I see that referencing Ephesians 5:22 ? a lot of women off because they have an issue with the word "submit".
What does it really mean though, in that context? Here is the verse in its context:

Eph 5:22-24
22) Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23) For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24) Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

NO QUESTIONS WOMAN -
Contrary to what these hardheaded females out here think it does not mean to be a slave with no life of they own and to be at every beckoncall. It simply means to respect the man as the head of the household.
Basically women as long as you respect your man. Neither you or him will have nothing to worry about because the respect wont allow the ? to happen in relationships. -

Cosign the bolded...but a lot of females have to start by respecting themselv--oop, that's another thread. -
respect him as the head of your household
be ready and willing to follow the vision he has for his household

Support his decisions -
I am feeling the female responses so far in this thread.....

if you got a problem wit it you can step -
yeah...
too many women take that word "submit" too literal....
SMH @ the lack of analytical skill of some women.... -

Why, in 2011, does anyone think that men should be the 'head of the household'?
If I had a family, every member would be equal. My wife and I would make joint decisions for our children only in their bests interests and not for the sake of maintaining hierarchy. Men don't have better judgment than women do, they're not more mature, more wise, more intelligent etc. (at least not on the basis of their being men) so I don't see why they deserve the privilege of being 'head'. -

Agreed, but we still live in a society that is male-dominant and most men subscribe to these beliefs. That's why we still "think" it but its not necessarily true in most American households. In most happy marriages, decisions are made mutually. -

gotta love that the bible is open to interpretation
except for the whole paying a ? and cleaning up churches, I agree. -
You're still equal but you let your Man take the lead, there is always going to be a dominant person in a relationship, it's never actually 50-50.

Do u tithe the lord?
probably so therefore, where his tithe for the rent/bills?
lol, no, actually I don't go to church and I don't believe in tithing.
and i don't tithe for the rent/bills, my scholarship pays room and board on my apt so all he has to do is pay the utilities/bills, which are about equal to our rent. We typically pay rent 6 mos in advance at the beginning of each semester. -

? I don't know
We talking about what the bible says
Not what haute says -
it means when you walk in the door and he grabs your shoulders don't tense up
be laxed and loose, allow him to fling your body across the back of the couch ass in the air, and let your ass cheeks breathe as he slides his tongue down your back till he reach the front
allowing him to suck your ? until you reach ? , thus prepping the body for the viscous ass thrust he about pound down on you
now that's how you submit -
Acknowledge him as head of the household, and do what he ask you to do (within reason).
I don't see anything in there saying within reason

exactly...and thats how u know if it's meant to be, if you don't agree with anything he says or do, then he's not the one. a woman can't be in a relationship with someone we do not agree with, because we won't submit. lol -

Damn very well put.
In the end, the woman of the realtionship will have to realize that as long as she gives him the respect of the head of household. She truly has control. Most men think in terms of saving face. While most women are cool with a moral victory. She in the eyes of observers he is in control of everything. But behind close doors she has everything under control.
