Wives, submit to your husbands, as unto the Lord
For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church, and he is the saviour of the body.A
Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:22
Submission is key for a lady that desires a blissful marriage
Show me a submissive wife and I will tell you she’s won the heart of her husband.
NOTE
This submission does not start after “YES I DO” it starts right in courtship
A man you cannot submit to while courting you can’t submit to in marriage
Answer these questions sincerely
Do you easily agree with his opinion?
Do you see him as your head?
Do you struggle to say yes to his opinion?
Does his suggestion matter?
Are you finding it difficult to say yes sir to him?
Do you always want to have your way?
Do you interrupt him while he’s talking?
Do you shout at him because you are angry?
Do you drop his call while he is still talking because he offended you?
Who says sorry first after a misunderstanding between you both?
Are your words hurting?
How do you handle your anger management when hurt?
If your answers to the above questions are yes then you need to trend the path of learning submission
What then is submission?
Submission is the condition of being humble to obey and respect your husband audible and inaudible opinion without any iota of grunginess in your heart
Submission is also an act of submitting to the authority or control of another
Jesus knew how important submission is to a man that is why He instructed all wives to submit to their own husband without any condition of if he loves you or not.
Submission is Jesus idea that must be followed if you must enjoy your marriage.
Don’t marry any man you cannot respect/ submit to, it is disastrous.
Learning the act of submission starts with you admitting that you are not submissive to him
I was in this phase while courting my husband, I had to admit it and seek help by buying and reading books on respect and submission
I also had accountability partner because I knew without submission I can’t own my man
I also ask the Holy Spirit to work on me
Prayer was also one of the keys I used, I prayed submission into my life
There is a difference between having a man and owing a man
You can have a man by being his Mrs but to own a man is deeper than just wearing a wedding ring.
It means he has committed his entire life to you
It means he can trust you with his life
It means you are now the one in charge of the management of his life affair including all that he’s got and been submissive can get you this.
Have you seen men that can’t take any decision without consulting their wives? it is not African juju, her secret is simply obeying biblical injunction on submission and she owns her man.
Dear single sister don’t wait for marriage to submit to him
Take the necessary steps by admitting your submission level to him
- Intentionally ask him if he thinks you are submissive enough
- Ask the Holy Spirit to work on you
- Get books in that line
- Have an accountability partner
- Pray submission into your life
- Be conscious of how you relate with him, your tone and the words you use
- Make up your mind to be submissive with your determination and the help of the Holy Spirit it is achievable
Courtship is not for saying I love you, I love you, and going out together it is the time to check relevant skills and character that if neglected can pose a threat to your marriage.
If you think you know so much than him that you could find it difficult for you to submit to him then waits for the man you can submit to.
There is a lot of benefits attached to being submissive.
