Christians: Bachmann said submissive is synonymous with respect, what say you?

She said that when she says she is submissive to her husband, she means she respects him, his opinion, that they both respect each other. So are Christians using that word differently than the rest of the English speaking world? Is she just using language with her particular audience to influence them, or maybe is so entrenched in her religion she does not know how the word submissive sounds to the rest of the outside world? Obviously, the woman is not in a marriage where she is kept barefoot, pregnant, and under the control of her husband in some sort of domineering way, but she still sees fit to use the word submissive.

Please no attacks on religion, or extreme sarcasm. Thanks.
