“When husband and wife disagree, and they seek to find common ground by understanding where the other is coming from—that is submission.”
GREAT! Imagine this attitude in all conflicts…
peace.

Prior to marriage, I did not like that passage… but once married it never bothered me again. my dh loves me and cares for me. I can’t even think of a time I had to ‘submit’ to him in the 21st century view of the word – unless you count going out for Chinese last night when I wanted Mexican

One priest once told our parish that submission was made of two roots–sub, meaning under and missio, meaning mission. A wife should be under the same mission as her husband.

For most of the the answers are eat, sleep and cover up–we are submissive to our bodies–except when our bodies are telling us that they need that 5,000 calorie supreme gloopy sundae.
