Go read Proverbs 31. Amazing how often I have to point that passage out. You guys just believe what you want to believe without actually reading the source material.
Apart form that, pretty much what Neo said. Men and women tend to have differences, and matching roles to strengths in the marriage works out well in most cases. My wife's a big fan of it.
Note also that submission doesn't imply inferiority within Christianity. Jesus said "The greatest among you will be your servant" to a group of men. Jesus humbled himself to appear in human form, and submitted to the will of the father. A lot of the problem is that you guys think that power and authority imply superiority.


Submit means inferior. "accept or yield to a superior force or to the authority or will of another person" "For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church." Oh yeah, real equality there. Proverbs 31 extols the virtues of a woman who works from dawn to dusk, obeys, and keeps her mouth shut. Oh joy. A happy brainless slave.
Riiiiight. There are even groups like the "Christian Domestic Discipline" folks who advocate the "Head of the House" should "discipline" -- with a belt, preferably -- his wife for any reason, including refusing sex. Such wonderful people. http://www.christiandomesticdiscipline.com/home.html
And Proverbs? Yeah, I was forced to memorize that craptastic pile-of-shit evil book when I was a kid. Didn't even have to look that one up.
What amazes me is that people seem to think that all they have to do is mention a verse from that evil collection of moronic fairy tales, and then we'll just go "oh yeah you're right". Fascinating.
