Women are to submit to their husbands. This Biblical idea is not popular with modern woman. However, this idea does not take away our equal rights with men. It only makes the wife "lesser in command" to the husband. There are not two prime ministers or two CEOs in a company. We don't have two heads. It is natural to have one ruler.
This makes finding a good husband an even more difficult and important task. Who would you be willing to follow "in all things"? A good man will love his wife as himself and will include her in his decisions. It won't be hard to submit to him.
A husband or a society cannot force wives into submission. I think this is what was done in earlier times. Men denied women basic rights in order to keep control over them.
Men need to learn that it is their love that will bring order in the families.

It is the plan of order for mankind not just Christians. Others may not want to follow this divine order but that doesn't mean that it was not given for them too. This was set up at the beginning when order was established for all creation.
Thanks for your comment and for visiting,Zarkon. Have you thought about your own position on this?
