What does it mean for a Christian wife to be submissive in marriage?

What does it mean for a woman to be submissive in marriage, particularly Christian marriage? What is your conception and understanding of submission? What do you think it looks like?

If you are going to be a submissive wife, then you must marry a man who knows how to make good decisions, how to lead, and have a good head on his shoulders.

I know that a lot of men in the Southern states in America 🇺🇸 considers himself to be the owner of his wife. And she must do everything that he wants and says.

I believe that if you are able to find a man like the one I described in the first paragraph, then it would a blessing to the wife. It would take a lot of stress to have a husband who takes charge of most things to keep everything as it should be. Like, take care of the car 🚗, when something is broken he finds a way to fix it. Takes care of paying the bills. Takes care of the house like keeping thes years looking nice.

I've been married twice and everything that I have mentioned that the man should be taking care of, they didn't take care of anything and it all fell on my shoulders. I was working full-time and caring for my disabled son AND doing everything that is expected from the wife.

It got old after a while and also made me think less of them as a man.

It basically means that if there is a choice that they disagree on, she lets him make the final decision. Also she lets him lead the household.

After the recent experience, I'm not just theorizing but i am feeling how biblical marriage is more likely symbolic than not.

The bride is the soul and the groom is the spirit.

Firstly, I feel like i just got a second birth: having my shadow self (or "ahrimanic double" / inner demon of cleverness) in the chokehold. That in other words is... When we see horrors, we absorb them. Or even hear or have passed through DNA. If we do not feel profoundly saddened by them using the bright spiritual "self" and the soul, then it the horror has nowhere to go but get shoved to the shadow to feast upon and grow.

We must have compassion.

And so, we need a healthy marriage (spirit × soul) in order to overpower the "demon" in us.

Once we do that, it is IMPOSSIBLE to either be a bad wife/husband nor is it possible to be attracted to a bad person.

And no. ... i am not special. This is the destiny of every human. It just means you stop inflicting suffering and so-called "bad luck" which is merely our fears/demons being stronger than our souls/spirits.

I mean it sounds comical but think about it. Our nervous system has all the hardware to run our consciousness. Why wouldn't it fit in another entity... What Carl Jung called merely a shadow of unconscious is an actual entity with its own consciousness. Like inside us are two wolves sort of thing.

I always, always, always laughed at such stories. I think that demon in me is what laughed. Lol. Haha. No i mean it is not a caricature fiction type of demon. It's a form of consciousness that wants to maximize its survival and power.

It is what many people call the ego. And it is sadistic. So what do you do to overpower it? You must, must, must strengthen your spirit, your christ ego.

Most people do not grasp this distinction between these two egos in us. Many sick people either inflate their dark ego or suppress the good ego, both end up the same.

Really, why else do people fight against their own habits so much?

Basically she that decides to follow the husband, and be his ultimate supporter and helper.. Helper as in helping him to make decisions and raise the household.. Not that he controls her, but she looks to him as the captain.. The final decision maker..

I think a lot of women mistake submissions for slavery. It's not. It means she let's her husband lead. She manages the home and kids while the husband provides, and leads.

Both should put the other person before themself

[dudeinohio]

My wife refers the important issues to me. We are mostly partners, however.

Good to hear you like the arrangement 👖☺️

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

The simplest definition is to surrender her will to the husband.
