See, I'm from India, I'm a hindu . My wife is also submissive. I love her so much that I can't even think about spending even a day without her . She is submissive to me and loves me selflessly . I am so much happy in life . 💕💕

I follow the word of God, but like you, sometimes I say or make suggestions in a way that upsets my husband. I pray for God to help me, and I am learning to make sure respect is my first approach when working with my husband.

People around us, mostly his family and friends are clearly shocked or surprised of how I take care of my husband. His friends hope their wifes would do the same, and the wifes tell me that it is crazy, and that my actions are taking all the progress women have made back to the stone age.

Thank you so much for your wonderful tips. My husband and I were actually arranged marriage but we believe that it was his holiness, Jesus himself who set us together. Now my only purpose in life is to be a good submissive to my husband which I would like to appreciate since this video helps a lot! I have tried being as submissive as I can and I believe my husband wants what's best for me but lately due to the stress of having our first child I have been arguing with him more, what should I do?

One thing rarely touched on - submission opens the door for a (good) husband to dote (in a healthy way) way on his wife.
(Without submission he always asks himself am I just encouraging narcissism, emotional whims, entitlement...)

Mary, you did an excellent job of explaining this in a loving way. Anything I might add probably is going to just be repeating what’s already been said. Still, we are never too old to learn.
As someone who’s been married for 46 years and still young😉…I admit there have been times when I resisted submission, guilty of wanting my own way. However, I’m almost always happiest when I do show my love and respect for my husband in the manner of submitting to him.
I found the following on submission and thought it appropriate.

We find diversity within unity in both the three-in-one bond of the Trinity and in the one-flesh union between a husband and wife.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are fully equal in the sense that all three are God. At the same time, there’s a certain hierarchy in their unity. For example, Jesus clearly spoke of Himself as being equal with God (John 5:18) — and then He said, “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28, ESV).

The apostle Paul also compares marriage to the connection between Christ and the Church. The relationship isn’t of master to servant; it’s of lover and beloved.
Men and women have equal worth…believing this we shouldn’t feel threatened by submitting to our husbands.

women often fail to understand is that when you have the strength to submit what you are doing is compelling a man to be responsible and to commit. Is that not what you want? If it is what you want position yourself with docility to compel his journey towards responsibility And commitment. The pressure in the crucible of responsibility turns coal into diamonds. Women who turn princes into frogs forget this. All women who turn frogs into princes understand this completely. To be submissive to a man is a tremendous compliment and men will go to the ends of the earth to fulfill The lofty aspiration of those who believe in us.

How to be a biblical submissive wife; obey your husband in everything that isn't explicit sin and not only in outward deeds, but conform yourself to the spirit of his will. The end, everything else is lies and extra biblical deception.

Also, it is not only Ephesians 5, it is explicit from Genesis to Revelation what the place of a woman is in relation to her husband. This is hammered on over and over and over. Woman was made for man, man was not made for woman. Women's reason for existence is to be mans helper, to reverence and obey him. It is core to a woman's very being.

You absolutely fo not, ever, "instruct" your husband, you have no authority over him, he is over you. You take instruction, you do not give it. Not a single thing listed is an act of submission, just basic, normal every day tasks of a secular feminist wife. Submission is to conform to the will of one in authority over you, in this case, your husband.

Great video! How did you meet your husband? Do you have any advice for older women searching for men who want to marry a submissive wife?

[theepervette]

Good video. I strive to be this. And agree with all except the religious aspects

[JuniperGal-ekpu]

This isn't submission though. Plus, All of the things you said are mutual things both partners should do in my book.

Mary, God Bless you! I don’t agree, because the Bible was written in a time where women had no rights, power or voice, but we all have to follow our own path, and if you are happy with your Husband making your decisions and living to please him then I applaud you for your strength, love and kindness.

The best wife material is one that is a girly girl and agreeable, or shy and passive. She just has to be herself and any father should be proud to have such a daughter.

[carlatolentino]

My therapist said in order for our marriage to work I have to be submissive. I’m so lost 😞

"instruct my husband."

Who is the head of the wife?

[DarkNinja]

Girl, are you using a metal spatula on a non stick pan?

Submission to our husbands is not easy!
It takes a strong woman to lay her pride aside.
God said to Eve in Genesis 3:16 "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." This was a curse put upon women to want to rule over their husbands. It was a curse because it is not how things are supposed to be!

"The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church."

[NotaSlave]

Not really submission just a Western feminist way of being not confrontational. Women have no idea about men

[dominantman]

I think the best way to make your wife submit by writing rules for her
