What doe sit mean to submit to your husband? I had much of this talk in the muslim faith and hated it, the religion even goes as far as to say "A woman who does her daily prayers and pleases her husband will enter heaven". Is this the same in Christianity or can a woman be blessed directly from God. I don't like the idea of submitting to anyone but God. And if I should submit to a husband does he also submit to me?

Each person has a different way of responding to different things. I think that there are different traps for the different sexes. One thing that I find particularly challenging for guys is being the leader in the home. I think that guys can either overreact and become dictatorial or they can get trampled. In the case of this post, I was addressing the problem that guys have in doing what they're supposed to because they feel that they cannot approach their wife with something that they see. In a broader sense, you're right. If you're not helping to build each other up in God then you really aren't doing the best you can do be building each other up. You may also want to check out the companion "<a href="http://www.minthegap.com/2006/12/07/godly-husband-is-she-your-helper-or-your-slave/">Godly Husband</a>" series as I ask the question of how do men treat their wife-- is she your helper or your slave? Men have to love their wives more than they love themselves. And no, I wouldn't censor your comments even if I didn't have an answer. Hey Annabel,

You may also want to check out the companion “Godly Husband” series as I ask the question of how do men treat their wife– is she your helper or your slave?

Men have to love their wives more than they love themselves.

And no, I wouldn’t censor your comments even if I didn’t have an answer.

Where are the articles advocating a husband listening when his wife points out his erring ways on his path through life to God? But then I expect you won't publish this comment because you can have no real answer ;) annabel Stumbling on this page whilst researching domestic violence law in Victorian times, I am feeling a litle confused.

The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (Jam 5:16) Something like that... Meaning: I am not that godly as I would like to be. I do not take correction theway I should. I have become better, but it is a long way to go. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
