And how often have you seen husbands pull the "Because I'm your husband and, you promised to obey me." card on their unwilling wives? How many wives stay in horrible, abusive relationships because they think their church says the have to stay there?
Submit goes beyond obey, to many that means cower down before, let them use you as they see feet, become a doormat and like it or die trying to like what you hate. That is not what it SHOULD or does mean ideally, but shoulds and ideals are not reality.
We don't need anything form any authority that can be construed to mean someone MUST accept abuse and live in such situations, even if it kills them to do so.
