Submit in Love
Submission does not involve passively following what everyone else says or does. To submit within the context of its use in Scripture entails putting the needs of others above our own. We can do this because of our reverence for Christ and because we see how He put our needs before His own wellbeing. Jesus not only put our lives above His, but He also called us to do likewise and promised to take care of all our needs.
We have an example to follow and an assurance that He will always be with us, ready to catch us and care for us. Within the bond of marriage, the Bible is very clear that we are to submit to each other and put the needs of our spouses above our own. This provides a clear picture of Christ’s love to anyone privy to the union, and it also creates harmony and safety for both husband and wife.
