Now if you take the stance that this is not cultural and that it applies to christians of today the only thing I get is that longer hair might possibly be more please and respectful towards the husband. Am I reading this wrong?

Delta, you got it on track. The fact is that the scripture in Corinthians is not talking about cutting hair. It is talking about submission to authority. I started out having the same question you have now. My wife does not cut, burn or color either. But I have told her that the truth is that the verses that the UPC controlers have taught that it is wrong but at a closer look the scripture is taken out of context.
