Prayer Request: Not meaning to take up your time but I'd appreciate if you could all keep my family and I in your prayers as we're struggling right now. I love you all and God bless ♡
Hello Morgan Casey my name is Tudor I am from Romania and I have prayed for you (your family). Please continue to pray and read the bible on a constant basis. Please remember: Psalm 56:3 --> “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." & Isaiah 41:10 --> “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
The prayers of my family are with you and yours. This brought back yesterday's 1st reading at Mass: Ecclesiasticus 2: 1-11. Keep reading it and Hope in the Lord, He's got your back. Bless you 😀
Years ago I was a lector at an English speaking Catholic church in Belin. One Sunday I had to read this reading and the priest came to me and asked if I would have a problem reading this. I said absolutely not. He said, "I would," and walked away. I have ALWAYS thought that if my husband loves me as Christ loves the church then submitting isn't a problem. He has the harder job because Heaven knows I'm not always easy to love!
My wife told me the same thing. That It's easy for her to let me lead when I'm following Christ. She shared a doodle with me of a upside down V and our names at either side with "GOD" written at the top. The idea was that God is the place where we come together, where we are in agreement, and are humbled by God's love which in turn opens us up to eachother. Gotta keep our eyes on Jesus to maintain what we are called to be in a Christian marriage.
So true. Many women don't realize that the husband has the more difficult role and women have more power (mental strength) than the men and it is the women who dictate the tone of a marriage.
@@claireobenson6327How is having a slave more difficult that owning a slave? Maybe thinking up endless tasks for you to do while he is out working might take some time in the evening but that's it.
If it is not too much trouble, please pray for my nonCatholic alcoholic husband... it's real bad.... bad marriage. I am praying constantly, Holy Rosary, etc & offering it all up. It's practically all I think about.😢 Anyways, may God bless you all. Have a most fruitful & blessed Lent. 🙏🏼🛐☦
Throw away your rosaries and stop praying to Mary. She can neither hear nor help you. Pray to God in Christ's name. Pray for His Holy Spirit to abide in you and your husband. I have prayed for you also. God bless you.
I will sister. I have an alcoholic family member so i know what its like. You should first convince him that there is a problem because addicts cant think for themselves unfortunately, first rehab and then maintenance with love and prayer. I Hope things are better now..
@@PavlovsBob We pray to Mary because she's a gracious and tender advocate to us who'll appeal to God on our behalf, and Christ will be very pleased that we hold his holy mother in such high reverence that we're reaching out to her. Of course He makes the final decisions, but being connected to Mary will make you more connected to Him. I wonder how pleased God is with a statement such as "she can neither hear nor help you" when referring to his mother. I certainly wouldn't be happy if someone told me that my mother was powerless in such a way. You, and any other protestant who says the same are being malicious and the polar opposite of Christ-like. Do you think think he'll toss your mother to the side the way you have his? Even worse is the fact that you're doing this in His name. It's borderline heresy, and frankly, it comes from the freaking devil.
I really appreciate Jackie's description of submission as being "under the mission" of the husband, and that the wife is meant to be under the mission of a husband who will lay himself down for her. I pray that when God calls me to be a husband, I can be faithful in laying down myself for my wife and be worthy of having her under my mission.
Under the mission is not what it really means. Paul means to submit to, as normal people submit to a leader, even when you disagree. It's very difficult to find a woman who does that. Good luck.
@@CalvinGomes ok but then how do you define a leader? It's not submitting to someone bossing around. What we see in movies and unfortunately in many marriages is the man wanting the wife to serve his needs, and fulfill only his wishes. We're not meant to subject ourselves to that. The leadership in a catholic fashion means to serve as Christ. " just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life". A leader would be someone who puts my needs before his own, who protects and guards me. Knowing he has my best interests in mind, sure thing I'll be willing to submit, for while I seek his good he seeks mine. Also the submission is said to be mutual, so if there's no meakness and trying to compromise women won't feel the trust needed to submit themselves. If men need good luck finding a woman willing to submit, equally women need good luck finding a man worthy of sumbitting themselves to.
@@CalvinGomesscratch my previous comment if you caught it, the whole thing feels like a reduction and an attack. Leaving out the severity of what the guy is called to kills the whole idea.
Even if so it would be a limited duty when I was in uniform. A command to rape or to directly kill an innocent child could not be obeyed even though the authority is much wider than in a marriage. A command to take a bound and draw a snipers shot would have to be obeyed. There would be much else but certainly if a husband were to tell his wife to commit an intrinsic evil (he would be vile for doing so) and she would be expected not to act that way. No duty save for loving God is without limits.
I always thought it was weird that this was controversial. Jesus talked about serving one another, people nod their heads, but then Bible says for wives to serve husbands, and now it is an issue? Even though it tells husbands to serve wives right after? Boggled my mind growing up, especially as I grew up with parents who lived (and still live) a good, catholic marriage.
@@hitthefries "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." Sure, the words "love" and "submit" are used, but both call for service to one another. Christ loved the church by serving it, and the husband is asked to help the wife reach holiness, that is being of service to the wife. Love and service go hand in hand here. Both husband and wife serve each other, albeit by different ways at times, but we are all called to be servants.
@@nyrukdaerog3973 in that sense, sure. But your comment made it seem like they are called to do the same thing and women are being unnecessarily upset (edit: they're upset because they're at the bottom level of the 'chain', even though there's only two people). We can see here that both had different instructions.
Im sorry to disagree but "hupotassó" is the greek word used by Paul. It does not mean to be "under the mission" it means "to place or rank under, to subject, mid. to obey" according to Strong's greek internlinear bible. This is the same that Jesus did before the father. he submitted to his will and went to the cross... That doesn't mean Jesus is a lesser person of the trinity. It means he is under the submission of the Father... A women being under submission doesnt mean shes less valuble than her husband. I sumbit to my boss and that does not make his more valuble as a person.
@@claymcdermott6945 I'm sorry but her argument seems circular and self-serving. "Be under the mission of your husband giving his life for you" If i understand correctly she's claiming to have to get on board with her husband serving her(listen to 2:56 - 3:10) I don't mean that in a pejorative manner i promise. But this truly does worry me, its not proper exegesis of the text and it really corrupts the point of what Paul was trying to express. The mandate of scripture is for wives to respect and submit the authority of the husband in fact even just as the church respects the authority of the headship of Christ. In like manner the Man is love the wife not in a domineering way. Genesis 3 also expresses that the punishment for the fall of man was that the woman natural tendencies would be to go against her husband (or on going conflict between husband and wife in juxtaposition to the prefall relationship of Adam and eve) and that "he would rule over her". But i can agree with her sentiment, i just think her phraseology can be misconstrued. God bless!
@@mando_apolgetico you're right-- because it is part of the fall, and christian union between man and woman is to NOT reflect that fall. paul also called on slaves to submit to masters. he also called on women to be silent in church. but we do not impose this on people of color today saying don't oppose oppression and let's go back to slavery. yet so many people use it to tell women that a literal reading of this literally means follow the fall, the world, and dominate women. let's be clear. no where in scripture nor in catholic teaching is there any "head of the house". that is worldly concept that has almost without exception been (and still is- as in your comment) used to position the man to dominate, control, and "make decisions"- that is a slave/master model and is not the one flesh and no male/female in christ teaching of christianity. what's more, the church and the recent ecclesiastical letter of our popes have clarified: MUTUAL SUBMISSION is a godly marriage. it's so simple.

"huge responsibility"-- it is NOT the model of christian marriage. that can be one option that either spouse can use-- with mutual agreement. the woman can make unilateral decisions for the family in certain situations as can the man, as long as they both agree that is best. i lived in a community house in college with 40 people from different backgrounds and cultures, and none of us had problems sacrificing mutually for each other in order to reach consensus (yes, everyone agreeing, even if there were differing needs and opinions) on all major decisions relating to managing and running the house including three-time-rituals of changing rooms every school year. if 40 people can do that, 2 people certainly are called to set aside ego (especially the man, instead of following the world) and hear each other and become one flesh, mutually sacrificial, mutually submissive. it's so simple.
