God created an order, and I need to be obedient and follow it!
I'm not treated like nothing. I have nice clothes to wear, a nice house, servants to boss around, and a loving husband. I would happily do whatever my husband asks me to do; however committing suicide is against God's law and thus, my godly husband would never ask me to do so. I have standards, and they were created by me, my father, and the Bible. And I can disagree, but I don't have to voice it. My husband is the head of the household. Traditional marriage has worked for eons, throughout all sorts of change, and it shouldn't and won't change with the 21st Century. I'm happy and fulfilled in my marriage and isn't that what all of us want?
Yours in Christ,

I guess if you're happy with being below him, then that's fine. Being third in command, instead of second in command
just because I was a woman would probably make me upset. If I was in your shoes, I'd want to be treated as an equal to my husband, but I'm not a Christian or a lady. :shrug:
You're right. Being happy and fulfilled in your marriage is important, and if that's how you want it, then have it.
