What is the meaning of Colossians 3:18?  Why did Paul tell wives to submit to their husbands and husbands to love their wives?  In Colossians 3:18-4:1, Paul shows how being a new creation in Christ applies to being a wife, husband, father, mother, and child.  The gospel transforms the way we do relationships in our homes.

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 
21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