@@paigebuilli4304 I'm sorry but the teaching of "headship" is found in scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:3 "But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ". This is found in the inerrant word of God and if someone disagrees they disagree with God and his CREATIVE ORDER "for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake". For the record it is Man who is held responsible for the Fall even tho Eve ate of the fruit first. (Romans 5) and it was not Man who was deceived by the serpent but EVE as it it written in 1 timothy 2:14 " Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor" and yet MAN is responsible for Gods ordained HEADSHIP. At this point you have two options, ONE try to argue some obscure "social injustice" that no one can prove or verify or you CAN SUBMIT TO GODS WORD AND SEEK TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS PURPOSE IS. If there is something you don't like in scripture you dot remove it or redefine it to suit your desires. That is called idolatry and making a God after your own liking. And btw 1st century slavery is no way the same as the 15th century transatlantic slave trade that you are thinking of. You are reading your own understandings into the biblical texts. If you think the bible condoned slavery in any way you need to read the book of Philemon in the New testament about a slave that ran away and become a christian and returned to his Master. BLESSING :)
“That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” (Titus 2:4-5, KJV)
The late J Vernon McGee once did a sermon where one of his flock came to him complaining "Paster! My wife won't submit to me!" "Why should she?" He responded. "It says so right here!" "OH! Very good!" He responded. "BUT! Don't stop there! Keep reading! Have you loved your wife as Christ loves the Church?" He hung his head in shame as though saying "You caught me!" "Until you love your wife as Christ loves the Church, you cannot expect her to submit to you!"
Take your time and find the husband she is talking about in this video! do not settle for guys who treat you in any way except how Christ laid his life down for the church. Pray pray pray when you start dating and stay in fellowship with Christian women who have the right kind of marriages. Don’t let emotions or “love” cloud your judgement. That is the exact reason God wants us to stay holy and pure and abstain from sexual immorality. Not because God wants to keep us from doing “fun things”, but because once you get physical with someone then you catch feelings and start to overlook red flags and it clouds our judgement. Respect yourself and your body, you are wonderfully and fearfully made and so so special! God has the perfect plans for you. I wanted to respond to you because you are so young and I wish someone would have told me these things back then. God bless you sweetie!!
As someone who married the man I was with at 15, be very sure he is a good man before you commit and submit or you might find yourself like me in an abusive situation which is hard to get out of. Thankfully on the other side and happily submissive to my new partner and soon to be husband.
When we are a servants to one another life works, their is no room for self-centred loving, all of his is practise for the eternity Jesus has prepared for us.
I mean, looking back on it, it doesn't make sense that the first definition is: "Submit in bed". Thank you for showing me the full reading and explaining the true meaning because you are right, it is beautiful. As a young teen, I was pushed away from the church by adults whose minds went straight for the most perverted interpretation making marriage appear terrifying.
And to submit does not mean to submit to sin. Only to lawful command and headship. How people could think submission means that beatings or abuses of any kind are permissible if a woman is not a doormat is ridiculous. It says for men to love their wives as Christ loves us right after!
Yes, submission means "be under the mission of", not "under the slavery of". This is a great clarification. Husbands have a mission to die to self so that wife and family can live and the wife should follow, appreciate and respect what her husband does. One flesh means both spouses having a common vision and move in same direction together. It is sad how the world twists this definition and make wives scared to follow their husbands.
Not all wives are scared they just have to have respect and appreciate their husband not nag and complain the devil has twisted the word the false prophets and false idols many single women with children always ends up in trouble in school and end up being Criminals than single father Homes
Actually, the Greek word there means to be subordinate to. Literally to "line up under". It's a military metaphor, like how a soldier is subordinate to the commander. In other words, exactly in the way your pride says it simply can't be. Choosing the one particular English translation that could be most easily killed with nuance was clever.
I'm not scared to follow my husband. In fact I follow him on a lot of things. I just don't believe authority should be given to someone based on what they are rather then by the merit of their character. Authority should be earned. Even Jesus proved himself. he didn't say obey me just because, he said obey me because I proved how to live the right way. also the parable of the 3 servants who were given money by the master to go and work it. one buried it, one made three times and one made five times. he took from the one that buried and gave to the one that was the most responsible. All of life reflects this parable. if you fail and fail again you lose everything. if you succeed and succeed again you gain that much more.
@@novamouy17 Agreed. Men have to aim to become more Christ like to earn their wives submission. But wives can also change their husband's heart through a pure and reverent life and unfailing beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit. (1 Peter 3:1-5)
Part of the reason I love this channel is that it is helping not only to help recouple some bad misunderstandings I had been lead to but will also allow me to correct these things when they crop of from others. So thank you
Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent The Duties of Married People The more easily to preserve the holy state (of marriage) from dissensions, the duties of husband and wife as inculcated by St. Paul and by the Prince of the Apostles must be explained. Duties Of A Husband It is the duty of the husband to treat his wife generously and honourably. It should not be forgotten that Eve was called by Adam his companion. The woman, he says, whom thou gavest me as a companion. Hence it was, according to the opinion of some of the holy Fathers, that she was formed not from the feet but from the side of man; as, on the other hand, she was not formed from his head, in order to give her to understand that it was not hers to command but to obey her husband. The husband should also be constantly occupied in some honest pursuit with a view to provide necessaries for the support of his family and to avoid idleness, the root of almost every vice. He is also to keep all his family in order, to correct their morals, and see that they faithfully discharge their duties. Duties Of A Wife On the other hand, the duties of a wife are thus summed up by the Prince of the Apostles: Let wives be subject to their husbands. that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word by the conversation of the wives, considering your chaste conversation with fear. Let not their adorning be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: but the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God. For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord. To train their children in the practice of virtue and to pay particular attention to their domestic concerns should also be especial objects of their attention. The wife should love to remain at home, unless compelled by necessity to go out; and she should never presume to leave home without her husband's consent. Again, and in this the conjugal union chiefly consists, let wives never forget that next to God they are to love their husbands, to esteem them above all others, yielding to them in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, a willing and ready obedience. Ben Sira 26:1-3,16-19,24 [1]HAPPY is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double. [2]A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband: and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace. [3]A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. [16]The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones. [17]Her discipline is the gift of God. [18]Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul. [19]A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace. [24]As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God In the heart of a holy woman. 1 Timothy 2:9-14 [9]In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire: [10]But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works. [11]Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. [12]But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. [13]Adam was first formed; then Eve. [14]And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression. 1 Timothy 3:4-5,11 [4]One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. [5]But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? [11]The women in like manner: chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things. 1 Corinthians 11:3,7-9 [3]But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God. [7]The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. [8]For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. [9]For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man. Titus 2:3-5,9 [3]The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: [4]That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children. [5]To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed. [9]Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying: 1 Peter 3:1-7 [1]In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives, [2]Considering your chaste conversation with fear. [3]Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: [4]But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God. [5]For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: [6]As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well and not fearing any disturbance. [7]Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered. Ephesians 5:22-24,33 [22]Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: [23]Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. [24]Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. [33]Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love for his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband. Colossians 3:18-21 [18]Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord. [19]Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards them. [20]Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord. [21]Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.
My husband is tender, loving, he honors me and I have renewed my understanding of the true meaning of service to one another. Beautiful breakdown of the marriage mission. Thank you for sharing.🙏🏾❤️

You are on fire 🔥! Love it and your explanation. I am strong independent woman. I've been struggling with my study about submission. Which is why I opened this video. You explain it so well thank you. May the Lord continue to bless you and enlighten us all. Have a blessed day
@@j.p.5716 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30 A wives duty of submitting is supposed to be easy and not like slavery because we are now servents of Christ. If the man leads well like Jesus the burden will be light. Jesus is our role model and Jesus never forced anyone to follow him. He never looked down on women quite the opposite and Jesus dosen't treat us like slaves but friends! Phillipians 2:3-8 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death- even death on a cross! Does this sound like a tyrant to you who treats people like doormats? When Jesus came it was not all about him, he came to serve us and put our best interest at heart. He gave up his rights in heaven to come down and serve us. He LIVED self-sacrifice the entire time he was on earth AND sacrified on the cross. Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted" Matthew 20:24-28 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Literally he is supposed to surrender to God as a leader by taking the lowest place of serventhood, that means the descions he is making can't be to his own self interest, vain or ego, and he will be judged one day if he dosen't. Or his prayers won't be answered. 1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. The knowledge aka the christian knowledge, the gospel of how we are supposed to treat one another.
Thank you for this video!! I had just been praying for the humility to be more submissive and accepting of God's will. Moments later, I got a notification for this video! My Guardian Angel watches over me! Thank you!!
richard lawlor first Gods Will is for all to be saved 1 Timothy 2:4 KJV second it’s God’s will for us to simply obey the scriptures James 1:22 KJV as far as a specific will of God for your life that’s between you and Jesus. I have found though that the devil will not put in your heart to do anything for God. James 4:17 KJV
If you feel so called, please do it! I love watching videos on people explaining their views and bible verses that are considered controversial. We need more RUclipsrs like Jackie Francois and GirlDefined!
I so wish I would of seen this before I got married. My husband acts like he doesn’t believe anymore so he can just be a drunk. He says things about God not being real in-front of our kids. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I won’t give up though. He’ll never break my faith. ❤
I am sorry Jillian... I will keep you in my prayers! Do you have a priest you can reach out to? Maybe you could arrange a meeting or something? Sorry, it's not my place to tell you what to do, but my heart truly breaks when reading your comment ☹
Thank you for these videos! I love listening to them. I feel like you are my friend. You have given me a new perspective every time I listen to one of your videos.
