The only book I was referring to was the
WEBSTERS DICTIONARY
when referencing the definition of the word "submit" "submissive"
everyone has their own beliefs but I don't think anyone should push them on other people.. I simply was asking what you thought the definition of the word meant.. As what you are explaining and what the correct definition is are two different things..

What does it mean to be a submissive wife.
Should we be submissive wives when our husbands are alcoholics?
My XAH use to tell me that I was disobeying God because I was not a submissive wife.
Is it easier to be a submissive wife when you have a Godly husband? A husband that loves you and wants to take care of you.
Just curious. We had this conversation this weekend and it has been on my mind.
