Obey? Submit? What do you think??

[Eclipse]

AKAtude posed something interesting on another thread so I decided to start a new one. Plus, Idea08 is rubbing off on me a bit (j/k luv ya girlie! ha ha) so I have a question for you guys to answer:

Most of us, whether Christian or not, are familiar with the phrase "wives submit to your husbands" from the Bible (Ephesians 5:23). Ladies (married, divorced, planning to, want to, ain't even got no prospect--heck guys can get in on this one too!), what do you think about this and the word "obey" in marriage vows? Did you say it? Will you say it? Men, expect your wife/future wife to do it? I'd love to hear your views!


FELT COMPELED TO ADD: I am looking for intelligent, well thought out conversation here. If you disagree with someone fine, just don't be disagreeable! Respect the other person's right to believe and think what they do! Not sure what they meant? ASK FIRST!! you know, like "Can you explain your statement XYZ to me? I'm not following you." Let's try not to call into question a person's character, morality, family background, etc. as we discuss. In other words...PLAY NICE!! LOL
