wives submit to your husbands

Last night me and dear trist were on the phone...He is very into the elections now and had been telling me stuff tt its not good to say here considering the ' freedom' of speech we enjoy ..well..the main thing is he casually said he wants to be in the opposition team next time. (opps ..can i say that?? ) then i told him don't even think about it..haha so did his mom lor. Then he quoted the bible " wife submit to your husband" , well i was pretty agitated that he used the bible to say that if he chooses to go into politics, then i should just follow and agree with him and in loving kindness hope he change his mind or sth. haha ..well...
today in quiet time..i went to look at the verses..i couldnt find it at first but God is good..i chanced upon it while reading sth else...

Ephesians 5:22-33
Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the savior of the body. Therefore just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her that He might present Himself for her and that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love theur own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but i speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless, let each one of you in particular so love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

the word of God is a powerful weapon, I have learnt over the years that if everybody submit to the word of God, then all of our lives would be so much better, so much smoother. Modernization, new inventions, new ideas, feminism etc all does not shape who we are. We are what Christ says we are. And truly what tristan said reminded me of how i should behave as a woman or as a wife to him next time.
He didnt just mention about the submission, he also did mention about how husbands should love their wives just as Christ also loved the Church...:)
So conclusion of my unstructured entry..
1) Respect my husband just as he is placed as the head of me as Christ is the head of the church
2) Subject to my husband in everything just as the church is subject in christ.
3) I should become holy and without blemish
Me and tristan dear...the man who is a blessing from God, who Christ have always use to shape and mould me to be a better person ...I love you lotz dear...with all of my heart....
