Ephesians 5:20-21, I recommended itseveral times before, you never
responded.

Male and female submit to each other.
This does not mean subservience, it means service.
It's the same 100-100 percent discussion we had before.
50-50 relationships don't work, because they are
selfish.  Relationships in which each respects the other
100 percent of the time do work, they are based on
love and service to each other.
The husband and wife promise to love, honor, and cherish.
"Submit" means to give in, to give and take, to sometimes
say "OK, I'll do it your way."  It also means to contribute
100 percent of ones effort to the health and hapiness
of the family.

Why do so many who comment in these threads
think it means anything else?  What are you afraid of?

And that is also why a partnership that does
not include a real promise is destined to break
up.
