The Bible says plenty about husbands and wives, but should single women interact the same way with their boyfriends?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around the role of men and women in a romantic relationship that hasn't been brought together in matrimony. Should men expect submission from a woman they are dating? Should women be expected to submit to a man who hasn't made a covenant commitment to them? What's the line between serving and submission?
