Hiya, welcome to the forum, please aquaint yourself with everyone in the new members section, where you can also read the rules and regulations of being part of this forum.
Hope you enjoy it here.
As for your question, I think we need to have a basic uncerstanding of what submission is.
It isnt allowing someone to abuse, or walk all over us.
It is, prefering someone else or their feelings above our own,
In a marriage it might mean that despite feeling tired or grumpy ourselves, we make our other halves a bedtime drink kindly without complaining.
Or it might mean following their direction even if we arent sure we agree with them because we are trusting God to work in them.
It often means keeping our mouths shut when we would just like to tell them exactly what we think, and lifting them up instead of tearing them down.
I believe that in marriage, it works both ways, God has made us a team, working together to further the Kingdom on earth.
Ultimately I believe the buck stops with the husband, and any decisions that cant be agreed on have to be made by someone, and I believe the Lord has said the husband.
We are different, and our difference should be our strengths not our weaknesses,
God knows why He made us the way He did.