Iam lost at this time because I married a ruthless person and as a man I did not lead and guide as I could have….But I really love this young lady’s interpretation…I pray there will be another opportunity for me because I will lead well ….I have learned much…., her words are a good reminder ,weather you believe or not we do have choices, and their lives a beautiful pathTo the ultimate happiness
Here is my thing. I feel like no one still defines submission. There is a big difference between a child and a submissive wife. I think some wives who are taken for granted feel like slaves. For instance, having to work, tend to the child 100%, all the cooking and household duties (except taking out the trash and occasional hanging of a picture on the wall), and being treated as your husband's personal assistant at his every beck and call, and oh sex doll.....That is why anyone would feel like a slave. But if a woman is overwhelmed because all her husband is doing is working to pay most of the bill, yet has so much free time and still demanding everything of you while he sits and plays video games or his various hobbies. That to me is like indentured servitude or lowkey slavery. And if you decline to do anything he tells you because you're overwhelmed, then he will frame you as a bad wife. And suddenly you're not submissive anymore. I do not believe that is fair but that is what a lot of women have to deal with and are told to do it with a smile. All this doesn't have much to do with love in my opinion.
It 'feels like' no one defines submission cause there's the context of Marriage and the Oath. This is a two-way agreement the higher power as the witness. If you feel your husband isn't being true to his marriage vows then call him out on it. But remember to count your blessings since there is no perfect life. You will always want more and think that the grass is greener on the other side, but that attitude destroys lives. People in position of authority have more responsibility placed upon them, not less. This reminds me how retail wage earners complain about the store manager when they enforce rules. In summary: If your husband is doing right by you, you do right by him. But you gotta be willing to communicate.
Politely, it only causes more confusion. She doesn't explain submission at all, she just goes on ranting about what men need to do. This is NOT scriptural.
@@Ioannikios174 Why is it not biblical? It clearly says that relationship in marriage should be like a relationshio between Jesus Christ and Church. Am I missing something here...?
The thing that is really difficult is for those of us in marriages where our husbands are not loving us like Christ loved the church, and isn't on mission for Christ, and we still have to figure out what to submit to. Its good advice for young ladies who arent married yet, but for those of us who got married young and didn't know what to look for,etc, it's a diffcult road to walk. We desperately need the Holy Spirit and good spiritual direction if you can get it.
Your video reminded me of a sermon I once heard in Keene, New Hampshire. The priest resembled the actor Austin Pendleton: a short thin man with bush of hair. The reading was from Ephesians. "I heard a wife ask her husband, 'Do you love me? Really, do you love me?" He looked up at us and added, "What would I know about this?" The women in the congregation responded with some shuffling in their seats as if they had changed their expectations and were now sitting up straight and leaning a little forward, wanting to hear what he had to say. Apparently the priest pays attention, not only in the confessional. The marriage of Christ and the Church is a tough model. I've often felt that we make a god out of consensus, even if its largely based on sloth.
This video should be titled "How should a husband treat his wife" the video was about how a man should treat his wife, not about the scriptural doctrine of wives submitting to their husbands. Yes husbands need to love and treat their wives right and christs union with the church, but you missed the whole title of your video. A woman has a biblical duty to submit to her husband.
@@dr.vonslifeinvesting6485 stamp your foot down and just say this is not okay, we didnt get married to do this. This ends now or we don't have a marriage at all.
@Shell Shock Don't forget pride. Pride comes before the fall. This woman told us about how strong she is, and how husbands should lay down their lives down for their wives while not mentioning what the wife should do. If that is not pride I don't know what is. I believe this woman is Catholic, based on the organization, and her interpretation of this verse is heresy. A papal encyclical called CASTI CONNUBII paragraph 29 explains the roles of husband & wife clearly in the Catholic Church. Also, most serious Christian doctrines (more or less) agree on this regardless.
I married a "Christian" man when I was 21 years old. He was a religion major. His first job was youth pastor. He emotionally abused me for 20 years. He was careful not to leave physical bruises. All of our church leaders told me to submit to him. He almost completely shattered me mentally. I finally divorced him and was shunned by my "church family". I worked for that church as an administrator for over 10 years. When I left and had no support... the pastor cheated on his wife and left her and their 3 children for a fling. After I went through the valley of the shadow of death... I met a wonderful man. He was agnostic. I, however remained firm in my Christian beliefs. This wonderful man was/is the kindest, sweetest, nicest, most generous man I have ever met whether inside or outside of the organized church. We married and this man is now my Christian spouse. He is smarter than I am in many ways as I get emotional. I'm smarter in some ways about finances, etc. I'm here to tell you that I believe that this is what the Bible is telling you. Submit to one another. Acknowledge each other's strengths and weaknesses. Work together. Would anyone like to tell me where I'm wrong here?
Absolutely hate how evangelicals talk about this subject. it's very misogynistic and degrading of women. Regardless, I believe in women and men submitting to each other EQUALLY.
You cannot submit to one another equally, two heads of anything is a beast and one has to be the authority in the home, which is the husband as God commands. It is not a matter of what you believe, but of being obedient to God’s word. There is nothing misogynistic or degrading about serving your husband or being a virtuous woman in your household. God did not say that you cannot have outside interests, or be intelligent in your own right or that you cannot have opinions, but there are certain roles that each partner was tailor made for and the grace is upon your life to exercise your specified role. Except that in the spirit of humility and you will find peace within. God bless 😊🙏
This is the best explanation and analysis of Eph 6 I have ever heard. My background is pentecostal Assembly of God. I have NEVER heard any minister preach on the second aspect: Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church. Which wife would not want to submit to a husband who loved and cherished her, and who sought the best welfare of the family, as distinct from self gratification.
True, but if you read the scripture in it's proper context, these are obligations, so a man is obligated to serve his wife even if she does not love him, likewise a woman is obligated to submit to her husband even if he does not cherish her. Therefore it is just important to pick the right spouse, otherwise divorce is the option on the table. One who is truly not self centered or self gratifying is the one who does what's right even in hard times. I hope you can find time to read this scripture, 1 Samuel 25, the whole of chapter 25.
11 Let a woman learn in peace, fully submitted; 12 but I do not permit a woman to teach a man or exercise authority over him; rather, she is to remain at peace. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Havah.
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I have been discerning my vocation for some time now but I know my heart has always said marriage but, I have much preparation n my heart that must still be made. Knowing what yoy ought to be and knowing how to get there are not the same thing on thid topic. In my humble experience at least, if it is for you reading this, that is a blessing and a grace from God, thank Him for it and cherish and use it for His Divine Will. Oh and God bless you all. : )
If a father is not willing to listen to the intercession of the mother of his children, I think it would be wise for him to evaluate his role as a husband and father.
I can’t believe she actually said for women to not submit to husbands. @ 7:11. Who cares if your husband is lazy, doesn’t help with the kids, or just wants a maid. This doesn’t change the call for the wife to bear her cross.
Read my comments again, psychopath. Who cares? Should we just get rid of the whole purpose of life itself while you’re at it? Why do you even follow this then? Sociopath.
Not many men at all. It's a shame that there are absolutely no women who will. I guess you missed all the early Christians, their husbands, wives, children, family, and friends who loved God enough to suffer torture, starvation, oppression, murder, and all manner of unfairness at the hands of wicked men, for God. You heard me, the church suffered and died for God. Thousands went to their deaths willingly rather than betray God. If that is the real and honest relationship between God and the Church, are you willing to suffer and die for your man rather than betray him to save your life? Ya, I thought not. This video is a load of tripe, bologna, tosh. You would do well not to listen to lies. They can be very misleading. And in this point, this lady has it all wrong, as do many, many leaders within the church.
In this current (post feminist, gynocentric) day and age, any man who marries put his life on the line for his wife. Most women just have no clue what love is.
As a 24 year old woman who has found her way back to Christ and is considering converting to Catholicism, I needed this. I've struggled for so long in understanding why the bible talks about women the way it does, and it's been easy to just not read the Bible because of it. Another thing I'm still trying to wrestle with, why are most of the stories in the Bible about men? I grew up southern Baptist and was kind of subconsciously taught that I'm not worth as much, I'm weaker or I'm not as tough because I'm a woman. There's still a lot I don't understand, but videos like this help.
Thank you. I want my Confirmation girls watch this. Many of us don't feel worthy of a good man and settle for mistreatment. God bless you and your family, Jackie!
