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.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.Ephesians 5:22-33

OP = original post or original poster.

It doesn’t seem that the description you quoted bears much similarity to the situation in the OP. 🤷

Or maybe This
  1. Makes women think that all they have to do to succeed in life is show up. Today’s woman thinks she deserves the fruits of life just because she’s a woman, that since her gender was “oppressed” for so long it’s time to receive reparations through generous societal benefits and advantages in education at the expense of men who weren’t even alive during the supposed period of inequality. The result is a woman who is viciously entitled when it comes to receiving good grades, jobs, or relationships. When she fails at gaining these three, she does not blame herself, but both men and her feminine condition.

Hesso, you seem to have found a hammer and are now assuming that every problem is a nail. It’s not.

In the meantime, let’s focus on the OP’s actual problem, and if you can’t, maybe the rest of us can remember our friend the ignore function. 🤷

How does this play out for you in daily life with your wife? We have lots of posts on these kinds of threads quoting Ephesians, but not many real life applications or detailed examples. It would be nice to read from those responding how it actually works on a daily basis in their marriage. That might cut down on some of the drama that usually gets going when these threads are started.

We have lots of posts on these kinds of threads quoting Ephesians and now posting bullet points from random blogs and links, but not many real life applications or detailed examples.

So, what concretely is your advice to the original poster?
