Personally, I don't feel that most women would submit to any man's authority, as most are of a reprobate mind. Therefore, they put unrealistic expectations on a man, claiming that "if this man loved me the way Christ loved the church", I'd submit. It doesn't work that way. A woman is to submit to her husband in all things. She is to obey him. God's word says so much. Modern women, even many, perhaps a majority that attend church, claim that they'd never submit, or they claim they'd submit if he is worth submitting to. God tells you frankly to submit. The man doesn't have to pat your ego and be all lovey-dovey dough-eyed with you to show you that he loves you, or for you to support him.

There are good and decent Christian women out there. Naturally, they do submit to Jesus, and in Faith, they submit to their husbands. It is up to the pastor to remove those others--the satanic false Christian women--from the church.
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" 2 Cor 6:14
In the name of the Lord,
If submission is unqualified on the part of the woman, then the command for the man to love his wife is equally unqualified. Moreover, older women are told to teach younger women this. The information isn’t supposed to come primarily from a man, let alone from some random guy bitching about the ebil wimminz on the internet.
The OP and others like him shouldn’t concern themselves with what they see as the woman's part, but rather they should attend to the rules governing their own behaviour or are they so perfect the only thing they can work on in their marriage is pecking at their wives?
Men who interfere with their wives the way this guy suggests should not marry until they’re more mature.
I think I've said this before here, but here goes again:
I am the boss of my home, and I have my wife's permission to say this.
"Personally, I don't feel that most women would submit to any man's authority". Neither do I. Neither would I. I wouldn't have any respect for a man who demands submission, nor for a man who waved a bible and said "B-b-but GOD said...". I chose a man as a partner, not as a boss. No submission on the part of either of us.
Your God is a Dalek.

OBEY! OBEY!
You know, had my mother submitted to my father then me and my brother would either have starved or been taken into care.
Just because someone's got a penis doesn't mean they are automatically deserving of respect. This guy doesn't want to put the effort into his relationships so he trots out the 'women must obey men because the Bible says so' line.
Georgia as in the country? Because if you are from the state of Georgia, why do you need to state it twice in your handle?
As for your screed, it makes even less sense.
Personally, if I were married and my wife started obeying my every whim, I would start wondering if maybe I'm being buttered up until I mysteriously die of poison, with my wife getting the money.
Ok, if so, why did Paul bother to put that men should LOVE their wives? And second, with that attitude, don't be surprised when women leave the church
My ex's buys all this bullshit, submitting herself completely to an abusive husband who has gone so far as to take on a second "wife." He uses scripture to justify his behavior, and she goes along with it. Worse still, the second woman has a 6 year old daughter being raised to take the same behavior in side. The best part of being divorced is living without contact or care about that man.
most women ... put unrealistic expectations on a man, claiming that "if this man loved me the way Christ loved the church"
Right! Everybody knows this is one of the most common phrases women use to describe their relationship. They invoke Christ and the church. Sure. You hear it all the time, especially when young girls get together. WhatsApp even has an emoticon for just this phrase. Really!
Yes, the wife should submit. IF the husband shows that he can handle that responsibility. If the husband is willing to submit to the wife, then that's fine. If the husband is abusive, then the wife has every right to do what she needs to for her own safety, and that of her children.

The Church of England is what the authoriser of your 'Christian Bible' was head of in the past, Jerky. Also, Queens Elizabeth I & II ; the Protestant monarchs of my country being the head of the Church of England. Your argument is invalid.
As mere Prince , Philip submits to his wife - the head of the Church of England - Queen Elizabeth II. She is also head of so many aspects of our armed forces too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