In the KJV dictionary/concordance, submit, submission, and submissive means: voluntary yielding to another, accountability. Prv 3:6; Rom 13:5; 1 Cor 16:16; Eph 5:21; Col 3:18; 1 Tim 2:11; Heb 12:9; Heb 13:17; Jas 3:17; 1 Pt 2:18; 1 Pt 3:1 🙏🙏🙏
I don't understand why it's so controversial to be submissive to ones husband, regardless of religious views. We were created equal but different. Women have strengths men don't have, and vice verse. If I cook and clean for my husband, no one bats an eye until I mention this reading, and then everyone flips a lid. It blows my mind.
EJ Everlast the devil was once in ángel that’ means he or she was all perfect and godly until it wanted to have the power of god and twist the words and telling people different things and lies
jagir there’s plenty of men to submit too and want to be appreciated many of them love when their wives cook and come home to a delicious meal while she is home maybe satan feeding you lies but nowadays you don’t see anyone knowing how to cook men or women and there’s lots of reasons for that social media is one factor and feminism
I would as soon as she respected and reverenced me. From what i have read, a womans part often comes first. Its extremely hard to love a woman who refuses to do the will of the Lord when the husband wants to follow Gods ways.
I honestly clicked on this video because of the thumb nail. Jackie looked like she was all "gggiiirrrlll you don't know what you're talking about! Listen here!"
Peggy Lyons that’s actually wrong. I don’t care if the man you’ve chosen to marry has a mission to do back flips all day on the trampoline or to stop world hunger. You’ve married him. You’re the wife. You submit. Period.
Peggy Lyons the woman cant be equal, she isn’t even made in gods image! How can she be equal with the man who represents gods image on earth?! Of course you will have to give a non biblical justification, because the truth is not in you...
No, you don't. My wife and I are way off. How we did it. I made the rules until she got there, which she was perfectly capable of doing. As is anyone. Just because you can't run that doesn't mean you can't be dragged.
This is the first Ascension video that's ever made me cringe. You said you were going to explain Ephesians Chapter 5: 21-32. Instead, you only talked about how a husband's mission is to lay his life down for his wife. You can't stop there, as it's very misleading. A husband's mission is to lay his life down for his family; therefore, a wife's mission is also to lay her life down for her family. That's the mission that a wife is to "submit" to, not the one way street you painted where a man gives it all for his wife, and then she just goes along with it. I wish you would have gone on to promote an attitude of service and self sacrifice for husband and family, to join him in his mission of doing the same for his wife and family.
Nick I dont think that a husband getting a glass of water for a pregnant wife for example is a one way street. I am sure that both partners in this marriage look after each other. Keeping house and looking after children is a lot of work so is pregnancy for that matter. To me it seems that this woman is very committed to her husband and family. Sometiems when we have been hurt it is hard to imagine anyone could really lay down their life for us and be devoted. I know.
it's always like that bro. This sneaky spirit gonna make everything sound so good and will sneak away from facing this topic in order to keep woman in rebellion in their marriage and put men down Mr.Potatoe head. the same way they do it with CHRIST but they don't see
Salomon being the wisest man to ever live on earth started his reign with so much good works and servitude to the Lord but ended up deviating due to his 1001 wives and concubines. Sometimes everything might seem perfect in the beginning and your partner might be perfect but in time of trials he/she can change and that’s when we should recall that part from the CCC and carry our crosses and pray as many of us saw it in the movie “War room”. Younger generations live perfectly until trial come to start the divorce process. I liked this video, but you kinda focused on the perfect and the fairy tale part of Marriage… Please do consider making another one on the hardest battles of Marriage;as you guys are leaving a perfect and Christian Marriage look for testimonies and other Saints stories and encourage all those spouses out there struggling. May the good Lord keep showering his finest blessings upon the whole team😊
This is beautiful but lacks from the title. Nothing about wives submitting to the husband but more about husbands submitting to their wives. Please help. Thank and God bless you.
please don't judge me, but is it only me that focuses more on her hair than her words. I mean the hair is always on point and looking beautiful well maintained.
Bless you Jackie, well said. Apologies to the The Good Lord for all my indiscretions in my life. I pray that He will still bring me to eternal salvation! Really that is a very sweeping statement as I know that I have been forgiven. I pray that ALL peoples on earth may come to this conclusion also, with full knowledge of His Church and teachings!! Peace, prayers love and blessings from The Great South Land of The Holy Spirit!
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4, KJV)
Beautiful reflection! It is great to hear this from a woman's perspective who understands and embraces the depth and meaning of this oft-misunderstood scriptural text. Thank you for sharing.
@EJ Everlast I have a similar objection. She makes it sound like "actually, wife and husband have exactly the same job/role in a marriage." Which is obviously not what the bible or the catechism teaches... Hm.. I think she might actually struggle with this passage personally and try to justify it.
My wife needs to watch this but if I sent it to her the demon would be released, she’s was brought up with a broken family and mum who told her to never submit to a man, years of putting up with her pride, she doesn’t respect me or give me any love, doesn’t work, I’m stuck with a real sorry case, not healthy for our kids and I’m ready to walk.
I like the phrase "under the mission." I see it as the wife supporting the husband's life-mission, which is his occupation or ministry of some form. It is only to lay his life down for you literally, if your life is in danger.
You seem to have missed the fact that thousands of Christians died for God through torture, oppression, blatant murder, starvation, imprisonment, etc. Yes, God laid down his life for all of us but he expects nothing less in return. That means, if he is suffering should you be willing to suffer. He doesn't have it fair in life and neither should you whine and complain when your life or he isn't fair. Did Jesus Christ even say a word as he was condemned to an unimaginable round of torture and death? No, he didn't. And neither should you. Read the Bible. It's available everywhere. And God ain't nothing like you define Him. The good book spells it all out and you are so far off it's not even funny.
EJ Everlast but that’s not what she’s talking about in the video, she’s literally implying that men should submit to women by helping them do whatever a wife needs. That’s insane. It has to be 50/50 at least
Yes, and unfortunately quite wrong. The word is militaristic in nature, as in from a General to a Captain. Orders are to be obeyed and without complaint.
@@brandonluker3660 Hi. I was just pointing out the plain meaning of the english word submission. No interpretation From the exact verse this sister in Christ cited it uses the Greek word "hupotassō (ὑποτάσσω)" which means to obey, be subject. This word was a Greek military term meaning "to arrange [troop divisions] in a military fashion under the command of a leader". In non-military use, it was "a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden". I will say though that I think it's fair to say that God's kingdom is both a monarchy and patriarchy, just not one that has been represented properly by any society of men since the beginning of time. The citizens of God's kingdom are all members of the royal family though and all voluntarily submitting themselves to God.
Prayer Request: Not meaning to take up your time but I'd appreciate if you could all keep my family and I in your prayers as we're struggling right now. I love you all and God bless ♡
Hello Morgan Casey my name is Tudor I am from Romania and I have prayed for you (your family). Please continue to pray and read the bible on a constant basis. Please remember:
Psalm 56:3 --> “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."
&
Isaiah 41:10 --> “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Prayers assured ✝️
Years ago I was a lector at an English speaking Catholic church in Belin. One Sunday I had to read this reading and the priest came to me and asked if I would have a problem reading this. I said absolutely not. He said, "I would," and walked away. I have ALWAYS thought that if my husband loves me as Christ loves the church then submitting isn't a problem. He has the harder job because Heaven knows I'm not always easy to love!
Nancy Brandt your love for him is conditional. I advise you to fix that.
My wife told me the same thing. That It's easy for her to let me lead when I'm following Christ. She shared a doodle with me of a upside down V and our names at either side with "GOD" written at the top. The idea was that God is the place where we come together, where we are in agreement, and are humbled by God's love which in turn opens us up to eachother. Gotta keep our eyes on Jesus to maintain what we are called to be in a Christian marriage.
So true. Many women don't realize that the husband has the more difficult role and women have more power (mental strength) than the men and it is the women who dictate the tone of a marriage.
@@claireobenson6327How is having a slave more difficult that owning a slave? Maybe thinking up endless tasks for you to do while he is out working might take some time in the evening but that's it.
If it is not too much trouble, please pray for my nonCatholic alcoholic husband... it's real bad.... bad marriage. I am praying constantly, Holy Rosary, etc & offering it all up. It's practically all I think about.😢
Anyways, may God bless you all. Have a most fruitful & blessed Lent. 🙏🏼🛐☦
Throw away your rosaries and stop praying to Mary. She can neither hear nor help you. Pray to God in Christ's name. Pray for His Holy Spirit to abide in you and your husband. I have prayed for you also. God bless you.
@@PavlovsBob great encouragement for her. Amazing how lost while reading scriptures...not to judge but it’s mind boggling.
I will sister. I have an alcoholic family member so i know what its like. You should first convince him that there is a problem because addicts cant think for themselves unfortunately, first rehab and then maintenance with love and prayer. I Hope things are better now..
@@PavlovsBob then you deny the Mother of God?
