TL – Gengwall, what do you mean by ‘free submission’?”

Just echoing Cheryl. What I believe she is getting at is that, rather than the forced submission prevalent in the culture of the time, Paul is calling wives to freely submit to their husbands. It is a voluntary act of the will. Wives would naturally have a difficult time doing that since they had only known forced submission. So Paul needs to take extra steps to encourage them.
