While not yet married, but soon to be, I'm learning about how to be a submissive wife. I'm just so thankful and grateful to have such a man that is so eager to take care of me, the kind of man that a lot of women I know would love to have. I keep hearing The Lord tell me that He's put this man on my life, why not let my guard down, trust God and submit? I've definitely learned that this life isn't meant to be experiences alone, and I find so much joy in this new season of life. Thank you so much for a great post! One that I so greatly needed at this moment.

One conclusion I came to is that most of us don't really see ourselves as being unsubmissive because we don't really understand submission itself. Adapting yourself to your husband is a pretty good starting place to figuring that all out :-)Marty Haddinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812059474528082181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705869791802318598.post-62132573008445936722013-05-13T18:47:11.851-04:002013-05-13T18:47:11.851-04:00It really is so true that some people equate submi...It really is so true that some people equate submission with being a doormat.