@@PavlovsBob We pray to Mary because she's a gracious and tender advocate to us who'll appeal to God on our behalf, and Christ will be very pleased that we hold his holy mother in such high reverence that we're reaching out to her. Of course He makes the final decisions, but being connected to Mary will make you more connected to Him.
I wonder how pleased God is with a statement such as "she can neither hear nor help you" when referring to his mother. I certainly wouldn't be happy if someone told me that my mother was powerless in such a way. You, and any other protestant who says the same are being malicious and the polar opposite of Christ-like. Do you think think he'll toss your mother to the side the way you have his? Even worse is the fact that you're doing this in His name. It's borderline heresy, and frankly, it comes from the freaking devil.
I really appreciate Jackie's description of submission as being "under the mission" of the husband, and that the wife is meant to be under the mission of a husband who will lay himself down for her. I pray that when God calls me to be a husband, I can be faithful in laying down myself for my wife and be worthy of having her under my mission.
Under the mission is not what it really means. Paul means to submit to, as normal people submit to a leader, even when you disagree. It's very difficult to find a woman who does that. Good luck.
1 Corinthians 11:3
@@CalvinGomes ok but then how do you define a leader?
It's not submitting to someone bossing around. What we see in movies and unfortunately in many marriages is the man wanting the wife to serve his needs, and fulfill only his wishes. We're not meant to subject ourselves to that.
The leadership in a catholic fashion means to serve as Christ. " just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life".
A leader would be someone who puts my needs before his own, who protects and guards me. Knowing he has my best interests in mind, sure thing I'll be willing to submit, for while I seek his good he seeks mine. Also the submission is said to be mutual, so if there's no meakness and trying to compromise women won't feel the trust needed to submit themselves.
If men need good luck finding a woman willing to submit, equally women need good luck finding a man worthy of sumbitting themselves to.
@@CalvinGomesscratch my previous comment if you caught it, the whole thing feels like a reduction and an attack. Leaving out the severity of what the guy is called to kills the whole idea.
The wife submission is not a response to husband love (it is a duty).
and the husband love is not a response to wife submission (it is a duty).
God bless you. It is not conditional, it is a duty
I love this ❤
Even if so it would be a limited duty when I was in uniform. A command to rape or to directly kill an innocent child could not be obeyed even though the authority is much wider than in a marriage. A command to take a bound and draw a snipers shot would have to be obeyed. There would be much else but certainly if a husband were to tell his wife to commit an intrinsic evil (he would be vile for doing so) and she would be expected not to act that way. No duty save for loving God is without limits.
@@agbossagaalidamarc9272 Of course if would be conditional a parents authority also is conditional.
Could not have said it better.
I always thought it was weird that this was controversial. Jesus talked about serving one another, people nod their heads, but then Bible says for wives to serve husbands, and now it is an issue? Even though it tells husbands to serve wives right after? Boggled my mind growing up, especially as I grew up with parents who lived (and still live) a good, catholic marriage.
Feminism
It doesn't tell their husbands to serve wives right after. Submit and love were used, which are two different calls for action.
@@hitthefries "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."
Sure, the words "love" and "submit" are used, but both call for service to one another. Christ loved the church by serving it, and the husband is asked to help the wife reach holiness, that is being of service to the wife. Love and service go hand in hand here. Both husband and wife serve each other, albeit by different ways at times, but we are all called to be servants.
@@nyrukdaerog3973 in that sense, sure. But your comment made it seem like they are called to do the same thing and women are being unnecessarily upset (edit: they're upset because they're at the bottom level of the 'chain', even though there's only two people). We can see here that both had different instructions.
leal , the Christian definition of love is self sacrifice. Husbands actually have a more difficult expectation.
Im sorry to disagree but "hupotassó" is the greek word used by Paul. It does not mean to be "under the mission" it means "to place or rank under, to subject, mid. to obey" according to Strong's greek internlinear bible. This is the same that Jesus did before the father. he submitted to his will and went to the cross... That doesn't mean Jesus is a lesser person of the trinity. It means he is under the submission of the Father... A women being under submission doesnt mean shes less valuble than her husband. I sumbit to my boss and that does not make his more valuble as a person.
@@claymcdermott6945 I'm sorry but her argument seems circular and self-serving. "Be under the mission of your husband giving his life for you" If i understand correctly she's claiming to have to get on board with her husband serving her(listen to 2:56 - 3:10) I don't mean that in a pejorative manner i promise. But this truly does worry me, its not proper exegesis of the text and it really corrupts the point of what Paul was trying to express. The mandate of scripture is for wives to respect and submit the authority of the husband in fact even just as the church respects the authority of the headship of Christ. In like manner the Man is love the wife not in a domineering way. Genesis 3 also expresses that the punishment for the fall of man was that the woman natural tendencies would be to go against her husband (or on going conflict between husband and wife in juxtaposition to the prefall relationship of Adam and eve) and that "he would rule over her". But i can agree with her sentiment, i just think her phraseology can be misconstrued. God bless!
@@mando_apolgetico you're right-- because it is part of the fall, and christian union between man and woman is to NOT reflect that fall. paul also called on slaves to submit to masters. he also called on women to be silent in church. but we do not impose this on people of color today saying don't oppose oppression and let's go back to slavery. yet so many people use it to tell women that a literal reading of this literally means follow the fall, the world, and dominate women.
let's be clear. no where in scripture nor in catholic teaching is there any "head of the house". that is worldly concept that has almost without exception been (and still is- as in your comment) used to position the man to dominate, control, and "make decisions"- that is a slave/master model and is not the one flesh and no male/female in christ teaching of christianity. what's more, the church and the recent ecclesiastical letter of our popes have clarified: MUTUAL SUBMISSION is a godly marriage. it's so simple.

"huge responsibility"-- it is NOT the model of christian marriage. that can be one option that either spouse can use-- with mutual agreement. the woman can make unilateral decisions for the family in certain situations as can the man, as long as they both agree that is best. i lived in a community house in college with 40 people from different backgrounds and cultures, and none of us had problems sacrificing mutually for each other in order to reach consensus (yes, everyone agreeing, even if there were differing needs and opinions) on all major decisions relating to managing and running the house including three-time-rituals of changing rooms every school year. if 40 people can do that, 2 people certainly are called to set aside ego (especially the man, instead of following the world) and hear each other and become one flesh, mutually sacrificial, mutually submissive. it's so simple.
Thank you for saying the same thing she did...only in your words..
@@paigebuilli4304 I'm sorry but the teaching of "headship" is found in scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:3 "But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ". This is found in the inerrant word of God and if someone disagrees they disagree with God and his CREATIVE ORDER "for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake". For the record it is Man who is held responsible for the Fall even tho Eve ate of the fruit first. (Romans 5) and it was not Man who was deceived by the serpent but EVE as it it written in 1 timothy 2:14 " Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor" and yet MAN is responsible for Gods ordained HEADSHIP. At this point you have two options, ONE try to argue some obscure "social injustice" that no one can prove or verify or you CAN SUBMIT TO GODS WORD AND SEEK TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS PURPOSE IS. If there is something you don't like in scripture you dot remove it or redefine it to suit your desires. That is called idolatry and making a God after your own liking. And btw 1st century slavery is no way the same as the 15th century transatlantic slave trade that you are thinking of. You are reading your own understandings into the biblical texts. If you think the bible condoned slavery in any way you need to read the book of Philemon in the New testament about a slave that ran away and become a christian and returned to his Master.

That is so much helping discerning my vocation! Please pray for me so I get my full answer next week during my retreat ❤️
“That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” (Titus 2:4-5, KJV)
The late J Vernon McGee once did a sermon where one of his flock came to him complaining "Paster! My wife won't submit to me!" "Why should she?" He responded. "It says so right here!" "OH! Very good!" He responded. "BUT! Don't stop there! Keep reading! Have you loved your wife as Christ loves the Church?" He hung his head in shame as though saying "You caught me!" "Until you love your wife as Christ loves the Church, you cannot expect her to submit to you!"

GREAT VIDEO, and a perfect example to marry in the Faith and to a spouse who is equally yoke to you...
As a 15 year old I really appreciate this video as a woman. Thank you!
twinsies :)
Take your time and find the husband she is talking about in this video! do not settle for guys who treat you in any way except how Christ laid his life down for the church. Pray pray pray when you start dating and stay in fellowship with Christian women who have the right kind of marriages. Don’t let emotions or “love” cloud your judgement. That is the exact reason God wants us to stay holy and pure and abstain from sexual immorality. Not because God wants to keep us from doing “fun things”, but because once you get physical with someone then you catch feelings and start to overlook red flags and it clouds our judgement. Respect yourself and your body, you are wonderfully and fearfully made and so so special! God has the perfect plans for you. I wanted to respond to you because you are so young and I wish someone would have told me these things back then. God bless you sweetie!!
