You think that means sexually ? Because I would venture to say women are not to submit sexually to God ? And yes they forget all the verses that are telling men how to behave . I had a friend who used to totally diss on this verse , claiming women's liberation type talk and I tried to explain to her that if the husband was following ALL of God's rules for him, being an absolute angel on earth and pure in every thought and action, as the husbands are told, then wives would be happy to ' submit ' because they would feel that the husband would never make a wrong choice or a wrong rule or a demand. So, if the husband is as near to Christ like as he can be, he would never ASK for sex from an exhausted mother of 18 kids when she's not in the mood to. It would NOT happen. Becuase he respects her and honors her and wants her to be happy and content at all times. But , sadly, husbands are not like that , are they ? Sorry , dudes. We're not submitting to your nonsense !
I always think of the little gold star stickers I had in kindergarten that the teacher put on a chart for good behavior. This one may require some investigating.
And sidenote, I was just thinking of all the Duggar rules that Josh does break, why not break the masturbating rule once in awhile and give that wife a break? kwim
