I do not think is the true meaning of the original text. The word used there kinds toward partnership. yes in Gods eye the man is responsible for his home wife and children. This means he is to be held accountable for their actions. So we are to be the home leaders and ensure that we follow the biblical ways and that our home is doing the same. Though love not dictatorship. just as Jesus did with his disciples.
