Who's the Head?

When is the last time you treated your husband like this?  While I defer to and look to my husband for advice I don't know that I have ever been subject to him as to the Lord.  I am praying to glorify God through my actions toward my husband.

According to my John MacArthur Bible Commentary, John MacArthur says this about the woman submitting to the husband.  The submission is not the husband's to command but for the wife to willingly and lovingly offer.  Your own husbands limits her submission to the one man God has placed over her, and also gives a balancing emphasis that he is hers as a personal intimate possession.  She submits to the man she possesses as her own.  Because the obedient, spiritual wife's supreme submission is to the Lord, her attitude is that she lovingly submits as an act of obedience to the Lord who has given this command as His will for her, regardless of her husband's personal worthiness or spiritual condition. 

The Spirit-filled wife recognizes that her husband's roll in giving leadership is not only God-ordained but also a reflection of Christ's own loving, authoritative headship of the church.  As the Lord delivered His church from the dangers of sin, death, and hell, so the husband provides for, protects, preserves, and loves his wife, leading her to blessing as she submits.
