I truly don’t understand the friction that this discussion (and many like it) generates.

Why are some Christians opposed to the notion of mutual submission in marriage? What do they perceive are the problems of mutual submission? Do we even understand what submission is?

Perhaps submission is just the opposite of rebellion.

I few times in the NT the word for submission (hypotasso) is used with an alpha prefix. (This is equivalent to an “un”, denoting the opposite.) The KJV translates this word as “unruly” in Titus 1:6 & 10. The NIV translates it as “rebellious”. (This word is also used in 1 Timothy1:9.)

I continue to believe that mutual submission is God’s ideal in the marriage relationship.
