Tragically, this passage has sometimes been read as a call to subjugate woman. As we look closely at the grammar, structure, and context, we instead see a beautiful picture of mutual submission that arises out of a reverence for Christ. Indeed, it was the call for husbands to submit to their wives that would have shocked the original audience, and perhaps today's hearers as well.
