A submissive wife should always remember that her submission is a choice—a sacred gift she offers from a place of strength, not weakness. It is not something to be demanded or abused. Her husband must cherish this gift, and honor it with faithfulness, gentleness, and integrity. Submission does not give a man the right to harm his wife physically or emotionally. True leadership is never cruel. A submissive wife is not a doormat. She is not a punching bag. She is a strong, godly woman who has chosen to follow and support a man she trusts. And he must prove himself worthy of that trust daily
