Should wives submit? Debate resurges in some Christian circles
For the Bible’s authors, it was pretty clear how marriage works.
Men lead.
Women follow.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s run for the White House put this traditional Christian view of submission in the spotlight. Bachmann, like many conservative Christians, believes that wives should submit to their husbands. That’s led some to ask whether she’d have to obey her husband when it comes to public policy.
