21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Who is to submit?
YOU ARE!!!
Why? Because you revere Christ.
Communication Styles… the first step is pausing and being willing to listen.
Men are like _waffles_.
Women are like _spaghetti_.
We will come back to this…
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
WHY???
WHY???
23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
What is the order God sets?
What is the order God sets?
_God_, _man_, _woman_.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Husbands _LOVE_,
Why???
Why???
…as _Christ_,
...as _Your_ _own_ _body_.
The woman’s communication opens up when she feels loved.
The man’s love opens up when he feels heard and respected.
29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body.
We take care of _ourselves_.
Likewise…
God takes care of _us_.
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
A man should _leave_,
And _cleave_.
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Women _respect_, 61 words
Men _love_. 141 words
Women’s communication styles…
A woman has conversations like a pile of spaghetti. every other little piece touches all the others. Women actually come closer to multi-tasking than men because of this communication style.
Look at this illustration…
No I meant this one…
