That the nature of that submission that a Christian wife offers her husband is a model/type/shadow/representation of the sort of submission the Church is to offer Christ.

Tiffany,
Do I understand you correctly – how wives (are to) submit to their husbands, is how the church is to submit to Christ? Is that what you are saying? If this is correct then you are saying that the church can learn how to submit to Christ by seeing how christian wives submit to thier husbands? So wives aren’t to submit as the church submits to Christ really, but rather the church is to submit to Christ as wives submit to their husbands??
