(3,212 posts)The vast majority of the ones who believe in submission do not believe anything close to what is in this article.
Submission to most Baptists means that in rare cases, the husband has the last word - like if he has to move for his job (assuming he brings in the bulk of the income), he gets the last say. Even to most Baptists, a woman should be strong and capable to run her household, and should be free to make many choices in her life. Her sphere. Think 1950's wife: she runs the house, decorates it, does what she wants during the day, etc. It's her sphere of life and she controls it.
In reality, it's how a lot of marriages work to to this day if the woman doesn't work outside the house. (Any many southern baptist wives work outside the home. Their daughters go to college and can have careers.)
Then, there's the nut jobs like the ones who believe in arranged marriage and having gobs of kids, but they are a small minority, thankfully.
Myself - I'm a lapsed Catholic.
