Now from this perspective we see the woman's CALL in marriage — it is the service of the Lord by “submit[ting]” to the covenantal headship of her husband (as verse. 23 elaborates upon). She is to yield to the husband’s pastoral care. She is to follows his spiritual guidance. She is to seek his physical protection. She is to follow the pace he sets and the direction he goes. In essence, the woman is to submit to her husband in all things that on account of his pastoral care she might become the woman God has called her to be.
Now in a perfect world, this sounds wonderful. Yet, in a fallen world in which every man is at best a sinner, this can be a difficult call! Yet, the woman of God can fulfill this call willingly and confidently!
