I came here totally expecting to find a bunch of angry comments against the biblical passage, but not a one.I’ll say it anyway.“Wives be submissive to your husband” …the word submissive means to ‘be under the mission of’. The husband is later told to be Christ to his wife, and love her as Christ loved His bride the church. He died for her. So in short, the wives is to help the husband die for her. Husband’s are to be the kind of man who will die to his selfishness and own desires for his wife (and family), and the wife should be the kind of woman he will desire to die and sacrifice for.That is the true meaning of that phrase. It has nothing to do with dominance.

First time I ever saw anyone stand up to BB. But, the guy will likely need medical help in very short order.

A friend used to say, “Adam ate the apple so in punishment God created EVE.” He would say this in front of his wife.

Wouldn’t it be funny if that turns out to be the correct translation.

Digging hubby in the ribs with sharp elbows is prob the inspiration for that particular idea.

Obligatory “well, lots of men make alot of noise and speak too loudly and too much”.
However, I once waited tables in a room full of women having “women’s day dinners”.
The sound still haunts me to this day. The cackling… the screams… the extremely high-pitched, loud, hysterical laughter… the horror…
