Examining Ephesians 5:22–24, this study focuses on the role of the wife in a Spirit-filled marriage. It instructs wives to submit to their own husbands as to the Lord. The study clarifies that submission is a voluntary act of deference, not a sign of inferiority or a synonym for obedience. It is a response to the husband’s headship, which is a role of servant leadership modeled after Christ’s relationship with the Church. This submission is limited by a husband’s authority and never requires a wife to sin. The study emphasizes that the submission of a wife is a powerful testimony to the gospel.
