What Honors the Lord?

What Honors the Lord?

Husbands love your wives. Wives submit you to your husbands. (Ephesians)

These probably aren't the most popular verses in the bible. My college girls and I have been talking quite a bit about these verses and WHY should we submit ourselves? We aren't less important than our husbands!! Here are a few conclusions we have come to...

*Husbands love their wives and wives submit to their husbands, the two actually aren't that different! It's easy to submit to a man who loves his wife and puts her first.

*We still have to submit even if he isn't loving us well or putting us first. This honors the Lord.

*Christ was willing to submit to the Father. If he was willing, shouldn't we be?

*When picking a mate, choose wisely. This make the journey much easier.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and practical ideas for loving our husbands by submitting to them.
