okay...
When a woman decides that she loves and trusts this man enough to marry him and partner with him for the rest of her life, she should be comfortable enough with that man to 'submit' to him. If you are about to get married and think that this man will tell you to do something or be somewhere that will cause you harm or not be in the best interest of your household, why do you feel comfortable marrying him?
In a Christian marriage, it is the husband's responsibility to make sure that his family follows the Lord and lives a holy life. Therefore, the concerns that he has for his wife and family are not random, but instead spiritually inspired. And since the wife in a Christian marriage believes this also, she should understand exactly what her husband is saying and have no problem agreeing to the direction that he gives.
Too many people try to take bits and pieces of the Bible and make them fit into the secular world. Submission is not meant to make sense in a secular marriage, only in a Christian marriage. If you are not Christian and are not marrying a Christian, why question the way that Christian marriages have worked for thousands of years?
