Nancy Leigh DeMoss, God bless her, is persevering in teaching and exhorting and correcting our attitudes about women submitting to husbands and men, in general. The reviveourhearts website is pretty much dedicated to that goal- showing it to be God's way.
This week she interviewed Anne Ortlund, who wrote the book THE DISCIPLINES OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN (I think). The interview was very edifying to me, and I recommend it to all, especially women -both those who are already onboard with the concept that God wills that women submit with grace, trusting Him to work in the heart(s) of the man or men involved, and those who believe that the guidelines of our present American culture which steer differently are the correct course, and "biblical", also.
I refer you to that website, and to Anne Ortlund, (and to 1st PETER 3) with only one other comment: Anne mentioned in response to the general disapproval emanating from the American culture about the general topic of women submitting (the idea being that women are so oppressed by men in cultures where submission is a main principle, by saying that it is in Christian cultures that that women are treated the best. It is cultures that hate Christ that are most oppressive toward women.
