Comments on: Put It Into Practice: Submission http://riseofthehome.com/2009/09/28/put-it-into-practice-submission/ God saved our fallen home from the sin of adultery and showed us how to love again. Through his mercy and grace, we’re helping others to overcome and build their marriages through the perfection of Jesus’ love.

We ladies need to learn self control. Can you refrain from nagging your husband because he doesn’t do what you want him to do? Are you able to help your husband with a task he sets for your family, even when you despise it? Can you do it cheerfully? Our curse is not about controlling our husbands. It’s about controlling our DESIRE to control and lead the family. I challenge you to release your husband to lead your home by controlling yourself. [...]

What a powerfully relevant blog you have, and I pray many marriages are helped through your testimony.
Another verse I like to refer wives to is Proverbs 21:11 “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” If God is sovereign over kings, He is also sovereign over husbands. My duty is to obey my husband and trust God with the results.

The answer is found in 1 Peter 3:1-2 “Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.”

I believe that in our marriages (whether we are married to a believer or not) we are in submission to God first and then directly to our husbands. So, I would definitely run all questions through that filter. Is your husband asking you to submit in something that is in contradiction to what God has asked you to do? If so, then you obey God first. If it does not violate God’s will for you, then you obey your husband and pray that God works it out best for your faith.

This is a great article that I found about this topic. Just some quick reminders and encouragements when going through this struggle. http://ezinearticles.com/?Married-to-an-Unbelieving-Spouse:-Shine-Your-Light&id=268150

Its soomething that I do struggle with. I have a really hard time with it because I am so strong willed and extremely independent. I know right now I am not leading a good life and not submitting myself whole heatedly to god. I am yearning to build my relationship and get back on track. I have been back sliding for months now. I have a serious question about this post though. What if your husband is not a christian? How far do you really submit?
