Huckabee: Women Should Submit To Their Husbands?
S A Y W H A T ? ? ?
I am now also at the Care2 Election Blog — And this story is cross-posted there.
This link came to me by way of Joy at Care2. This is from a post at Crooks and Liars.
Huckabee’s opinion on gay marriage is out there, but we should also be publicizing Huckabee’s opinions on heterosexual marriage. Specifically, what he believes about a women’s role in a marriage.
In August of 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full page USA Today Ad which declared: “I affirm the statement on the family issued by the 1998 Southern Baptist Convention.” What was in the family statement from the SBC? “A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ.” Read on…
The Huckster is trying his best to hide his full gospel, but somehow I doubt this factoid will attract more women to his campaign. If you needed further proof that this religious extremist will set our country back even further than President Bush has, look no further. Of course, what do we expect from a man who lobbied to have a convicted serial rapist paroled for political gain.

I don’t feel that Huckabee is an extremist. I am a huge supporter of Huckabee. When people who really do not understand the Bible talk about submission, they usually do not really understand biblical submission.
We (husband & wife) submit to each other. We form a partnership in marriage. God created Eve from Adam’s side. Neither the husband nor the wife are superior to one another. We have an equal partnership…no one rules over the other.
I have been married for 21 years to a SBC minister. The media has taken submission way out of context. I sure hope you have a better understanding of submission.
