According to the word of God marriage is a Holy Union between a man and a woman,god looks upon marriage in importance 2nd only to him and the son of man.Marriage is looked upon by our creator as an expression of gods love for his children,also so as not to break gods laws on having relations outside of marriage.
There are only 2 reasons for a marriage to end,one of coarse is death,the other is adultery,there are no other reasons mention in the bible for ending a marriage.
The roles of a husband and wife are described in the bible for the husband to become both leader of his household and spiritual leader of his household as well,the wifes role is to give advice to her husband,and tend to the day to day care of her family,a mans role is also to be the primary breadwinner of the family,also the husband should shoulder most of the families hardships,to be both a godly and wise leader of his household.
This does not however mean a husband has total control of the home,that was why God gave Adam a helpmate,first part to be a helper to the man and 2nd part to be the mans mate.God looks upon all of his children as equals,both male and female,god holds his daughters up just as high as his sons
Even though the husband has been given authority over his household,God retains authority over the husband and all that dwell in the husbands household.For the word of god states that a husband is held accountable for the welfare and happiness of his spouse,god will count every tear she sheds over the husband.Furthermore a wife must also have authority in her household,both over her children and the day to day care of the family.
Husband and wife are intended by god to be partners not to be lord and servant,the wife is not the husbands servant,the wife is only a servant unto god.God commands that a husband must at all times listen to the advice of his wife,to show both respect and gratitude to the wife for the day to day care she gives to her family.

Thank you for this definition of "Submission" A woman submits to her husband as he submits to God. God guides the man to be a Godly man and husband. The husband is the spiritual leader of the house. If he is Godly why all the apprehension of a wife submitting.

Bible/KJV
Find this: >if a man puts away his wife save for fornication let him give her a letter of divorcement<

Sorry to nit-pick.

GOD bless.

Thank you for this wonderful explaination.

God bless you!

Matthew 19

1And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

2And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

3The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

6Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

13Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Thank you Think.
I replied to this when there was more in it. (the original post)

I was misquoted the Bible.

I apologize for interrupting miko1960. I was not trying to mislead or cause contention. I made a mistake.

I will re-read before opening my yapper again.

GOD bless

Its funny how the wife usually is the godly one.


Anyway.. Im grateful for the single life.. Ive not met a man who deserves MY submission.



I refuse to marry anyway.

I see that you argue the point of adultry, whereas the Bible does not restrict its interpretaions to our narrow parameters. The issue here is one of infidelity. Inifidelity refers to an active use of thought to betray trust, whereas adultry refers to an act of the physical. The entertainment of the thought of adultry is where there is a betrayal of fidelity. It is related to the Biblical counter injunction of "...as a man thinketh..". Sex is sex, physical adultry is physical adultry, but infidelity is a betrayal of sacred trust. Sacred trust is an issue of the spirit.
Guard your heart.

Well put.
