The other day a friend of mine asked me how i can put a glass full of water up-side-down and i cdnt think of a way...even when he told me to think simple.

Colossians 3:18-19: Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

Ephesians 5:22-33:Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Well Surealligator, I believe the reverse works better. A husband who loves his wife (and shows it by action) will more ofter than not receive submissiveness from her. My argument is, how can I not submit to a man who is good to me, loves me and shows it to me, it is an automatic reaction. On the contrary, failure to love me (hence failure to exhibit related actions) will be met with same reaction, read zero submissiveness.
