Submission

I visited a very close friend in her office 2 days ago. We talked about our life, a usual way of a friends who seldom see each other because of busyness in work, business and in family. She is a successful business woman and a happily married woman and a caring mother as well. She’s one of my close friends. We knew each others personal life but I never knew that she is so submissive to her husband. I was surprised because having a strong personality I can’t believe she was. I asked her, “since you got married are you submissive to your husband?” She said no! not at all! living with my husband for 15 years I learned how to be submissive but there is an exception, if he have a point when it comes to our relationship and even in our business, its just a matter of respecting each others personal views, opinions and authority.” She added, sometimes we had a fight because he felt I’m stepping and hurting his ego as a man and being the president and the chairman of our company. I have to consult him first before I decide in everything, as a respect to him as my husband.” She had a point if I have a chance to get married again I will do the same thing. If all the time spent in a relationship is focused on competition, how will you move forward as a couple? God designed marriage to be living, breathing example of the hierarchy of heaven. In heaven,there are levels of authority. God is at the head and everything works outward from Him. I don’t have someone in my life but I can feel about submission in my everything living with God, who is presently filling the mate slot in my life. I learn to recognized and admit I need a help, and realizing my help lies in submission: submission to God, submission to others, submission to the mate that God provides.
