Submission is never by force
Submission is so misunderstood and misinterpreted in the area of marriage building. I dabbled into a similar subject on social media where people was throwing different thoughts on the subject. Submission has been the reason why many marriages is still alive and blooming. Lack of submission is also the reason why many marriages are suffering today and are at the venrge of breaking of. Lack of submission has caused many marriage to run sour that the sweetest wine that used to keep the union together can not be traced again.
“Submission is never by force!” A young lady typed. “It is the end point of what any man gets when he has done his part.”
“I don’t understand where people get the understanding that every woman must submit.” A young man said, in support of her. “There are two parties involved and everyone is meant to give his or her own part of submission.”
“Submission was made to be an attitude. It was designed to be a life style,” I typed.
“Whatever attitude it is, one should learn it in marriage. It is what the man gives that he receives the submission of the woman,” the young lady typed.
“Exactly,” the young man typed.
It was at this juncture I type, “do you prepare for war before the war or do you prepare for war in the middle of the war? They could not replied. How can you be telling people that submission is learnt in marriage. No, there young ladies who have been taught the true art of submission and they are living their lives exhibiting it. It was once an attitude but now a life style they can’t live without.” Both of them never responded again.
It is obvious to every female that submission might mean different things
I don’t blame the young lady opinion. It might be that she was laying her view based on mutual relationships. In such relationship things grow because there is one at the giving end and there is the other at the receiving end. As long as cash and gifts are flowing, the woman remains respectful. Once the gifts seizes coming, that relationship runs sour.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 27
It is obvious to every female that submission might mean different things. If you are a young lady, whatever your take on submission is might not really make much difference because it has not experienced the true test of it. Apparently, you can go about without submitting to anyone and no one will hold it against you for any reason. Submission is never by force.
That it does not make much sense to you today does not mean it will not make much sense to you tomorrow
At that moment you might not have the authentic course for you to submit. Now you are young and single, submission might not make much sense to you. That it does not make much sense to you today does not mean it will not make much sense to you tomorrow. That submission does not make meaning to you, does not mean it does not make meaning to other young ladies who are aspiring to be submissive wives to their loving husband.
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” (Genesis chapter 2 verses 24)
If as a single young lady who has vowed to remain single all her life, submission may not be an issue. But if a lady desires to marry, she must learn the art of submission. The scripture above said a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife. There will not be proper cleaving if she does not understand the act of submission. Submission is an attribute of any wife. It was designed that once a woman becomes a wife, the attitude of submission should be there.
No one learns the art of submission in the marriage without facing the heat
The bible said, and they shall be one flesh. How can they be one flesh if the wife did not submit for the proper cleaving. Submission might mean nothing to a single woman, but it means everything to every married woman if your desire is to witness a blissful marriage. Once submission is taken away from the part of the wife, that marriage is sinking on one side that if proper care is not taken, the whole marriage might collapse.
The challenges in many marriages is the challenge of lack of preparation. So many ladies are not ready for marriage by the time they went into it. One must prepare for marriage before she steps into it. No one learns the art of submission in the marriage without facing the heat. What supposed to be a life style, is what one is trying to learn at last. There is a high probability that the bullet of marriage will blow away such person’s head.
Conclusion:
Submission is never by force in a general sense, but it is a must for any married woman. Once a woman miss it in her place of submission in marriage, anything is possible. Submission is the best key to sustain your marriage as a wife. May you be the wife who will always submit.
