@nikkilaoye: “🤦🏽♀️This is why many marriages are not working..no fun, no laughter,no friendship .. You are supposed to be two friends in love,building a family of God right here on Earth…
don’t get me wrong..yes it is wonderful and important for the wife to submit to your husband and also important the husband must also love his wife as Jesus loves the church…both have work to do daily to make the marriage work. It is not a one way thing,it’s a partnership and submission is not bondage or a prison sentence. It’s not a slave and master mode…we submit daily to Jesus and He loves us Unconditionally and sacrificed his life for us…let him be our example..Where there is Love, there is beautiful easy submission.”
