SUBMIT

Wives, submission is not…
…Agreeing on everything (voiceless, blind trust, inferiority)
…Living or acting in fear
…Putting the will of your husband before the will of God.

A healthy marriage takes submission.

God’s purpose for marriage between a man and a woman is to be a picture of the covenant relationship between Christ and His Bride, the Church!

He gave up his life for her!

Agape–unconditional, sacrificial love.
