My wife has a problem with submission. I ordered the book “Created to be his Help Meet” it did not arrive yet. I showed her the excerpts and she is rejecting it. She is suffering and I’m suffering. If you are ready to help please consider emailing me at contact@barnabasnagy.com

Candace I was so blessed by what the encouraging words you spoke about submission. Submission is such a personal thing for a woman and so many feel they are minimized by it. Personally it is such a step of freedom and total surrender to God. You are a blessing and it is so wonderful to see such a high profile woman speaking Gods word so plainly.

Candace, I did not realize your husband was not a believer when you began your relationship. I am in a similar position and am trying to be a godly wife and keep praying that it will win him over in its own way.

You have no idea how encouraging this is for me, and how grateful I am that I came across this column today.

I respectfully disagree with all of you. I don’t believe it was God’s intention for a woman to submit to her husband as the household. Many of these beliefs and interpretations of The Word came about during the early age of corruption when religion was used establish a male dominated society.

I was inspired by Candace’s article to write and publish my opinion on the subject which you can read here: http://www.helium.com/items/1266749-submission-is-a-foul-word

Candace, though I do not agree with you, I respect your opinion and think you did a great job answering the question. I like the voice you write in and wish nothing but happiness to you and your family and the families of all your readers.

I have read the book by Debbie Pearl and it is awesome. I found that if I read a part I did not like or agree with checked my spirit and guess what…it was ugly, old pride rearing its ugly head…it will help you throughout your marriage, now and years to come

Candace

Great response, after 27 years of marriage I know this is true - but I had years of bucking Gods system and the marital bruises to show for it before I figured it out. The Bible says the husband is the head of the family as Christ is the head of the church. Christ also gave His life for the church and in many ways our husbands do this for us. When the church does what it is supposed to do it reflects Christs Glory and it is beautiful. When I get submission right I reflect my husbands glory and it makes him look good - makes our family look magnificent and that is what God intended. Many promotions, etc. have come my husbands way as people marvel and respect our relationship after so many years - a rarity in he line of work he is in. Gods instructions are always for our good and the longer we resist the longer we miss out on the joy that was planned for us.

I was working out (in my head) a sermon for this coming Sunday. My husband-pastor has assigned me to talk about submission.

I have a section in my book (Stepping into the Light: You’re a Christian, what now?) on the topic and a list of scriptures to incorporate, but I was praying for something fresh to say. I decided to emphasize in my upcoming talk not just the beauty and power of submission but the idea that unless husband and wife respect each other as equals, Biblical submission is not truly possible. But I needed to know whether this was the direction God wanted me to take in my teaching.

Then I started checking Twitter messages and found one referring to this post, Cameron. God answers prayers in a wonderful way and your beautiful insights confirm for me that I’m on the right track. Praise God.

Now all I have to do is write.

I agree with you Candace.
There is a great peace that the world can not experience in a quiet submissive spirit. I’ve been married 12 years now (in December).We have gone through a lot together.
I’ve seen the Holy Spirit work in awesome ways when I submit to my husband.
The Lord takes over and transforms situations supernaturally when I simply submit to my hubby.
It’s like my attitude of being submissive is a seed for bringing forth more respect and admiration from my husband. And it all comes full circle.
Thanks for this post.
I’ll tweet about it ;o)

Blessings,
