Do you come out of a Christian background?
Do you know what we're talking about?
It's about Jesus Christ first and foremost.
But then he says in that passage, which you want to unpack, husbands love your wives.
And then he says to wives submit, first of all, excuse me, I misdid that, submit to your husbands, hupotasso is the Greek word, and then husbands love your wives.
That's the sequence.
Then he concludes with husbands love and wives respect.
And I thought, wait a minute, why does he say husbands love, wives submit?
Because he had said they submit, love, you should be, wait a minute, love, submit, but he says respect.
Then I went over to Peter.
Peter says, you wives, hupotasos, submit to your husbands, and if any of them are disobedient to the word, they can be won by your respectful behavior.
Why doesn't he say submissive behavior?
Because he started with submission, but then he says respect.
And one day it hit me.
Here's what the scripture is saying.
I submit to Sarah's need to feel loved for who she is when we're having heated fellowship in a doozy of a conflict.
I submit to her need to feel loved.
The first and foremost definition of submission for wife is submitting to your husband's need to feel respected when you don't feel respect for him.
that you respectfully address the issues that are upsetting you.
That's what submission first and foremost is in the apostle's mind, both Paul and Peter, the text is very clear.
