I am new to the "Submissive wife" thing. Anthony and I have been married for almost 10 years and are just now starting to figure it out. For us, it is a mutual respect for God and each other. I want to be the wife that deserves respect, love and trust and he wants to be the husband that deserves the same. To do this, you must put God first. Everything else falls into place for us. I have also just come to understand that Anthony, my husband, will be held accountable to God for my actions as well as our children's reactions. This astonished me. I never looked at it like that before. As soon as I learned of these verses in the Bible, it made me look at my choices differently. I don't want to do anything to cause him to stumble. I want to aid him in being our family leader. That is submission to me. It's still a very large work in progress for us though, lol.
One of the things that I appreciate the most is Sara's statement that she doesn't want to do anything to cause her husband to stumble. I think that is something that all wives should consider. Are we helping our husbands or causing them to stumble.

This is such a hard thing to learn and deal with in today's world. We assume that being a woman means we are inferior or have less worth. Not at all true!!