As someone who married the man I was with at 15, be very sure he is a good man before you commit and submit or you might find yourself like me in an abusive situation which is hard to get out of.
Thankfully on the other side and happily submissive to my new partner and soon to be husband.
Remember a bf is not a husband, bf expecting submission u need to pass
@@jborrego2406 - Not if he is vetting her to see if she will be a good wife?
When we are a servants to one another life works, their is no room for self-centred loving, all of his is practise for the eternity Jesus has prepared for us.
I mean, looking back on it, it doesn't make sense that the first definition is: "Submit in bed". Thank you for showing me the full reading and explaining the true meaning because you are right, it is beautiful. As a young teen, I was pushed away from the church by adults whose minds went straight for the most perverted interpretation making marriage appear terrifying.
And to submit does not mean to submit to sin. Only to lawful command and headship. How people could think submission means that beatings or abuses of any kind are permissible if a woman is not a doormat is ridiculous. It says for men to love their wives as Christ loves us right after!
Yes, submission means "be under the mission of", not "under the slavery of". This is a great clarification. Husbands have a mission to die to self so that wife and family can live and the wife should follow, appreciate and respect what her husband does. One flesh means both spouses having a common vision and move in same direction together. It is sad how the world twists this definition and make wives scared to follow their husbands.
Not all wives are scared they just have to have respect and appreciate their husband not nag and complain the devil has twisted the word the false prophets and false idols many single women with children always ends up in trouble in school and end up being Criminals than single father Homes
Actually, the Greek word there means to be subordinate to. Literally to "line up under". It's a military metaphor, like how a soldier is subordinate to the commander.
In other words, exactly in the way your pride says it simply can't be.
Choosing the one particular English translation that could be most easily killed with nuance was clever.
I'm not scared to follow my husband. In fact I follow him on a lot of things. I just don't believe authority should be given to someone based on what they are rather then by the merit of their character. Authority should be earned. Even Jesus proved himself. he didn't say obey me just because, he said obey me because I proved how to live the right way. also the parable of the 3 servants who were given money by the master to go and work it. one buried it, one made three times and one made five times. he took from the one that buried and gave to the one that was the most responsible. All of life reflects this parable. if you fail and fail again you lose everything. if you succeed and succeed again you gain that much more.
@@novamouy17 Agreed. Men have to aim to become more Christ like to earn their wives submission. But wives can also change their husband's heart through a pure and reverent life and unfailing beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit. (1 Peter 3:1-5)
Thanks for giving me clarity on this reading. As with many things in the Catholic Church, what God wants is so much better than what we imagined!
Part of the reason I love this channel is that it is helping not only to help recouple some bad misunderstandings I had been lead to but will also allow me to correct these things when they crop of from others. So thank you
Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent
The Duties of Married People
The more easily to preserve the holy state (of marriage) from dissensions, the duties of husband and wife as inculcated by St. Paul and by the Prince of the Apostles must be explained.
Duties Of A Husband
It is the duty of the husband to treat his wife generously and honourably. It should not be forgotten that Eve was called by Adam his companion. The woman, he says, whom thou gavest me as a companion. Hence it was, according to the opinion of some of the holy Fathers, that she was formed not from the feet but from the side of man; as, on the other hand, she was not formed from his head, in order to give her to understand that it was not hers to command but to obey her husband.
The husband should also be constantly occupied in some honest pursuit with a view to provide necessaries for the support of his family and to avoid idleness, the root of almost every vice.
He is also to keep all his family in order, to correct their morals, and see that they faithfully discharge their duties.
Duties Of A Wife
On the other hand, the duties of a wife are thus summed up by the Prince of the Apostles: Let wives be subject to their husbands. that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word by the conversation of the wives, considering your chaste conversation with fear. Let not their adorning be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: but the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God. For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord.
To train their children in the practice of virtue and to pay particular attention to their domestic concerns should also be especial objects of their attention. The wife should love to remain at home, unless compelled by necessity to go out; and she should never presume to leave home without her husband's consent.
Again, and in this the conjugal union chiefly consists, let wives never forget that next to God they are to love their husbands, to esteem them above all others, yielding to them in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, a willing and ready obedience.
Ben Sira 26:1-3,16-19,24
[1]HAPPY is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double.
[2]A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband: and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
[3]A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds.
[16]The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones.
[17]Her discipline is the gift of God.
[18]Such is a wise and silent woman, and there is nothing so much worth as a well instructed soul.
[19]A holy and shamefaced woman is grace upon grace.
[24]As everlasting foundations upon a solid rock, so the commandments of God In the heart of a holy woman.
1 Timothy 2:9-14
[9]In like manner, women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire:
[10]But, as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
[11]Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
[12]But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.
[13]Adam was first formed; then Eve.
[14]And Adam was not seduced; but the woman, being seduced, was in the transgression.
1 Timothy 3:4-5,11
[4]One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
[5]But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
[11]The women in like manner: chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
1 Corinthians 11:3,7-9
[3]But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God.
[7]The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
[8]For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
[9]For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man.
Titus 2:3-5,9
[3]The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
[4]That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.
[5]To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed.
[9]Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters: in all things pleasing, not gainsaying:
1 Peter 3:1-7
[1]In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives,

[3]Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
[4]But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God.
[5]For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
[6]As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well and not fearing any disturbance.
[7]Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.
Ephesians 5:22-24,33
[22]Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord:
[23]Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body.
[24]Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things.
[33]Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love for his wife as himself: And let the wife fear her husband.
Colossians 3:18-21
[18]Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.
[19]Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards them.
[20]Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
[21]Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.

This is such great timing! I just heard a wonderful talk at a retreat about this exact topic!
You are on fire 🔥! Love it and your explanation. I am strong independent woman. I've been struggling with my study about submission. Which is why I opened this video. You explain it so well thank you. May the Lord continue to bless you and enlighten us all. Have a blessed day
True submission is NOT being a doormat or a slave. Thanks for sharing this!
Can you justify that statement with scripture?
@@j.p.5716 Ephesians 5:25, 28-33.
@@j.p.5716
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30
A wives duty of submitting is supposed to be easy and not like slavery because we are now servents of Christ. If the man leads well like Jesus the burden will be light. Jesus is our role model and Jesus never forced anyone to follow him. He never looked down on women quite the opposite and Jesus dosen't treat us like slaves but friends!
Phillipians 2:3-8
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death-
even death on a cross!
Does this sound like a tyrant to you who treats people like doormats?
When Jesus came it was not all about him, he came to serve us and put our best interest at heart. He gave up his rights in heaven to come down and serve us. He LIVED self-sacrifice the entire time he was on earth AND sacrified on the cross.
Isaiah 53:4
"Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted"
Matthew 20:24-28
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Literally he is supposed to surrender to God as a leader by taking the lowest place of serventhood, that means the descions he is making can't be to his own self interest, vain or ego, and he will be judged one day if he dosen't. Or his prayers won't be answered.
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
The knowledge aka the christian knowledge, the gospel of how we are supposed to treat one another.

I so wish I would of seen this before I got married. My husband acts like he doesn’t believe anymore so he can just be a drunk. He says things about God not being real in-front of our kids. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I won’t give up though. He’ll never break my faith. ❤

Wives are so critical in the mission you laid out for men. Their “submission” is synonymous with support.
That doesn’t make any sense. Does the Church too then support Christ and not submit to him?
Here is my thing. I feel like no one still defines submission. There is a big difference between a child and a submissive wife. I think some wives who are taken for granted feel like slaves. For instance, having to work, tend to the child 100%, all the cooking and household duties (except taking out the trash and occasional hanging of a picture on the wall), and being treated as your husband's personal assistant at his every beck and call, and oh sex doll.....That is why anyone would feel like a slave. But if a woman is overwhelmed because all her husband is doing is working to pay most of the bill, yet has so much free time and still demanding everything of you while he sits and plays video games or his various hobbies. That to me is like indentured servitude or lowkey slavery. And if you decline to do anything he tells you because you're overwhelmed, then he will frame you as a bad wife. And suddenly you're not submissive anymore. I do not believe that is fair but that is what a lot of women have to deal with and are told to do it with a smile. All this doesn't have much to do with love in my opinion.
It 'feels like' no one defines submission cause there's the context of Marriage and the Oath. This is a two-way agreement the higher power as the witness. If you feel your husband isn't being true to his marriage vows then call him out on it. But remember to count your blessings since there is no perfect life. You will always want more and think that the grass is greener on the other side, but that attitude destroys lives. People in position of authority have more responsibility placed upon them, not less. This reminds me how retail wage earners complain about the store manager when they enforce rules. In summary: If your husband is doing right by you, you do right by him. But you gotta be willing to communicate.
Thank you very much for this wisdom, it is very very helpful. God bless
Thank you for this!! It clarifies so much confusion! ❤️🙏
Politely, it only causes more confusion. She doesn't explain submission at all, she just goes on ranting about what men need to do. This is NOT scriptural.
