okay, so… Whoa. Submission. Such an ugly word when it comes to marriage, eh? The world looks at a submissive wife as being a doormat, a slave, having no identity of her own, and they envision husbands treating their wives as property. I’m here to clear up the B(dot)S the world will shove down your throat, and tell you the real.
I SUBMIT TO MY HUSBAND.
yep, I do. However, wiping his bottom and tying his shoes, is where I draw the line. Well, until he’s physically incapable to do so himself and I’m the one with greater arm strength and kicking his ass in our wheelchair races.
I used to be that wife. The one who wanted to be ‘more than a mom’ and needed to be outside of the home 95 hours a week, to feel important. I wanted my own money, my own car, it was all about ME ME ME. Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a working mom. I’m getting to a point, hang with me for a sec.
Working wives spend nearly 9 hours a day working underneath their bosses authority and following their rules whether they like them or not, for their paycheck, right? Why is that? For the money? Perhaps… But what does that say about your marriage? If you come home and fight your husband on every single thing, belittle him, talk down to him, and cut him off emotionally and most often, intimately. Because you may not agree with his stance? Why not the same approach with your boss?
No, at work, we wait until our lunch breaks to gossip with our ‘work wives’ about how much we dislike our boss. We could be sitting at our desks at work, and when the boss makes an unexpected visit, we sit up straight to greet them. Perhaps even ask if there’s anything we can do for them. How can you then go home to your husband and tell him to make his own plate, or wash his own clothes.
There is no “I” in team. Clichè
The boss of a company has a role, he’s in a position of authority. We may not like their rules, but we follow them because of his position. We need to understand that a husband isn’t just a title, it’s a position. The husband is the head of the home. The ‘boss’ of the house. I know by now, depending who’s reading this, there may be some ruffled feathers.
“No man is my boss, I’m my own person.”
I’d like to see that attitude fly in the workplace.
If you have a man under gods authority, your house will forever fall easily into alignment. I still struggle with this from time to time, but I don’t make the rules, I just abide by them.
Be blessed. 🙂
