You wives must submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.
When a wife submits to her husband, it doesn't make her less valuable than her husband and it doesn't make a husband more valuable than his wife. Maxwell Droke once wrote a story about a very young girl who was taking an exam. Question 1 asked her to very simply, "Give an account of the creation of man." The little girl thought it through and then wrote her response: "First, God created Adam. He looked at Adam and said to Himself, 'I think if I tried again I could do better.' So He created Eve." It is unfortunate that the battle between the sexes rages on as marriages and relationships struggle. Ultimately, God created men and women to be equal, but with differing roles. Submission is something that we all must do at some level to complete what is lacking in any type of relationship. When two become one under a relationship, the individuals involved become stronger because one person's strengths should offset the other person's weaknesses and vice versa. We all need to keep in mind that in order for us to make any kind of relationship strong and successful, everybody has to realize to whom they must submit and then make the proper submissions.
