Candace Cameron Bure is coming under media scrutiny for a taking a "submissive" role to her husband, former hockey player Valeri Bure. 

Yes it is the year 2014 but for former Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure sticking to Biblical foundation is how she said she has made her marriage work for over 17 years. 

In her new book "Balancing It All," the actress/mom/wife said she has a "submissive role" to her husband.

"My husband is a natural born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring this take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything. I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work."

Bure spoke on HuffPost Live with host Nancy Redd about her views on marriage. Redd started off her interview by explaining the importance of a healthy marriage but then questioned Bure on a quote she said in her new book that she deemed a little "controversial" for the year 2013.

"The word submissive is a very powerful choice," Redd said after quoting the actresses' book.

Bure went on to explain her choice term, "The definition I'm using with the word 'submissive' is the Biblical definition of that," she said. "So, it is meekness, it is not weakness. It is strength under control, it is bridled strength."

"And, listen, I love that my man is a leader," she continued. "I want him to lead and be the head of our family. And those major decisions do fall on him. ... It doesn't mean I don't voice my opinion. It doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. I absolutely do, but it is very difficult to have two heads of authority."

Bure has defended her view of marriage before. On Christian Women Online she cited the Biblical passage, "First Peter 3:1 says, 'In the same way, you wives be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives.'"

"It is very difficult to have two heads of authority," she told HuffPost Live. "It doesn't work in military, it doesn't work - I mean, you have one president, you know what I'm saying?"

"In my marriage we are equal ... in our importance, but we are just different in our performances within our marriage," she continued.

Her family has been criticized before for sticking to Biblical principles. Her brother, former Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron was criticized in 2012 for comments he made about gay marriage to CNN's Piers Morgan.

Bure sought to explain that she does not consider her role as a wife to be less than that of her husband's in their relationship. However, the backlash continued for Bure as the media has expressed their opinion on the actresses' choice to follow a Biblical practice.

"So remind me again ... what century are we living in?" EOnline said, providing commentary to Bure's comments.

"Why would anyone choose to be submissive to another person? Marriage is 50/50 and the power needs to be equal. To say that you're submissive according to the Bible is mind boggling. The Bible is one of the most misogynist books ever written" a report from CNN added.

Bure's view of marriage may be seen as "controversial" or "old school" but Bure is sticking to her guns as a woman of God, and someone who lives by the Word of God.
