“To truly be feminine means being soft, receptive, and — look out, here it comes — submissive.” -Gabrielle Reece
Its music to my ears to hear such a strong and well known gold medalist, mother and WIFE utter these words.
After all, this is what the bible demonstrates as a faithful wife.
1 Peter 3:1-6 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
Although she made no mention of Christ, I found it inspiring that the tools she had learned to make her marriage work were exactly what the Bible directs wives too, SERVICE, SUBMISSION, & GENTLENESS.
I'd say that is some pretty substantial evidence of the Bibles solidity and God's desiring the best for his sons and daughters.
