Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Hi, you are right to pull me up on my comment, thank you! I am sorry for my comment. I was reacting to past abuse of woman, through spritual coercion and control that had nothing to do with you. I should be taking that to God instead of...
Submission has to be given it cannot be taken, cause than it is force not submission.
