I was doing some research on here recently and I ran into some of my old posts - and had the exact same thoughts! Don't know if I've matured much though.
Please keep me in your prayers!
I agree with unworthy1, the verse does not place a condition on the wive's sumbission. I think it's important to remember it is not the husband that the wife is submitting to, but Christ - because He is the one that commabded it. So worthy or not, …

Miracleseek,
Your name is truly adequate as nothing short of a miracle will fix this issue.
Have you considered that your wife might need psychological/medical attention? The situation you described is not at all normal and certainly shocking in …
Thank you for your thoughtful responses Unworthy1 & billious!
I'm feeling much more motivated now, and will do my very best to never let a day go by!
Pleasee pray for me!
I can see how it can go wrong, but can't it also help me focus to know that I am sitting at the feet of Jesus, or at the foot of His thrown - and He is intently listening?

Is there another source of stress ? Work for example ?
I find that I am easily agitated with the people im closest to when I'm a little bit stressed.
If you do find that you are stressed.. Perhaps speak to your confession father about what's bothe…
I know.. I thought that too.
