Also, submission to one another, that is to every believer.
I'd like to share a short technical point. The word submission in Greek means to be in an orderly relationship.
What that means is there is not a relationship between two people, but between three, you, me, and the Lord.
I have to line up with the Lord for a right relationship with you!
I heard of a man that commanded his wife to go out and commit prostitution so that they could bring in extra money. And the wife was devastated because some of her friends were saying that she had to obey her husband in all things according to the bible.
In the book of Acts, the disciples said to the ruling Sanhedrin when they said we will not allow you to preach any more in this man's name, and they said whether it's right to obey you rather than God, or God rather than you, you decide. We're going to obey God!
To be in an orderly relationship means that I can submit and function with my wife, but if she puts me in a position to sin against my Lord and violate His word, if I were to obey that, I would be out of order.
It's a little confusing but it has to do with lining up with people in the Lord.
So when it says submitting yourselves to one another, it means line up with one another in the Lord. I think that applies to all believers, husbands and wives included.
Husbands, one way to love your wives more is to be submissive to the Lord at His gentle promptings. We can be lambs, which helps our wives to be kind too. Happy is the home where the Love of God is first. The world teaches toughness and practicalness, the end effect is shallowness in our love for one another.
