With a fancy title and a big-time career, for the moment. And I cannot imagine - I mean, literally cannot imagine EVER not submitting to my husband. I submit to him in small things and big things and everything in between. Sure, we disagree at times. But in all the time we've been together (5 years) I have literally not once intentionally gone against his wishes. <br /><br />I guess my point, or my question, is - I know there ARE women out there who routinely dishonour their husbands and boyfriends. A colleague of mine is actually going through this right now - being belittled by his girlfriend (publicly, even!). So yes, these people exist. But how? And what are they thinking? <br /><br />I ask because as a liberal semi-feminist, it doesn't even ever OCCUR to me to NOT submit to my husband. It never has. I wouldn't want to. He is sitting here saying he agrees with that perception. He doesn't often go against my wishes either, but he is bar-none the leader in our marriage. It's hard to imagine being married and not having that. Neither of us, as we sit here together, can imagine that. I guess what I'm wondering is, this comes naturally to me, and when we see other couples that struggle with this issue, both of us wonder what is going on. What possess people not to want to submit? If you truly love your husband and your marriage, isn't in painful and awful not to treat it (the marriage) and him (your husband) with all the love and devotion you can muster? And what's more hurtful to a man than being dishonoured by his own wife?

I can set some atmosphere with my attitude, posture and even some game, but it is ultimately up to her.<br /><br />I wouldn't take as strong a stand against such myself, but I would certainly follow them in a different context than most.Brad Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449947300802682625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-19300073503646996112013-12-07T03:03:49.668-06:002013-12-07T03:03:49.668-06:00My pleasure.
Yeah, I'm the antithesis of wha...My pleasure. <br /><br />Yeah, I'm the antithesis of what Vox would call a good blogger (one who doesn't talk about their personal lives, posts often etc.) <br /><br />I'm sure you can imagine how much the game/sphere/auxiliary blogs helped me understand my own self. It was really overwhelming a few years ago. Once I decided to be honest with myself, I saw so many truths to AWALT. It helped me realize I'm not alone and that most of us (women) struggle with the very same things. Melding those understandings with biblical Truth has been a joy for me, especially since it has strengthened our marriage so much and provides endless conversations for us to have with our children. <br /><br />So, I can't talk you into FB, huh? It's funny, I'm "friends" with about three dozen people I've never met in real life. But like it is here in the blogosphere, you get to know them and can confidently call people around the country and world that you've never met in person, friends. If you ever change your mind, email us and we'll let you know how to connect with us.

I'm constantly asked to but I try to keep RL and blogging mostly separate. <br /><br />I don't care a whole lot about the game concept, other than as theory. I enjoy your site mostly because you try to live out your faith as it relates to your marriage relationship and that is different. Where I am in life is more focused on having my children succeed in faith and life. My days of picking up chicks in bars are long over so game blogs aren't much use to me.<br /><br />Thanks for your work, its interesting.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-67260407745318797962013-12-06T19:54:02.656-06:002013-12-06T19:54:02.656-06:00No worries, Res, the good stuff occurs in house. :...No worries, Res, the good stuff occurs in house. :) <br /><br />I link my posts to my FB page so sometimes the conversations occur over there, also it seems women are more comfortable emailing me, especially when it comes to real personal things. <br /><br />While I love and appreciate those of you who take time out of your day to come over and read my musings, my ultimate goal is one day for my Grandchildren/Great Grandchildren to say to their parents, "Grandma sure wrote a lot on submission, was that a problem for women back then?" <br /><br />There is a lot for us to talk about with our children in this post alone - just in choosing a church... my goodness. We had a fantastic conversation the other night that I've been meaning to write on but have been busy with this moving business. I've been too busy to read others' blogs, even SSM's and that rarely happens. Now tonight, it's poker night - I should just say "game night" but yes, we've taught our children to play some mean poker. I'm also being beckoned to teach my daughter the rules of hockey (she's watching the Blackhawks).

This list is a perfect example of Christo-feminism in action. As res ipsa pointed out, all but #10 are objectionable in some way. And mostly because they turn men into utilities or appliances for the sake of the wife.

It makes the wife's joy a barometer for how submitted to Christ the husband is. If she isn't feeling joyful in her submission to her husband, then it must be the husband's fault for not being properly submitted to Christ. Such nonsense. On the contrary, those of us who were Christians when our husbands were not realize the truth of 1 Peter 3:1-2.<br />sunshinemaryhttp://sunshinemaryandthedragon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-58274688646173731912013-12-05T00:20:32.667-06:002013-12-05T00:20:32.667-06:00I'm OK with #10.

For instance #8 sounds good BUT what if the wife is in the wrong? Same thing with #2, #4 and #5. It's easy to want to agree with the hart of the statement but when you look deeper it fails to hold up to the test of truth.<br /><br />God said it better in the bible, and no one has come up with a way to improve on his commands.
