I don't think that it is wrong to dress up our physical bodies, I think that physical attraction is important in a marriage (and I don't doubt that your husband does find you physically beautiful AS WELL as internally beautiful) but more attention should definitely be paid to our internal self as that is what will last.<br /><br />I'll be interested to see what you think about submission to the husband by the wife. I think that if the husband is also obeying God's instructions to him, submission is not a chore and will direct the family in the right path. It also doesn't mean doing every little, tiny thing he says (i.e., being his slave) but is something that comes from love and respect. If he is leading as Christ leads and loves the church, then where he directs will be beneficial. This is one reason we are told not to be unequally yoked. Anyway...as you said, more on that later! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454178191447024827noreply@blogger.com
