Submission to one’s spouse, as outlined in God’s word, reflects an attitude of humility and respect. It’s not about inferiority but about choosing to honor God’s order within the family. In a world that often values independence above all else, this call to mutual submission can seem countercultural. However, such obedience in marriage is a powerful witness to God’s design for relationships. It shows a commitment to serving and uplifting one another, reflecting Christ’s love. Through humility and faith, spouses can foster a deep, enduring connection, where love and respect thrive. Obedience in marriage is not passive; it requires intentional love, sacrifice, and understanding, aiming to glorify God by embodying His principles. As we submit to one another, we mirror the relationship between Christ and His Church, providing a foundation for a marriage that is resilient, loving, and rooted in divine truth.
James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Job 36:11
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Ephesians 6:1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Luke 6:46
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
