Dan,
This is what I was refering to.....
18 Wives be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly23 Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for
the Lord and not for your masters, 24 since you know that from the lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you serve the lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid
back for whatever wrong has been done, and there is no partiality Colossians chapter3
22 Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior.
24 Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for her, 26 in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word, 27 so as to present the church to himself in splendor, without a spot or wrinkle
or anything of the kindyes, so that she may be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. 29 for no one ever hates his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 for this
reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two will become one flesh. 32 this is a great mystery, and I am applying it to Christ and the church. 33
Each of you, however, should love his wife as himself and a wife should respect her husband Ephesians chapter 5
1 Wives, in the same way, accept the authority of your husbands, so that, even if some of them do not obey the word, they may be won over without a word by their wives conduct, 2
when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair, and wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing; 4 rather, l4et your
adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in gods sight. 5 it was in this way long ago that the holy women who hoped in
God used to adorn themselves by accepting the authority of their husbands. 6 Thus Sarah obeyed and called him Lord. You have become her daughters as long as you do what is
good and never let fears alarm you. 7 Husbands in the same way, show concidersation for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the weaker woman as the weaker sex,
since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may hinder your prayers 1 Peter Chapter 3
11
let a woman learn in silence with full submission. 12 I permit no woman to teach or have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and
holiness, with full modesty 1 Timothy Chapter 2
1 But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine. 2 Tell the older men to be temperate, serious, prudent, and sound in faith, in love, and endurance. 3 Likewise, tell
the older women to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanders or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good, 4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their
husbands, to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled, chaste, good manners of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be
discredited. 6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects a nobel of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, 8 and sound
speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us Titus Chapter 2
Is a women a liberal or a feminist if she doesn't want to live her life in this manner, or under these constraints? I personally would hate to think that God thought of my daughters as such secondary human beings.........
