Relationship Pathway: Submission
Different schools of thoughts have aired the views on the doctrine of SUBMISSION. My job is not to discard or approve any of those ideas. I am here to establish an balance as it is revealed directly in the parlance of the One who authored it.
Before I quote reference. The salient truth is, I the woman tends to benefit more in the marriage when she knows so well how to imploy the instrument of SUBMISSION. That said, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." Eph5:22. This is speaking directly to wives. Those who are legally married. It's not speaking to two confused opposite sexes who live together as boy/man and girl/woman friends. Neither is it referring to those who have not properly married the wives they are currently living with producing children for them.
Important still, there is an inherent, hidden and potent power in SUBMISSION. Let's break it into two - Sub+mission. That simply means, there is an intension or mission in mind. But this serves a litmus test to getting the real mission achieved. Note, no responsible husband will neglect every act of submission. The proper way to get the best out of a man is to make his feel like one. Prime his ego with submission. Give the power to whom deserves it. You will wonder at the result.
