Here's the reason that it doesn't make sense to me: EVEN IF your husband is going to treat you like fine wine (or presumably better according to this verse) why does that it make it reasonable that you should want to SUBMIT to him?
For instance, you and I are both equals, yet, even if you treated me perfectly, I would still not want to submit to you. Just b/c it is submission. It implies inferiority to me. That's the problem that I have with the submission issue. I just don't think that I'm inferior to a man.

Hmmm, maybe we both have different opinions as to what "submission" is. Submission(in the biblical sense) has nothing to do with inferiority.
The husband (speaking of a man after Christ's heart) would already know humilty and the benefit of compromise. These are attributes that are already apart of who he is. He would already know to talk over and discuss issues with his wife.
I just don't buy into secular society's view of women "having and doing it all". So that could be another reason why I have no problem with it.
