Submission is a word thrown around a lot when it comes to conduct of a spouse (especially of wives).
Sometimes it almost feels like one is seeking the right to maltreat spouse without them being able to talk.
Indeed, the word submission has become so misused in the marital context that it has become an oppression tool.
Submission can be healthy in marriage when it is mutual, when it is positive and when it is in the form related to loyalty.
But deep down, that’s not what we want.
In the end, we should remember that there’s a human side to marriage which should make us treat our spouses right. If that doesn’t get us, we should at least remember the spiritual side which means we are accountable for our actions and how we treat our spouses.
Treat your spouse right and be that which you are supposed to be, you won’t have to demand submission by force and it wouldn’t become an anthem.
