Submission Isn't Just For Wives
One of the most hated teachings in the Bible is found in Ephesians 5:22-24, where wives are commanded to submit their husbands as to the Lord. The husband is identified as the head (leader) of his wife, and the wife is commanded to submit to him "in everything." Many women resent God and the Bible for this verse because they think it is proof that God loves women less than men, and that the Bible is chauvinistic. But that's not the case.
It's important for women to realize that submission isn't just for wives. Every Christian is called to live in submission to someone.
