Since there’s been so much dissension and confusion over the topic of Biblical Submission on this blog lately, I thought I’d write a little bit more on this widely misunderstood topic. I’ve created a short report called A Practical Guide to Understanding Biblical Submission. I hope it’ll answer some of your questions, disspell some common myths, strengthen your resolve, and/or help you communicate this concept to others.
The guide covers the following topics:
- What is Biblical Submission?
- What’s the Foundation of It?
- What’s the Purpose of It?
- Why Do We Struggle with It?
- What Are the Benefits for Following It and the Detriments for not Following It?
- What are the Common Misconceptions and Lies Surrounding It?
I’ve kept the guide short so you can read it in one sitting if you’d like. The reading material is only 6 pages long, so please know I did not go into great depths on all the topics I’ve outlined, I’ve merely written a brief overview.
Live a poured out life for Christ,

Now bloggers, it’s time to link up your posts!
I’m looking for posts on any and all things related to being a wife, i.e. homemaking ideas, ways you minister to your husband, dating ideas, and/or hearing what the Lord is telling you about your most important earthly relationship!

Thanks for addressing this important yet controversial topic. Submission is easier when the husband loves self-sacrificingly, as the Bible commands. Thanks for hosting & God bless!
I downloaded your free guide and am looking forward to the read. I agree with you that this is a widely misunderstood concept and the only way to share truth on the matter is to seek God’s widsom. Thank you for time and effort in this area- I believe Christian women of today can appreciate that sincerely.
Go to my blog. See for yourself what forgiveness can do. Not only for yourself, but for your family.
Best book I ever read. Love and Respect

Stood for my marriage three long and heartbreaking years. Now we are better than ever.
Thanks Jolene for sticking with this “sticky” subject!!

Wonderful guide for those who don’t understand submission
I loved this and the other one that got much debate. I read through a few of those comments and they were actually helpful (once I forced myself to get past the anger of some of the women). I find myself being that selfish woman who thinks “I’m not gonna be nice if he’s not”. That has been a huge problem in my marriage. My flesh wants what it wants and I have to die to it daily and I fall way short more then I care to admit. So, thank you for this Jolene. I found it very helpful, insightful, and wise.
