Should Wives Submit to their Husbands?... Wrap up (pt 1, 2, 3, 4) So, if you've stuck with the series, you know the answer is "yes." AND husbands need to submit to their wives. The whole thing is rooted in three things- First, the brokenness of this world, which leads to a lot of pain, but specifically in marriage leads women to want to rule their husbands and husbands to want to dominate their wives (Gen 3:16).

It's my contention it's an important one to have (in fact, I think I need to write a post on why!)- but I'd like to know what you all think. Here's my response to Mr. Estes: October 27, 2009 Virtual Church is STILL a Bad Idea Online churches are missing a few essential ingredients. by Bob Hyatt **Editor's Note: I apologize for the lack of posts in recent days.
