[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 206503, member: 18224"] Christianity: Ephisians 5:22-33 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
