How To Be A Submissive Wife

When your husband says something that frustrates or offends you, your first instinct might be to snap back—but that only fuels more conflict. A submissive wife practices restraint.Responding harshly invites strife. But answering gently—even when you’re hurt—disarms tension and invites peace. You’re not silencing your voice—you’re choosing wisdom over reaction.Proverbs 15:1 says, “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” Scripture confirms what experience teaches: calm words create calm hearts.Honor your husband—and your marriage—by guarding your tone. Gentleness is power under control.
