I am quite certain that I will get an immense amount of static for saying this, but my beliefs are one in the same. God says that wives should submit to their husbands. My husband is the head of our home, and his say is ultimately what we will carry out.
Yes, God is my Master, but my Husband is my Master as well. I entrust him with my life and well being. I have no idea how 'Master/slave' has become such a taboo, but we feel in our heart of hearts that it is right.
I am grateful to see that there are like minded christians out there. I was beginning to think that we were the only ones that lived this way. I pray that more and more couples like us begin to come out of the woodwork.
Thank you for your story, and God bless!

I will also add that being a submissive to Master (husband) is my pleasure and joy. It makes to happy to please him, and in turn create a happy environment in our home. He takes my thoughts into consideration when it comes to decisions, but I trust he will make the one that is best for our family. It is not just a biblically based reason, however I do not (nor does my pastor) believe that it goes against any kind of biblical teaching. As long as it is kept within your marriage, it does not. And a Master /sub relationship does not necessarily mean torture and pain, for those of you making comments about that.
“I am quite certain that I will get an immense amount of static for saying this….”
Translation: “I intend to create lots of static.”
Can you imagine if your church was holding a friendly Wednesday night fellowship and I burst into the doors announcing that I’m about to say something that’s guaranteed to create controversy? I hope that somebody in your group would have the wisdom to set me straight. I certainly would not want to continue being so obtuse and haughty.
Your other comment: “I have no idea how 'Master/slave' has become such a taboo...”
You don’t understand? For REALS?!?
Then why did you follow with the comment: "….does not necessarily mean torture and pain…” So sado/masochism isn’t necessarily taboo to you?
I’m going to tell you exactly what I see here. I see a woman who manipulates. I see a controller who is boasting to the world that she is a willing slave but in reality is trying to enslave this site with controversy ("static").
Because IF it was actually the spirit of Jesus Christ conforming you into His own submissive nature, you would not be on a forum boasting about how you have made yourself a slave to obey. You suggest that your husband is your master and yet you have not submitted to God with a humble heart. You are promoting yourself, your own behavior, and your beliefs, and stated that you are certain it's going to cause static on this forum.
That is not a submissive spirit – that in fact is a controlling spirit. It is prideful, vain, and suggestive. If it was of God you would have lifted up Jesus Christ, not yourself.
Philippians 2:3 -- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
I John 4:1 -- Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.
RLynn, your entire post acknowledges YOU.
NOTE:
Dear men and women of God, don't let these "false prophets" rile you. If any man or woman is the Lord's, they would look and act like Him, ya know? Jesus wasn't haughty and prideful. He made Himself of no reputation. Anyone that comes onto this site bragging about their own accomplishments, know that they are not speaking from Jesus' point of view.
