Impacting the Home: A Biblical Blueprint
In writing that wives should submit to their husbands, Paul isn't saying they're slaves, he's continuing his earlier thought that we should all submit to one another out of respect for Christ. Wives need to respond to the husband's leadership and treat him with respect. And when he says husbands love your wives, it's with a deliberate, unselfish love that inolves sacrifice and nurturing her. By following God's plan for husbands and wives, they can become one in their relationship.

Marriage By Design
In a day when the place and value of marriage is attacked by some and questioned by many, the Bibles teaching regarding the beauty and mystery of marriage seems out of place. And especially when such politically incorrect ideas as headship and submission part of the discussion. Yet these are the very characteristics that God calls for in the marriages of his people. We will examine why these are so important in order for our marriages to be all that God ordained. Most foundationally, marriage is the doing of God. And ultimately, marriage is the display of God. It displays the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his people to the world in a way that no other event or institution does. Marriage, therefore, is not mainly about being in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. And staying married is not about staying in love. It is about keeping covenant and putting the glory of Christ’s covenant-keeping love on display. (John Piper, This Momentary Marriage)

Submit to the Poor and Marginalized
In every culture there are the “widows and the orphansâ€, that is, the helpless, the undefended. Our responsibility is to be among them, to know and be known by them. We must discover ways to genuinely identify with the marginalized.
