Being a Submissive Wife is not about being powerless and doing as your husband wishes because you do not have the strength to stand up for your self.

Submission is making a conscious decision to submit to your husbands will because you know he loves you and you trust him to be a man worthy of your gift of submission, a man who will always have your best interests at heart and put your needs before his own.

A man who will provide for you, protect you, correct you when necessary and a man who will guide you spiritually.

Remember that going to bed together is one of the most important parts of the day.

Many couples do not go to bed together often one will stay up to watch TV or catch up on work.

Often you find if couples don't go to bed together they tend not to spend lots of time together, they start losing connection, and this can lead to unhappiness, loneliness and divorce.

Make an effort to go to bed together, discuss your day have a cuddle spend the last moments of the day together

Financial pressures of modern life now mean that many wives have to work and it means that many husbands and wives have to share the household duties between them.

In some cases, it is the wife who is the primary income earner while the husband stays at home to tend to the house and children.

What should not alter is your husband's position of authority and spiritual leader in the home.

A Submissive wife knows that having a bad attitude when trying to get her point of view across during a disagreement will not help and will only make the situation worse. It is better to talk to him calmly and with respect your husband deserves.

A Submissive Wife knows if she has to sneak about or hide something from her Husband then she has no right to be doing what she is doing.

Always be open and truthful to your husband.

There is nothing that husband and wife should not be able to tell each other.

A Submissive Wife should remember that marriage is a union of two people Husband & wife.

Do not share your intimate secrets with friends your marriage is not a community project that gets discussed and commented on by your friends.

Your friends do not need to know when and how you made love or why you and your husband disagree.

Show your husband the respect and privacy he deserves.

The only person you should discuss your intimate details with is your husband; he is the only one whose opinion that matters.

A Submissive wife should remember if you are feeling tired and you reject your husband's romantic advances his brain is wired differently to yours where sex is concerned, and he will see your rejection differently than you just being tired, he will see it as rejecting him.

You might not feel in the mood at first but if you allow your mind to unwind from the day while taking things slowly and think romantic thoughts your body will soon catch up.

So instead of instant rejection start slowly and let nature take its course.

A Submissive Wife should remember to dress modestly when out of the house without her husband; you do not want to send out the wrong signals and attract attention from other men.

You can look classy and stylish in modest clothing you do not have to look frumpy,  Dress with class, your smile is what people notice and remember not your chest.

If your marriage is not what it used to be and the flame is dying.

Ask yourself does this verse apply to you and your marriage

"If you are too lazy to plough then don't expect a harvest."

If you don't put effort into your marriage how can you expect it to grow and thrive?

Marriage is a life long commitment that needs attention and effort if you don't give it love and care your relationship will wither and die.

As a Submissive Wife, you should always be striving to be the best wife you can be.

Help and support him every day and always be the one he knows he can rely on to be in his corner.

If you want the husband of your dreams, you have to be the Wife he always prayed he would marry.
