@robosoldier11 Submission for the wife and sacrifice for the husband are the most foundational blocks of building a marriage. Meaning a Christian marriage (secular marriage is a joke). The literal first instruction by God is wives submit to your husbands as the church submits to Christ and husbands love your wives as Christ loves us. How does that translate to the real world? The husband ALWAYS has the best interest of the family when making decisions. The wive ALWAYS submits to the decision of the husband. No ifs and buts. Arguments will arise but in the end the wife must understand that she needs to respect and follow the husband's decision aka submit to him.

@Beefster09 You're right and wrong at the same time. The duties of the wife are delegated by the husband and even then the husband can overstep them. That's what submission is and that's what the Bible teaches us. Mutual respect is also a weird concept. The marriage structure is for the wife to submit as we submit to Christ and the husband to love as Christ loves us. There are no ifs and buts. Submission isn't picking and choosing. The entire point of submission is even if the wife wholeheartedly disagrees with the husband, she still obeys and follows his decision. Why? Because the entire point is that the husband loves the wife to the point of sacrifice, meaning that HE knows what's best for her and the family since he is the leader. Now if by "I don’t think it’s entirely accurate to say that the husband is the leader in all things" you mean that the husband might give the wife authority over certain aspects of the household (from the spending of the household, to where the kids go to school etc) then I agree. But it always comes down to the decision of husband on whether the wife gets authority on those things and as I said, the husband still have the ability to override her authority.

@VioletDeathRei Obviously. Infidelity is literally the only reason the Bible gives allowing divorce. The church also sometimes allows it for other extreme behaviors (heavy abuse, abandonment). The vows are there to be followed. Let's take it the other way. The wife refusing s3x from the husband is also breaking her vows of submission and belonging. If she continues even after being counselled by the priest of their congregation then what choice does the husband have other than to commit adultery or divorce? Do you even blame the husband at that point? Which is the entire point that the Bible calls for the submission of the wife to the husband. Now that it isn't a requirement we have so many marriages with dead bedrooms. Something that inevitably results in divorce or infidelity.
