This thread caught my eye for a couple of reasons. One of them was that it was written by a woman which really surprised me.
Right on, Harley. And that's what I'm talking about. A submissive woman makes me want to serve her and love her even more. I respect gentle, submissive women twice as much as I respect women who are neutral on the subject. And about ten times as much as those who boss their husbands around. Honestly, if I had a submissive young lady as my second half I'd respect her, serve her (as I did my ex at first), love her, consider her advice and above all take pride in her. I think that's the kind of bride our master Jesus would be pleased to have.
Great thread, ladies. Really surprised.
P.S. I don't think it would work out as well if men were submissive to women. For example, my ex was the take-charge type. If I tried to be the decision-maker she'd take offense. If I tried to submit she'd disrespect me. It was a no-win situation.

I'm like Harley Angel in that I have a very dominant personality at times. I believe the Bible and I believe the instruction of the Bible with respect to order of submission. That being said, like Harley, my husband loves & respects me & seeks out my opinions in all things but... ultimately when my mind needs to change, he in his wonderfully gentle way exercises his authority and I receive that cause I know its right. Men & women are created differently and this is the reason for this. In my opinion in my situation I am more of an emotional responder where my husband is more of an analytical responder. It is definitely better to make household desicions in a non emotional headspace. That being said sometimes the emotional response is completely and totally valid and correct especially when it comes to matters in the protection & rearing of our Children. Normally he takes my opinion in these matters & he NEVER EVER messes with the nest! (translation, the house is mine!!! the shop is his) i remember once many years ago, he received a harley davidson calendar from a biker friend for christmas and hung it on my kitchen wall (girls in bikinis) and said I live here too you know... I said fine. The next day I purchased a calendar that I would normally NEVER purchase of firemen in bikini's and hung it in his shop. Needless to say he suddenly understood my point. Although I found the bikini babes offensive in my kitchen (or anywhere for that matter) I let him come to the understanding with some thoughtful manipulation on my part hee hee! Then we started a campfire with the firemen.

Lol, the calander thing is funny! It's the same way at my house...the house is mine, the garage is his. I lethim keep his otorcycle boots out and he's got 1 bookshelf that he can put "approved" items on. If I don't like the way it looks, he gets to put it somewhere else. Mostly he keeps his hat, his mags, and some tools on it lol. Makes him feel good, but doesn't make my place look like a bachelor pad.
Fantastic thread introduction WomanLovesTX!!!
I will share this idea, that the women I have seen in my life who truly are submissive to their husbands, those women I found to be the most beautiful women I have ever known. Indeed, not even one of them ever wore makeup either, nor was it necessary, as they had a beauty that shown from deep within.

Hee hee its funny you say this as in our entrance way to our house sit two harleys, the bowler hat of our dear friend who passed away, wolf, bear, & coyote pelts... suppose these items arent really to my taste but I've set them up so they look kinda pretty. Yup it's his house too and all who enter in see that just before they walk into my world (this is his world too but I always have the most say!) We are blessed in that when we go shopping for furniture we share the same taste in rustic country kinda stuff (cept my lacey white drapes & doileys) He's comfortable here so thats good cause I wouldnt want him going somewhere else to get comfortable!

no one said anything about slave - different roles and resposibilities is not slavery
the fact is, she was to assist him; not the other way round
Gen 3 16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
