Husband submitting to wife-is it OK?

LOL. Where is the men's locker room forum? I couldn't find it.

Let me tag our lead Admin, and we'll see if we can set you up. Not everyone can find it. Things are a little screwed up still from a recent change over.

Free.
 
I know it's unbiblical, but so is getting divorced and remarried but many Christians do it
This is the crux of your predicament.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? So you admit it's unbiblical, but care more about yourself and what others think, and so you're here soliciting their opinions. You're conflicted and, if this situation is not dealt with spiritually, it will not end well for you.

This is less about age differences and more about biblical headship-submission roles as established by The Boss for our protection. The Guide is there because The Boss doesn't want us to get hurt. He has a spiritual order that, if violated, will result in destruction to one degree or another.

Evidently, your flesh is attracted to the current situation. Have you ever examined why? But who/what should you rather be listening to and obeying? You've already told us the answer to that, while a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. My counsel is to choose God's way and be blessed - or not.
 
Hi guys. I'm a 29 year old single guy dating a 46 year old wonderful Christian lady. We've been dating for about 6 months and it's going great. We get along great-her personality is more dominant and mine is more submissive. We have talked about marriage in the future. We both are ok with her being the head of household. No I'm not weak and she's not controlling-that's just the way we both prefer it. She's more assertive than me, her income is 4 times mine(she's way up into the 6 figures), and has more experience in life than me. I know it's unbiblical, but so is getting divorced and remarried but many Christians do it. And this is not a new thing to me-I've been attracted to women in their 40s since I was about 16. But it is the first time I've actually dated a woman more than 5 years older than me.
I struggle with submitting in my past years and I have now only in recent times come to understand the value to be under my husband. I pray you can find ways to have your future wife be submissive to you. She will enjoy it!
