What women rightly long for is spiritual and moral initiative from a man, not spiritual and moral domination. What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this: It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence. What biblical submission for the wife is NOT: 1. Submission is not merely a concept for women. 2. Submission does not mean that the wife becomes a slave. 3. Submission does not mean that the wife never opens her mouth, never has an opinion, never give advice. 4. Submission does not mean that the wife becomes a wallflower who folds up and allows her abilities to lie dormant. 5. Submission does not mean that the wife is inferior to the husband. For the woman: here is your first-date advice. Remember that God wants you to help this man, and he probably needs it! Many men will be awkward and nervous on a first date, so do everything you can to be encouraging and friendly. Dress attractively, appropriately, and modestly (unless you really are hoping to attract a cad). Immodest dress or suggestive conversation is nothing less than an attempt to manipulate his interest. Women who do this incite men to lust and cause them to stumble, while starting the relationship on a very poor footing. Furthermore, do not be demanding or critical and do not complain (remember Prov. 21:9), and speak in a careful and edifying manner. Take an interest in him and get to know things about his life – his family, his work, and his interests. Speak freely about your faith and inquire about his.
