Submission = Respecting a husband that respects himself, wife and the vows he took with the wife.

MarvellousGod:
I think submission has to with giving in to one's husband. . Could be attributed to being loyal too. .

One thing many guys forget while screaming submission is that love and submission go hand in hand in marriage. . God even instructed husbands first to love their wives before He instructed wives to submit.

You don't treat a woman like trash and expect submission. . Submission will come naturally if you treat your wife like your own, infact she go dey adore you sef

freecocoa:
I don't know what you mean.

People can submit to whom ever they want.

The question is what submission means, not who to submit to.

freecocoa:
Is there supposed to be a different meaning from what the word really means?

Submission is yielding or surrendering oneself to the will or authority of another.

It is pretty much self explanatory, no need to twist anything.

5minsmadness:
It is generally accepted that in any sane marriage institution the wife is meant to be submissive to her husband. Wether Christian or Muslim or pagan, the wife has to be a good follower to enable the man lead properly or else chaos ensues.
Just as you can't have two drivers in a car, you can't have two leaders in a marriage. Even a team has a Team leader.

So what does it mean for a wife to be submissive? And where does one draw the line between submission and slavery? Is there any difference between the two?

coogar:


submission is the main condition a woman must before even considering herself as a wife. if she is not willing to submit, she's not in a marriage.

@bold: What Does submission mean to you?

freecocoa:
My dear, it depends on how you define submission because as you can clearly see, it's subjective.

Lemme know how you define submission.

Topic: submission is a two way thing else its outright slavery.

submission has a clear meaning....it's not subjective!

submission is a gift a woman chooses to give her husband. it's a free will, a decision she's made to be led him, to accept his authority and to be her hubby's helper whenever he needs aid.

2CatWoman:


No I wasn't pregnant but that was the kind of extreme example that gives the pro-submissives HBP.

Now I come to think of it what has cooking got to do with being a submissive wife . I direct this question to the OP

freecocoa:
Good, I like the way you defined it, you understand that it's the woman's place to decide, some men don't believe that.

freecocoa:
I'll take it you mean in the way I defined it, if that's how you mean, then am sorry, not gonna happen.

We submit to each other.

teambuck2u:


BeeKay, can we have discuss submission? Actually, I just want to pick your brain on the topic. Are you game?

What's your take on submission in marriage considering the bible's stand?

teambuck2u:


Mutual submission will not work for us. One week of my dominant displays and you're hooked for life. I will only submit to you in the sack I'm afraid. And every time you address me, you'll do so as "my lord".

freecocoa:
I need to laugh please. if ever I have to address you as 'my lord' don't misinterpret it, I am your queen while at it, and queens are rulers too, you will do what I want sometimes, sometimes will be because you want to, sometimes just to make me happy even if you really don't agree with me, just like I will do for you.

That's the only way it will work for me.

bukatyne:

Pele
I 100% agree and preach it. I even have a thread on it.
You need to catch up.

they do!
it's just that men find it bizzare that a woman would marry a man without the intention of submitting to him. if she cannot submit, why marry him?

Could you be kind as to provide a link to the thread?

freecocoa:
I guess it's because men make it seem like she doesn't have a choice, and if she tries to explain it to him, he thinks she's not "wifely" Plus these men also don't believe that, women should take important decisions, submission doesn't mean slavery.

coogar:


if he truly loves you, he will have no problem doing the bolded bit of this sentence. the crux of the issue is when you & him have opposite opinion about an issue that has to be resolved instantly.

whose opinion would you take? yours or his?

dubylhover:


two people cant submit to each other,cos d concept of d term submission means that there has to b a sort of fealty or allegiance to a dominant..so its either a lady submits to d man or d man submits to d lady..submitting to each doesnt make much sense and logic...in every institution,there shud always b a head who has d final say on decisions,though d person cud listen to other ideas and contribution, 2 people cant lead,and two people definitely cant submit to each other
