Very true. You cannot have submission without love. If a husband loves his wife as Christ loved the church
and gave Himself for it, then he will respect her. She can then voluntarily submit in respect for his giving and sacrifice for her.
Ephesians puts a greater responsibility on the man than the woman. The wife is asked to submit, but the man is asked to do all he can, up to and including giving his life for, his wife. So she gives
of herself daily, but he is asked to give
all of himself daily.
