Sophyrocks:it also said women are the weaker vessels. If you look at the thread for husbands,a husband is supposed to love his wife unconditionally no matter what,that also involves honouring her. |

donpeey22:That's basically what it is. Nothing to do with who is more intelligent, or who makes more money. Recognizing that the husband is the head, leader, and administrator of the home is the concept of submission. How the woman chooses to go about her interpretation of submission is where wisdom comes in, which is basically what stooping to conquer entails as mentioned in the OP. 4 Likes |

Lateralmaths: Yes. Unconditional love and honour were mentioned seperately in the bible. That word "Honour" means Deep respect, high regard. just as men love to be respected women also want to be treated the same and that is what the bible is saying. Im trying to let you know that respect is for both sexes. 4 Likes |

carefreewannabe: hehehe. seriously i do not have a problem with that word "submission". But i have a problem with the constant harping on that word by many and the interpretation of it by insecure men who are not confident within themselves. |
Re: A Wife's Greatest Weapon. by Nobody: 6:24pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
Sophyrocks: I do have a problem with this word and the men who are obsessed with this word. Now that everyone knows, stay away from Carefree. |

crackhaus:Then my earlier opinion still stands because if I were a woman, I will never yield to or be led by a man who is less intelligent than I am. At best we could be equal partners with equal rights to decision making in the relationship, but to let such man alone decide what holds in the family is a recipe for disaster. No wonder why so many homes are in shambles. It is just like saying that in an organization a man must be the MD simply for the mere fact that he is a man while there are more intelligent women who are better qualified to hold such positions. 6 Likes |

donpeey22:If after my earlier comment you still ended up typing the bold texts, then you're definitely still missing it by a long shot. However, why did that woman agree to marry a man less intelligent than she is only to hold it against him after the wedding? She didn't know he was less intelligent, no? 3 Likes |

donpeey22:then why did she marry him. does she know the role of a husband? |
Re: A Wife's Greatest Weapon. by Nobody: 6:56pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
Honestly, the best guide for christian women making the right choices of partners is to marry a man they can easily be submissive to. If a man has traits that would make submissiveness very difficult, do not marry him. For me, a cheat or a brute or an irresponsible man who has no respect for women and who isnt well grounded spiritually isnt in my bucket list. submission would be extremely difficult for me to such a man. 3 Likes |

Sophyrocks: Whether he is an angel or the devil himself does not matter. What matters is my understanding of a relationship. For me a healthy relationship is one that is based on an equal footing and not a slave / master, servant / boss something. All decisions will be made based on consensus and the consensus will be reached after we have TOGETHER carefully considered the pros and cons, the costs, the efficiency and legitimacy. The only exception will be made when a decision requires expert knowledge, which I lack or vice versa. If he, for example, is a computer expert and we want to buy a new computer, he can make the decision because he is an expert and not because he has got a joystick. If a decision requires expert knowledge that he lacks but I have, then he should trust me. I don't need a head, I have my own and I don't need a leader, I know the way myself. We can support each other in the journey called life but you are not my daddy, not my master and not my boss. We are best friends and partners or we will go our separate ways. 7 Likes |

Lateralmaths:Well if a lady knew from courtship that her man is so interested in her being submissive to his whims and yet went ahead to marry him despite knowing that he is not intelligent enough to make better decisions on their behalf, then she has the blames. 2 Likes |

carefreewannabe:do you need a husband or a partner? |
Re: A Wife's Greatest Weapon. by Nobody: 7:24pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
Lateralmaths: I don't need neither, at best I want one. And my husband, if I ever decide to get married, should be my partner. Husband = partner + best friend, don't know what your definition of a husband is. 1 Like |

Lateralmaths: The role of the husband is to be there for his wife, to love, respect and support her and the role of the wife is to be there for her husband, to love, respect and support him. They should be each other's biggest fans and most sincere critics. They should also be like best friends. 3 Likes |
