"Although women should submit to their husbands, the Bible also tells men several times how they are supposed to treat their wives. The husband is not to take on the role of the dictator, but should show respect for his wife and her opinions. In fact, Ephesians 5:28-29 exhorts men to love their wives in the same way that they love their own bodies, feeding and caring for them. A man’s love for his wife should be the same as Christ’s love for His body, the church.

“Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them” (Colossians 3:18-19). “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers” (1 Peter 3:7). From these verses we see that love and respect characterize the roles of both husbands and wives. If these are present, then authority, headship, love, and submission will be no problem for either partner."

So basically, it should be a two-way street for the whole submission thing to work.

Yes,At certain times,situation it not about submitting to your to your husband all the time,
If you know your husband well just like yourself,..It will happen naturally.
Communication plays a big role in being submissive you have to know the ros and cons
before submitting yourself.

And I believe that's it's a two way process..

dati talaga aminado akong bossy ako,na akala ko kase love ako nong guy eh dapat ako masusunod.pag di nasunod yung gusto ko pinagmumulan ng away or should i say nagtatantrums ako.but now i learned from it.i understand that it should be both,the wife and the husband should know the word compromise and because of your love,you should also respect opinions and decision so somehow the two of you will meet.but most of the time ako pa din nasusunod maybe kase ako magaling mag reason out.lol

I was from the day we got married. Awa ng Dios, semplang agad Day after our wedding. Gave him chances to lead but parang 70-80% of the time hindi maganda kinahihinatnan.

So I decided to take some of the responsilibility to keep the balance. At least ngayon medyo ok na strategies ng life / plans but I'm almost burned out din coz he doesn't take the effort to help strategize even if i ask for his help.

Oh well, we can't have it all. At least I am trying my best to help.

Now that I'm a SAHM, I'm trying to be 100% submissive unlike before, kaso di talaga pwede, hehe.

Ayaw din naman kasi ni hubby na siya lahat ang mag-decide, gamitin ko daw utak ko baka daw mabulok, lol. Pansin ko kapag decisions na maapektuhan ng malaki ang finances like increase ng payment sa binili na property, bibili ng bago kotse, extra activities ng anak namin siya na ang nagde-decide. Halos lahat ng decisions para sa anak namin, for example ano baon sa school, kailangan ba ng tutor or hindi, paano siya kakausapin para maintindihan ang explanation namin, sakin na niya binigay yung responsibility.

May times din naman na super sunod ako kay hubby lalo na kapag sinabi niya na "Bilhin mo na yang damit na yan, last week mo pa tinititigan eh." hehe! Syempre susunod agad ako diba?! hehe!

we both have strong personalities BUT because of my work I am expected to make decisions all the time. I find it mentally exhausting so when i'm at home i'm quite happy for the husband to take the lead.