@@Ioannikios174 Why is it not biblical? It clearly says that relationship in marriage should be like a relationshio between Jesus Christ and Church. Am I missing something here...?
A good topic to discuss for sure.
Amazing. May God continue to bless you. I once lost a friend for saying this exact thing! You explained it SO well! Thank you
The thing that is really difficult is for those of us in marriages where our husbands are not loving us like Christ loved the church, and isn't on mission for Christ, and we still have to figure out what to submit to. Its good advice for young ladies who arent married yet, but for those of us who got married young and didn't know what to look for,etc, it's a diffcult road to walk. We desperately need the Holy Spirit and good spiritual direction if you can get it.
Thank you for this video. I was super confused about this chapter and this video help me understand it more. God is good
This was the topic of my religion project today! Wow!
Yes!! Thank you.
Your video reminded me of a sermon I once heard in Keene, New Hampshire. The priest resembled the actor Austin Pendleton: a short thin man with bush of hair. The reading was from Ephesians. "I heard a wife ask her husband, 'Do you love me? Really, do you love me?" He looked up at us and added, "What would I know about this?" The women in the congregation responded with some shuffling in their seats as if they had changed their expectations and were now sitting up straight and leaning a little forward, wanting to hear what he had to say. Apparently the priest pays attention, not only in the confessional. The marriage of Christ and the Church is a tough model. I've often felt that we make a god out of consensus, even if its largely based on sloth.
THANK YOU FOR THIS 🙌
I basically just clicked on this because of the expression on your face. 🤓

Exactly!
🤣🤣🤣
This video should be titled "How should a husband treat his wife" the video was about how a man should treat his wife, not about the scriptural doctrine of wives submitting to their husbands. Yes husbands need to love and treat their wives right and christs union with the church, but you missed the whole title of your video. A woman has a biblical duty to submit to her husband.
Noah Fauth Well stated. Too much me, me, me from this woman.
Agreed
I sacrificed for my wife and treated her well she didn’t want to kiss me anymore or have sex. Now what???
@@dr.vonslifeinvesting6485 stamp your foot down and just say this is not okay, we didnt get married to do this. This ends now or we don't have a marriage at all.
@Shell Shock Don't forget pride. Pride comes before the fall. This woman told us about how strong she is, and how husbands should lay down their lives down for their wives while not mentioning what the wife should do. If that is not pride I don't know what is. I believe this woman is Catholic, based on the organization, and her interpretation of this verse is heresy.
A papal encyclical called CASTI CONNUBII paragraph 29 explains the roles of husband & wife clearly in the Catholic Church. Also, most serious Christian doctrines (more or less) agree on this regardless.
I married a "Christian" man when I was 21 years old. He was a religion major. His first job was youth pastor. He emotionally abused me for 20 years. He was careful not to leave physical bruises. All of our church leaders told me to submit to him. He almost completely shattered me mentally. I finally divorced him and was shunned by my "church family". I worked for that church as an administrator for over 10 years. When I left and had no support... the pastor cheated on his wife and left her and their 3 children for a fling.
After I went through the valley of the shadow of death... I met a wonderful man. He was agnostic. I, however remained firm in my Christian beliefs. This wonderful man was/is the kindest, sweetest, nicest, most generous man I have ever met whether inside or outside of the organized church. We married and this man is now my Christian spouse. He is smarter than I am in many ways as I get emotional. I'm smarter in some ways about finances, etc. I'm here to tell you that I believe that this is what the Bible is telling you. Submit to one another. Acknowledge each other's strengths and weaknesses. Work together. Would anyone like to tell me where I'm wrong here?
U made the same comment in another video? What point are u trying to make
Why do you continue to spread your sin around to these different comment sections?
So beautiful, thank you so much!
I’m so glad I watched this! She spoke on the perfect union of marriage in a non sexual way. Beautifully spoken 🙏
Absolutely hate how evangelicals talk about this subject. it's very misogynistic and degrading of women. Regardless, I believe in women and men submitting to each other EQUALLY.
You cannot submit to one another equally, two heads of anything is a beast and one has to be the authority in the home, which is the husband as God commands. It is not a matter of what you believe, but of being obedient to God’s word. There is nothing misogynistic or degrading about serving your husband or being a virtuous woman in your household. God did not say that you cannot have outside interests, or be intelligent in your own right or that you cannot have opinions, but there are certain roles that each partner was tailor made for and the grace is upon your life to exercise your specified role. Except that in the spirit of humility and you will find peace within. God bless 😊🙏
This is the best explanation and analysis of Eph 6 I have ever heard. My background is pentecostal Assembly of God. I have NEVER heard any minister preach on the second aspect: Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church.
Which wife would not want to submit to a husband who loved and cherished her, and who sought the best welfare of the family, as distinct from self gratification.
True, but if you read the scripture in it's proper context, these are obligations, so a man is obligated to serve his wife even if she does not love him, likewise a woman is obligated to submit to her husband even if he does not cherish her. Therefore it is just important to pick the right spouse, otherwise divorce is the option on the table. One who is truly not self centered or self gratifying is the one who does what's right even in hard times. I hope you can find time to read this scripture, 1 Samuel 25, the whole of chapter 25.
WOW, she spoke a word on this one ladies! 💕💕
That face! 🤣🤣🤣 You crack me up Jackie... lol 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless you for sharing such a beautiful meaning to this passage.
Sarah called abraham my lord with love not fear or intimidation but out of honor and respect.
With love and obligation, and willingness to submit.
LOVED THIS!!!!!!!
"Oh no you didnt St Paul" hahahaha thank you so much for this, God Bless
11 Let a woman learn in peace, fully submitted; 12 but I do not permit a woman to teach a man or exercise authority over him; rather, she is to remain at peace. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Havah.
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I have been discerning my vocation for some time now but I know my heart has always said marriage but, I have much preparation n my heart that must still be made. Knowing what yoy ought to be and knowing how to get there are not the same thing on thid topic. In my humble experience at least, if it is for you reading this, that is a blessing and a grace from God, thank Him for it and cherish and use it for His Divine Will.
Oh and God bless you all. : )
I agree, this whole video seems like it's trying to make excuses for not just doing what the bible says.
If a father is not willing to listen to the intercession of the mother of his children, I think it would be wise for him to evaluate his role as a husband and father.
Thank you 💗 pray I’ll find my husband soon ✝️
I can’t believe she actually said for women to not submit to husbands. @ 7:11. Who cares if your husband is lazy, doesn’t help with the kids, or just wants a maid. This doesn’t change the call for the wife to bear her cross.
Read my comments again, psychopath. Who cares? Should we just get rid of the whole purpose of life itself while you’re at it? Why do you even follow this then? Sociopath.
"There's no such thing as a strong woman... only weak men." - Jesse Lee Peterson
Gotta hear more from this Jesse guy
Beautiful sharing! I just feel that unfortunately we do not have many men who are willing to lay their lives down and love us like Christ
Not many men at all. It's a shame that there are absolutely no women who will. I guess you missed all the early Christians, their husbands, wives, children, family, and friends who loved God enough to suffer torture, starvation, oppression, murder, and all manner of unfairness at the hands of wicked men, for God. You heard me, the church suffered and died for God. Thousands went to their deaths willingly rather than betray God. If that is the real and honest relationship between God and the Church, are you willing to suffer and die for your man rather than betray him to save your life?
Ya, I thought not. This video is a load of tripe, bologna, tosh. You would do well not to listen to lies. They can be very misleading. And in this point, this lady has it all wrong, as do many, many leaders within the church.
@@meishakester6502 Agreed, they are some missing trues in her points.
In this current (post feminist, gynocentric) day and age, any man who marries put his life on the line for his wife. Most women just have no clue what love is.
As a 24 year old woman who has found her way back to Christ and is considering converting to Catholicism, I needed this. I've struggled for so long in understanding why the bible talks about women the way it does, and it's been easy to just not read the Bible because of it. Another thing I'm still trying to wrestle with, why are most of the stories in the Bible about men? I grew up southern Baptist and was kind of subconsciously taught that I'm not worth as much, I'm weaker or I'm not as tough because I'm a woman. There's still a lot I don't understand, but videos like this help.
Seeing this now- know I am praying for you and your journey home!! Christ is so real and loves you dearly :))
Nope , that sentence is exactly that , submit to your husband and be under his control
Thank you. I want my Confirmation girls watch this. Many of us don't feel worthy of a good man and settle for mistreatment. God bless you and your family, Jackie!
