Submission isn't obedience through oppression
Submission is the act of the will!
No one can force anybody to submit to them - if someone is forced to do something (even if they should be doing it, but aren't until forced) it is no longer submission, but oppression and subjugation.
The Bible commands every wife to submit to their husbands, but this submitting isn't something her husband should force upon her, this submitting should be something the woman chooses to do according to her will - it is a command and a woman should gladly submit and always submit, but only within a Biblical context. If a husband asks a wife to do something which is contrary to Scripture, then the wife has to say no - that is not being unsubmissive, that's being obedient to God's word! God should always have precidence!
Every Christian should submit to God and every wife should submit to her husband according to God's word! Although this is a tricky and difficult thing to do at times! *sigh* I think I'm only getting to grips with this concept after 20 years of marriage!
