“Submission is the divine calling of a wife to honor and affirm her husband’s leadership and help carry it through according to her gifts.” — John Piper
After reading a portion of Ephesians 5, Piper made a profound statement. Paul is explaining the relationship between Christ, His Church, and marriage. Christ is the head of the church. The husband is the head of the wife. We would not consider it right for the Church to switch roles with Christ. Wives ought not desire to swap roles with their husbands.

Love this post Leslie!!!! Have you ever read the either of these books….The Politically Incorrect Wife or The Surrendered Wife???? The TPIW is from a Christian perspective, TSW is not Biblically based, BUT aside from two chapters I absolutely loved it. It had a lot of really good and practical advice.
