I would say that the heart and the brain are an example of mutual subjection, they are one body, interconnected, interdependent. AND their subjection is PASSIVE, ie there is no volition, no choice to it.

Perhaps I am still being misunderstood regarding “voluntary”/volition? I am not saying that a wife is FORCED into subjection. I am saying that she has no volition in it, she just is subject to her husband (the greek verb is PASSIVE). As a garden is SUBJECT to the gardener, without volition nor choice. The garden will flourish or die depending upon whether the gardener chooses to nourish and cherish or not. So the wife is SUBJECT to the husband in EVERYTHING (PASSIVE), and the husband is to LOVE (4 times in the IMPERATIVE).

Husbands should be sweating about this subjection, not wives.
