I like that hopefulprospective...I haven't found a man that would say that in the vows also!!
I believe in equal submission....I will obey as long he is being led by God. Alot of men are not loving their wives as Christ love the Church!! So, as long as he has my best interest at heart and not his own; I can adjust to the submission thing. That love thing is powerful, and if you really find someone that loves to the extent of laying down their life for you, You have sincere love!! That love takes time....too many guys are insignificately using that scripture.
God expects women to submit to MEN; NOT BOYs!! Trust me, that is where I draw the line. If you are still a boy, then I don't believe God is expecting that submission. God defines a MAN, and the world describes a Boy. Even Jesse Jackson could't fully obey the scripture.
So, Does God expect Mrs. Jackson to submit to him???? This is where I get real messed up....Help me out someone.....!!

When my husband and I got married, we discussed the use of "obey" in our vows. Simply put, it was agreed upon if I had to say "OBEY", he would also. So needless to say, "OBEY" was left out of our vows.
