hmmm...i'm picturing a man's head on top of a woman's body. ;-)

speaking for myself, i don't need a " head " , thanks (other than my own and

god's). just curious if you or other christian woman " submit " yourselves to

your husbands as your " head " , and if so - what does that entail?

> 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives

>be to their own husbands in every thing.

so, these passages represent the bible's view on the marital relationship

between husband and wife - that he is her head and she must submit to him as

she would to god (and as the church does to christ), and she is subject to

him in everything?
