"Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words

by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

@Ferise1 What is slavery? Can you give a definition of it?

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@hippyjoe1955 submission, humiliation, stupidity, darkness

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Ferise1 Submission and the rest are not related. A woman can submit to her husband without being humiliated or being stupid or live in darkness. My wife submits to me. She loves it and finds it extremely freeing. She sparkles with joy when submitting. She is also a very smart woman in her own right.

@hippyjoe1955 yeah lm sure that’s correct. The way you argue is dominant and humiliating.

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@Ferise1 And you argue?????? Too funny. Son we all make our point. The facts of my wife are facts. She loves being the submissive in the relationship and finds great fulfillment in doing so. It is not slavery. She wants it. She needs it. She thrives in it.

@SpiritualMan The way it works is we don't whittle away at the teachings of the Bible. We try to adapt our life to its teachings.

@SpiritualMan Which you have NOT done. You have just excused any woman who chooses not to submit. All she needs is to claim that she fears abuse.

@SpiritualMan Define abuse. The excuse has more holes than Swiss cheese. Your logic make the Bible about as valuable as a screen door on a submarine.

@hippyjoe1955 my wife learned to respect me because at first she would disrespect the shit out of me because women grow up without the possibility of being punched in the face. But l wouldn’t say she’s submissive, we’re equals.

@Ferise1 My wife was convicted in her spirit that submitting was good for her soul. She has since become more submissive as the years progressed because she liked what she got out of being the one submitting. She didn't want to be the leader. She doesn't want to be the head of the house. She wants to follow my lead and do the things I suggest.
