We sometimes don't want to talk about submission. It seems demeaning to us. But when we realize the context, it becomes easier to understand.
Wives submit to your husbands. God has provided a special blessing to you ladies - your husband. He's not perfect. Perhaps he is far from it. But God has given him to you. He is part of you and you are part of him. Submitting doesn't mean that you are giving up all of yourself but that you are yielding yourself so that together God can have His way through the two of you. Your wants aand desires are part of your husband and he should be sensitive to them as he is leading.
As is fitting in the Lord. This is not some that constrains us, but something that we rise up to. It is not as if we are little girls trying on Mommy's high heels and stumbling about as we try to walk. No, we are growing into them as we and our husbands grow into being the couple that God wants us to be. Isn't that beautiful?
