Mark,

You say: “I agree submission is something we do. A wife is told to submit to her husband. She has to choose to do it, it cannot be demanded by the husband. God demands it, not the husband. But it is not mutual since the husband is not commanded to submit to his wife, as to the Lord. This is why ‘mutual’ is not effective to communicate what you believe.”
And…
you also said: “Yes my wife and i are included in Eph 5:21 since we are both members of the Christian community. We are included in the ‘one another’ as are all Christians in the Church. We will submit to those in the Christian community that God places over us.”

But here your own call for consistency in Bible exegesis goes out the window. Because by your exegesis, YOU are not submitting to “one another” but only to *“some others”*.

So please explain why for YOU, “one another” does not mean “one another” but only “some to others?”
