Tim Challies on submission

Yesterday Tim Challies blogged on The Source of Submission. Egalitarians will not agree with him, but it is important to understand what he is saying. In particular, Tim believes that submission of a wife to her husband was ordained by God before Adam and Eve sinned:
the fact that women are to submit to their husbands is not merely the product of the Fall of the human race into sin, but is a product of God’s creation. Even if sin had never entered the world, a wife would still be expected to submit to her husband. Having studied this issue I believe that is a fair statement and wrote this brief article in an attempt to prove my understanding.
I have also found it helpful to read through the comments on Tim's post. Some agree with Tim; others do not. Yet all the comments I read seemed respectful of one another.
