Managing Relationship: Submission

Sadly, we have found ourselves in a generation where submission has been modernized. Many don't even want to hear the word submit. Immediately their guards are let up! They become defensive. Because of erroneous teaching on the subject, some have decided to throw away the baby with the bath water. Submission is emphasised at weddings as a law rather than a tenet of faith that is mutual. The issue of submission is drummed in the ears of young brides leaving out the importance of Christ being the head of the man. It takes being submitted under the headship of Christ as a man (husband) to have your wife give submission willingly and freely without mandating it. Sarah was able to obey Abraham, calling him lord because she trusted in God and the structure He has put in marriage and because the man has also submitted to the leadership provided in Christ.
