It bothers me when men take a bible verse OUT of CONTEXT.
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. ~ Colossians 3:18 - 25
Also the word Love in Greek is 'agape' meaning sacrificial love. That is he would give up his life for yours unquestionably. In the broader context Jesus Christ demonstrated that love by giving up his own life as a sacrifice for his Bride, the Church.
But they are not ready to show that unconditional love and they want a submissive wife They want to eat their cake and have it
