Subordination Is What It Is All About

That letter to the Ephesians where Paul describes the relationship of a man and woman in marriage is a stumbling block to modern Catholics. And my thought today is that it ought not be.  That was how Christ saved us, by becoming subordinate to His Father and to a situation in which there was to be certain death. How then can we women act as if subordination to our husbands is beneath us. And the fact is that true love, that the man is supposed to provide to his wife, is to be completely about the other, his wife, true service and selflessness. And that too is the gift of subordination.
