“However, what is to happen when a situation arises where a decision MUST be made and the husband and wife cannot agree? After prayer and fasting they continue to disagree. After looking into both sides heavily they continue to disagree. After searching the scriptures they continue to disagree. And yet a decision must be made. It is in these instances that God calls the wife to submit to the husband.”

Alex,
From a counseling standpoint, such an impasse usually indicates deeper problems in the marriage. Have you or someone you know ever had such a situation? How did that turn out when the husband made the decision in favor of what he wanted?

In a relationship it is certainly less costly to give up one’s choice in small decisions (ie. picking a restaurant for dinner, etc.), but this could be devastating in “big” decisions like: having a child, moving to a foreign country, or from the city to a remote farm.
