A godly biblical relation isn`t as simple as the submission of the man to God and the woman to the man but rather God leading the relationship through the man and the man submitting the relationship to God. The woman then sees the image of Christ in the man and naturally submits. In this way she is subitting to God. If the relationship is more important to the man than God the man will end up hurting the spiritual growth of the woman and himself. In other words if the Man is not submitted to God it affects the relationship in a negative way since the Man and women is once flesh. The reverse is also true if the woman is not submitted to Christ because of sin she will not be submissive to a godly man and will be a hinderance in his pursit to Christ instead of an encouragement.
Of this woman the proverb is true:
A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; Pr. 27:15 and
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. Pr 21:9
Check Eph. 6:21-33 for further reference
This is why it is important dear brothers and sisters to not just find a Christian to marry, but someone who PURSUES CHRIST in other words a Man or Woman of God. The relationship must be Christ centered. Meaning the relationship starts as a result of FELLOWSHIP and not by carnal means.
What does this look like practically
Well everytime you get together the conversation is like 90% theology and yo ucan naturally PRAY AND WORSHIP with that person with out feeling awkward.
In Christ,
Evangel