In the KJV dictionary/concordance, submit, submission, and submissive means: voluntary yielding to another, accountability. Prv 3:6; Rom 13:5; 1 Cor 16:16; Eph 5:21; Col 3:18; 1 Tim 2:11; Heb 12:9; Heb 13:17; Jas 3:17; 1 Pt 2:18; 1 Pt 3:1 🙏🙏🙏
Thank You this helped me 🙏🏾❤️🌷👌🏾
God will send me a godly husband for me and my life and dreams and faith hands his wisdom and grace of his glory by God's gifted and strength n arms.
Amen sis!!
Amen

Shut up Jim.

@@meredithr9824 What? He's stating facts.
I'd say the same for a contentious man. Both spouses would be willing to hear each other out and seriously consider each other's points.
@@hopefull61256 it’s not cute anymore. It’s blasphemous. I’ll pray for you.
Thank u that was such a blessing I really learned alot from this
A humble strength, like Jesus!
I don't understand why it's so controversial to be submissive to ones husband, regardless of religious views. We were created equal but different. Women have strengths men don't have, and vice verse. If I cook and clean for my husband, no one bats an eye until I mention this reading, and then everyone flips a lid. It blows my mind.
EJ Everlast and a lot of men aren’t worth submitting to, aka not humble enough
EJ Everlast the devil was once in ángel that’ means he or she was all perfect and godly until it wanted to have the power of god and twist the words and telling people different things and lies
jagir there’s plenty of men to submit too and want to be appreciated many of them love when their wives cook and come home to a delicious meal while she is home maybe satan feeding you lies but nowadays you don’t see anyone knowing how to cook men or women and there’s lots of reasons for that social media is one factor and feminism
Well said! Men, let's lay down our lives for our wives as Christ did for us!
I'm all for it!
@@matthewbateman6487 BETA!
The wife submission is not a response to husband love (it is a duty).
and the husband love is not a response to wife submission (it is a duty).
I would as soon as she respected and reverenced me. From what i have read, a womans part often comes first. Its extremely hard to love a woman who refuses to do the will of the Lord when the husband wants to follow Gods ways.
In America culture, these women are not worth laying your life down as Man thanks to radical feminism.
I honestly clicked on this video because of the thumb nail. Jackie looked like she was all "gggiiirrrlll you don't know what you're talking about! Listen here!"
I agree with you 100%.
I've tried explaining this so many times.
It has to be recieved, which means you need to be equally yoked on a spiritual level.
Peggy Lyons that’s actually wrong. I don’t care if the man you’ve chosen to marry has a mission to do back flips all day on the trampoline or to stop world hunger. You’ve married him. You’re the wife. You submit. Period.
Peggy Lyons the woman cant be equal, she isn’t even made in gods image! How can she be equal with the man who represents gods image on earth?! Of course you will have to give a non biblical justification, because the truth is not in you...
No, you don't. My wife and I are way off. How we did it. I made the rules until she got there, which she was perfectly capable of doing. As is anyone. Just because you can't run that doesn't mean you can't be dragged.
This is the first Ascension video that's ever made me cringe. You said you were going to explain Ephesians Chapter 5: 21-32. Instead, you only talked about how a husband's mission is to lay his life down for his wife. You can't stop there, as it's very misleading. A husband's mission is to lay his life down for his family; therefore, a wife's mission is also to lay her life down for her family. That's the mission that a wife is to "submit" to, not the one way street you painted where a man gives it all for his wife, and then she just goes along with it. I wish you would have gone on to promote an attitude of service and self sacrifice for husband and family, to join him in his mission of doing the same for his wife and family.
Nick I dont think that a husband getting a glass of water for a pregnant wife for example is a one way street. I am sure that both partners in this marriage look after each other. Keeping house and looking after children is a lot of work so is pregnancy for that matter. To me it seems that this woman is very committed to her husband and family. Sometiems when we have been hurt it is hard to imagine anyone could really lay down their life for us and be devoted. I know.
it's always like that bro. This sneaky spirit gonna make everything sound so good and will sneak away from facing this topic in order to keep woman in rebellion in their marriage and put men down Mr.Potatoe head. the same way they do it with CHRIST but they don't see
Thank you so much this helps so much ❤
Wow talking about twisting the scriptures. This woman takes the cake
Thank you, exactly what I've been thinking about. 1 Timothy 2:9-15
I can't submit to my a man .NEVER EVER !
Just want to be single for forever
Wanjiru Karago That’s ok. Not everyone is called to marriage.
Same. I love my single life
You mean yo love your sinful life
Yes, i met a lot of your kind, never would i start a relationship for you are damaged
@@davidrobertjones2097 do her a favour, and don't
Beautiful!
Salomon being the wisest man to ever live on earth started his reign with so much good works and servitude to the Lord but ended up deviating due to his 1001 wives and concubines.
Sometimes everything might seem perfect in the beginning and your partner might be perfect but in time of trials he/she can change and that’s when we should recall that part from the CCC and carry our crosses and pray as many of us saw it in the movie “War room”. Younger generations live perfectly until trial come to start the divorce process.
I liked this video, but you kinda focused on the perfect and the fairy tale part of Marriage… Please do consider making another one on the hardest battles of Marriage;as you guys are leaving a perfect and Christian Marriage look for testimonies and other Saints stories and encourage all those spouses out there struggling.
May the good Lord keep showering his finest blessings upon the whole team😊
This is beautiful but lacks from the title. Nothing about wives submitting to the husband but more about husbands submitting to their wives. Please help. Thank and God bless you.
please don't judge me, but is it only me that focuses more on her hair than her words. I mean the hair is always on point and looking beautiful well maintained.
Yes I agree! Thick, full silky hair. Love her passion & how she speaks so well on this topic! Thank you - Very Helpful video!
Lol! I noticed her beautiful hair too 😊 But I did listen to her as well 👍
I totally agree lol
I never watch the videos. I just listen.
not just the hair, shes beautiful in every way
How beautiful 😍 our Traditions and faith Love 💘 each other as Jesus has loved 😍 us.
Bless you Jackie, well said. Apologies to the The Good Lord for all my indiscretions in my life. I pray that He will still bring me to eternal salvation! Really that is a very sweeping statement as I know that I have been forgiven. I pray that ALL peoples on earth may come to this conclusion also, with full knowledge of His Church and teachings!! Peace, prayers love and blessings from The Great South Land of The Holy Spirit!

Beautiful reflection! It is great to hear this from a woman's perspective who understands and embraces the depth and meaning of this oft-misunderstood scriptural text. Thank you for sharing.
@EJ Everlast I have a similar objection. She makes it sound like "actually, wife and husband have exactly the same job/role in a marriage." Which is obviously not what the bible or the catechism teaches... Hm.. I think she might actually struggle with this passage personally and try to justify it.
God bless you
My wife needs to watch this but if I sent it to her the demon would be released, she’s was brought up with a broken family and mum who told her to never submit to a man, years of putting up with her pride, she doesn’t respect me or give me any love, doesn’t work, I’m stuck with a real sorry case, not healthy for our kids and I’m ready to walk.
I like the phrase "under the mission." I see it as the wife supporting the husband's life-mission, which is his occupation or ministry of some form. It is only to lay his life down for you literally, if your life is in danger.
No, he lays his life down because he must love you like the church too
You seem to have missed the fact that thousands of Christians died for God through torture, oppression, blatant murder, starvation, imprisonment, etc. Yes, God laid down his life for all of us but he expects nothing less in return. That means, if he is suffering should you be willing to suffer. He doesn't have it fair in life and neither should you whine and complain when your life or he isn't fair. Did Jesus Christ even say a word as he was condemned to an unimaginable round of torture and death? No, he didn't. And neither should you.
Read the Bible. It's available everywhere. And God ain't nothing like you define Him. The good book spells it all out and you are so far off it's not even funny.
"submit to mission"...the best explanation I've ever heard of this ...
EJ Everlast but that’s not what she’s talking about in the video, she’s literally implying that men should submit to women by helping them do whatever a wife needs. That’s insane. It has to be 50/50 at least
Yes, and unfortunately quite wrong. The word is militaristic in nature, as in from a General to a Captain. Orders are to be obeyed and without complaint.
Please also do a video on 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. That's another disputed topic
Thank you 🙏🏽
Submission doesn't mean "to be under the mission." It means to humble yourself under the will or authority of another person.
So, in other words, patriarchy?
@@brandonluker3660 Hi. I was just pointing out the plain meaning of the english word submission. No interpretation
From the exact verse this sister in Christ cited it uses the Greek word "hupotassō (ὑποτάσσω)" which means to obey, be subject.
This word was a Greek military term meaning "to arrange [troop divisions] in a military fashion under the command of a leader". In non-military use, it was "a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden".
I will say though that I think it's fair to say that God's kingdom is both a monarchy and patriarchy, just not one that has been represented properly by any society of men since the beginning of time. The citizens of God's kingdom are all members of the royal family though and all voluntarily submitting themselves to God.
