— -- Candace Cameron Bure was on "The View" today, where she explained her "submissive marriage" comments from her new book "Balancing It All."

"I think that a lot of people don't understand the biblical term submissive," she said. "My husband and I are very unified but he’s called to love me and I’m called to submit to his leadership."

She explained it doesn't mean her husband bosses her around in any way.

"View" co-host Sherri Shepherd joked that most people think of wrestling submission and that she understood what the "Dancing with the Stars" contestant was saying.

Cameron Bure added that it's not about winning or losing -- but supporting one another.

In fact, she said if "my husband makes a decision that’s ultimately not a great decision," then he listens to her more the next time "because I'm not complaining."

Cameron Bure, who has been vocal that she won't be wearing clothes that are too revealing on "DWTS," also commented on her desire to not be too sexy or revealing.

"My goal is not to be the sexy girl even though I can wear those things, I have the body to wear them," she said. "Sexy-classy, that’s my thing."
