Peter even writes "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." So when a husband isn't leading the way, the command is still tomb respectful, and in so doing the husband may be won over.

Even in the garden, the WOMAN fell first, but God blamed the MAN. When you are married to a saved man, it is HIS responsibility to love his wife the Bible way, then the rest will fall in place. Like one pastor repeatedly says, "I have NEVER seen a woman unwillingly to submit to a man who truly loves her as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it."
