Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has been called upon to defend another Bible passage -- the one about wives submitting to their husbands.

At Thursday night's Fox News debate in South Carolina, Huckabee explained that the passage from the New Testament book of Ephesians also commands the husband to love his wife and submit himself to the Lord.

Huckabee said that while the Bible passage has nothing to do with being president, it is a guide for Christian marriage.

He added that he'll neither hide his faith, nor impose it on others, but will live it as best he can whether he's elected president or not.
