![]() The Bible teaches that, in the Spirit, women are equal with men, and each must submit unto Jesus as their spiritual head. We need to understand the proper role of submission in marriage so that our homes will be harmonious and free of contention. There are Scriptures that give us a guideline as to how far any human being is to submit to another. That is why the Bible also gives perimeters to submission. However, because of the evil in some men’s hearts a person under their authority can be abusive and a submissive person can be asked to do things that they do not believe is right. He wants us to lovingly submit to Him and to each other. God never forces someone to follow Him nor does He want us to be forced to follow or yield to another human being. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37). Our first submission should be unto the Lord. Submission to another’s wishes is an attitude of the heart done willingly, while surrender is yielding by being forced to do so. What is the definition of submission? It is yielding to another’s desires without resistance.
