I agree, though some take this to mean that it is ok for the husbands to be abusive to the wives. It is not, the husband is to love his wife as he loves himself. The husband is supposed to be the head of the house AFTER The Lord.
In reading this I found myself remembering the many many many times of giving in to do or buy or go where I felt it wasn’t right , all for the sake of submitting and being a submissive Christian wife. I had this all so wrong in many ways.
What God taught me is I’m not to play a ‘part’ and “do” my ‘role’ in what appears right… that He … the Lord … is all about my heart and that marriage is NOT about who is right or who is wrong or doing my part right or questioning if he is….rather marriage is about LOVE! Period. Self-sacrificing love. Willing to submit myself in honesty love. Love for God…Love for the one I’m one with.
