The Importance of Submission

September 13, 2026

Biblical submission of wives to husbands is a theological concept rooted in Ephesians 5:22–24, where wives are instructed to submit to their husbands “as to the Lord.” This submission is defined not as inferiority or blind obedience, but as a voluntary act of respect and support for the husband’s role as the spiritual head of the household.

Key aspects of this importance include:

Divine Order and Reflection of Christ: The submission mirrors the relationship between Christ and the Church, serving as a spiritual witness to God’s design for marriage rather than a statement of gender worth.
Mutual Responsibility: It operates within a framework of mutual submission (Ephesians 5:21), where the husband is commanded to love his wife sacrificially, just as Christ loved the Church, ensuring the dynamic is one of service rather than domination.
Practical Harmony: Submission is described as a way to create peace and order in the family, allowing for decisive leadership while requiring the wife to honor her husband’s decisions, even if she disagrees, provided they do not conflict with God’s laws.
Spiritual Growth: For many believers, this practice is viewed as a discipline of humility and trust in God, allowing the wife to reflect Jesus’ character through her attitude and actions toward her spouse.

What Does The KJV Bible Say?

The theological concept of a wife’s submission to her husband is a cornerstone of traditional biblical complementarianism. The King James Version (KJV) addresses this role through structural order, respect, and spiritual devotion.

Key KJV Verses on Wives’ Submission

Bible Verse (KJV)	Core Directive	Theological Focus / Context
Ephesians 5:22	“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”	Submission is rendered as part of one’s direct devotion and obedience to Christ.
Ephesians 5:24	“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.”	The relationship models the relationship between Christ and the Church.
Colossians 3:18	“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.”	Submission is framed as “fit” or appropriate within the order established by God.
1 Peter 3:1	“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won…”	Submission acts as a powerful evangelical tool to win over unbelieving or disobedient husbands.
1 Peter 3:5	“…the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands.”	Submission is linked to historical righteousness, inward beauty, and trust in God.
Titus 2:4-5	“…teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands… obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”	Domestic leadership is vital to maintaining the public integrity of the Christian faith.

10 Practical Examples of Biblical Submission

Voluntary Yielding: Choosing to step back and allow the husband to make the final decision on a major family matter (e.g., relocation, finances) after healthy discussion.
Respectful Communication: Speaking highly of the husband publicly and privately, protecting his reputation, and offering counsel gently.
Spiritual Alignment: Encouraging and supporting the husband’s role as the spiritual leader who gathers the family for prayer and scripture reading.
Shared Stewardship: Respecting the family budget and financial boundaries established together under his leadership.
Cultivating Inward Grace: Emphasizing a “meek and quiet spirit” over outward materialism or demands during disagreements (1 Peter 3:4).
Grace Under Pressure: Remaining respectful and cooperative even when a husband is making a non-sinful mistake or exercising imperfect judgment.
Trusting God Through Him: Viewing the husband’s authority as delegated by God, translating respect for the husband into an act of worship to Christ.
Nurturing the Home: Prioritizing the emotional, physical, and spiritual atmosphere of the household in alignment with his vision.
Crisis Collaboration: Yielding to his protective leadership and direction during family emergencies or high-stress situations.
Evangelistic Living: Practicing a quiet, chaste life to influence an unbelieving spouse toward Christ without relying on constant verbal nagging.

Analyst Reports: Diverse Perspectives on Submission

1. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Analyst Report

Analytical Lens: Personality Mechanics & Cognitive Functions (e.g., INTJ, INFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ).
The Assessment: From a psychological profiling standpoint, the concept of submission is highly dependent on an individual’s cognitive stack.
- Fe (Extraverted Feeling) and Si (Introverted Sensing) types (like ISFJs or ESFJs) often find comfort in biblical submission. They naturally seek social harmony, clear traditional structures, and duty fulfillment.
- Te (Extraverted Thinking) and Ni (Introverted Intuition) types (like INTJs or ENTJs) focus heavily on competence and efficiency. For these personalities, submission is only acceptable if they highly respect the husband’s competence. If a husband lacks logic or strategic capability, high-Te/Ni wives will experience extreme cognitive dissonance and internal friction trying to force submission to inefficient leadership.

2. John MacArthur Analyst Report

Analytical Lens: Strict Expositional Cessationist & Complementarian Theology.
The Assessment: John MacArthur views submission not as a cultural relic, but as an absolute, unchanging divine command. He notes that the Greek word hypotasso is a military term meaning “to arrange under.” He emphasizes that submission never implies a difference in worth, essence, or intelligence; men and women are spiritually equal before God. However, God established an anatomical order: the head guides the body. MacArthur argues that a wife’s submission must be voluntary, cheerful, and comprehensive—”in everything”—unless the husband commands her to commit a direct sin against God.

3. Jordan Peterson Analyst Report

Analytical Lens: Evolutionary Psychology, Archetypal Myth, & Societal Competence.
The Assessment: Jordan Peterson translates the biblical framework into pragmatic, evolutionary, and archetypal terms. He rejects the postmodern view that submission is strictly a tool of tyrannical patriarchy. Instead, he views it as a voluntary contract aimed at stabilizing the most fundamental unit of civilization: the family. Peterson argues that modern relationships fail because they lack structured hierarchy and responsibility. To Peterson, true “submission” from a wife is an act of trust in a husband who has accepted the heavy burden of competence, protection, and provision. It is a collaborative game where both partners voluntarily restrict their radical individualism to build a functional, resilient architecture for their children.

4. Paul Washer Analyst Report

Analytical Lens: Radical Radical Reformational Holiness & Heart-Centered Piety.
The Assessment: Paul Washer addresses submission through the lens of individual sanctification, brokenness, and the Gospel. He warns against making submission a dry legalistic rule or a weapon for demanding husbands. Washer posits that a wife cannot truly submit unless she is deeply broken before the cross of Christ. Her submission is a direct reflection of her hidden spiritual life and her fear of the Lord. He fiercely admonishes husbands, reminding them that if they do not love their wives sacrificially—even to the point of dying for them as Christ died for the Church—they have absolutely no right to demand submission. For Washer, submission is a beautiful, counter-cultural testimony of the Gospel working within a supernatural home.

Father God, Let Your Will Be Done, Not My Will mademanministries

This is a major important point about forgiveness

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.

When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.

We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.

Women are looking for a fathers love

Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.

Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.

Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)

In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.

Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church

God the father

Jesus Christ

Father (Men over women)

Mother (Women over children)

Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “³But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.

All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.

After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer

Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
