Ephesians 5:22-23

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." -Ephesians 5:22-23



I love this. I think marriage is so beautiful. I'm not a feminist in the slightest. I think wives submitting their husbands is Godly. I'm obsessed with this idea.



Random thoughts, I apologize. It's been a rough week and this chapter in Ephesians has been on my heart for a few days now.
