Billionaire madam, Folorunsho Alakija, has taught the value of being submissive in marriage.
Referring to the issue of submission (Ephesians 5:23) in the scriptures, she says it has always been a controversial one.
She says it’s a God-given duty for a wife to submit to her husband but the husband shouldn’t abuse their authority.

She argues:
“Submission in marriage has always been a controversial topic, but what does it really mean?
“As a Christian wife, it is your God-given duty to submit to and obey your husband as both of you submit to one another and Christ.
“While there are many references in the Bible about how a woman should behave in marriage, there are also scriptures that guide men on how they ought to treat their wives.
“Often overlooked, however, is that men are equally obliged to love, nourish and cherish their wives.
Christian husbands should not abuse their authority.
Let the word of God in Ephesians 5:21-25 guide you in leading a peaceful marriage.”
