What does it mean to be submissive in a relationship?
This is a question that many people ask themselves when they are considering what type of dynamic would work best for them.
In this blog post, we will examine the meaning of submission and see how it can improve your relationships.
Submissive is a role in a relationship where the person takes on tasks and behaviors that are asked of them by their partner.
This might be different for every couple, but can often include things like household chores, sexual favors, or simply taking on a more passive role in the relationship.
If you’re interested in exploring this type of dynamic with your partner, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, it’s important to have an open and honest conversation about what each of you expect from the relationship.
This includes discussing your roles, but also your expectations for communication, honesty, and trust.
Submissive is defined as yielding to the authority of another.
In a relationship, this means that you are giving your partner control and following their lead. This can be a difficult thing to do if you are not used to it, but with time and practice, it can become second nature.
How do you become submissive in a relationship?
The first step is to understand your own needs and wants. Once you know what they are, you can communicate them to your partner.
Next, be willing to put your partner’s needs before your own. This doesn’t mean that you always have to agree with them, but it does mean that you should be respectful and considerate of their feelings.
Finally, be patient and let the relationship evolve at its own pace. Trying to force things will only lead to frustration on both sides.
If you can approach being submissive with an open mind and a willingness to learn, you will find that it can add a whole new dimension to your relationship. And who knows, you may even find that you enjoy it!
1.Be Patient: One of the most important aspects of being submissive is to be patient. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your partner isn’t going to become a dominant overnight. If you can exhibit patience and understanding, it will go a long way in helping your relationship flourish.
2. Follow Instructions: Obeying instructions is one of the best ways to show that you are submissive.
3. Be Careful Not To Take It Too Far: While it’s important to follow instructions, your partner should not be too controlling or manipulative with their orders. If they take things too far, there needs to be some give and take in order for the relationship to be healthy.
4. Be Open Minded: One of the benefits of a submissive partner is that they are often more open minded and willing to try new things in the bedroom. If you’re looking to spice up your sex life, this can be a great attribute to have.
In conclusion, Being submissive can be a difficult role to fill in a relationship, but it can also be very rewarding.
If you are interested in becoming submissive, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
First, always remember that your submission should never come at the expense of your own safety or well-being.
Second, make sure that you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to your roles.
Lastly, always be willing to communicate with your partner about any concerns or questions you may have.
By following these tips, you can create a healthy and fulfilling submissive relationship. Thanks for reading!

A submissive wife. Are you kidding me? You want me to be my husband’s slave? You want me to do everything he tells me to do and bow to him? I hear it all the time from women in online groups and forums. Whether it is assumed that the wife is to be a passive participant while her husband bosses her around or that she is to wait on him hand and foot while he does nothing and barks orders at her; it’s a common misconception. Being a submissive wife does NOT mean that you are your husband’s slave.
Have you ever wondered what the submissive woman meaning?
To better understand what it means to be a submissive wife, let’s take a closer look at the submissive meaning.
The word submissive is defined as: inclined or ready to submit or to put oneself under authority of another.
Now, let’s take a look at what a submissive wife biblically means.
Bible.org says The Greek word Paul uses here in relation to submission is a military term meaning to put oneself in rank under another. God has ordained the principle of authority and submission in a number of different spheres: Citizens are to be subject to civil authorities (Rom. 13:1; Titus 3:1); slaves to their masters (Col. 3:22; Titus 2:9); church members to their leaders (1 Cor. 16:16; Titus 2:15; Heb. 13:17); children to their parents (Col. 3:20); and wives to their husbands (Eph. 5:22, 24; Col. 3:18; Titus 2:5; 1 Pet. 3:1). Every time the New Testament speaks to the role of wives, the command is the same: “Be subject to your husband.”
Notice that describes submit as to be subject to. It does not say to be a slave to. Biblically, the submissive meaning is to put yourself under the authority of your husband. In Ephesians 5:25, husbands are instructed to, “love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,” and in Ephesians 5:22, wife are told to, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord”
When a husband loves his wife as he loves the church and when women focus on their role to love and be subject to their husbands, according to scripture, marriage is loving, kind and harmonious, not abusive or a slave to master relationship.
Submission is a voluntary action by the wife. It is a God-driven desire to please your husband and act under his authority just as Christians are to act under the authority of the church.
While the husbands are to be the head of the household, the wife is not commanded to keep her mouth shut and never give her opinion on matters. “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue . (Proverbs 31:26 ESV) The wife can and should share her thoughts on important family and household topics with her husband but she should do so in a way that is pleasing to God. How? Choose your words carefully. Don’t argue or try to prove your point just to be right.
In a biblical marriage , the wife is the helpmeet of her husband. She should support him and give counsel. Ultimately, he is to make decisions based on sound biblical knowledge AND his wife’s wisdom and faithful instruction. The wife is to support her husband and back his decisions even when she doesn’t agree.
While the Bible instructs women to confront their husbands regarding their sin:
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,
It does not say that women should be quiet and use only their actions. The key is HOW women use their words. True submission is demonstrated in both words and actions. Wives are to submit to their husbands as husbands are to submit to God. Submissive wives are not doormats!
Often, I hear women lamenting that being submissive doesn’t work in today’s world or that the Bible was written thousands of years ago and that those same principles don’t make sense today. I say “nonsense”! While division of labor in the home has changed drastically throughout history and varies from home to home and marriage to marriage, the Bible, and God, are unchanging. Husbands are still to be the authority in the home and act as the spiritual leader .
Submissiveness is not timidity, it is not servility, it is not subservience, it is not docility, it is not degrading, it is not a sign of weakness.
Submission is a sign of strength , not of weakness and a greater degree of submission requires a greater degree of strength of personal character.
Whether putting dinner on the table or putting his needs above the others in your family, serving him first, demonstrates to him and your children that your husband is the head of the household. It is showing your husband the respect that he deserves .
2. Make an Effort to Take Care of Yourself, Physically, Spiritually and Emotionally
Hey, I know that life is busy, but I also know that when you are not looking or feeling your best, you can’t give your best to your husband.
Get plenty of rest, spend time in God’s Word and make an effort to look your best. I’m not saying that you need to be in makeup, a dress and heels, everyday. I’m just saying that when you make an effort to look and feel good for your husband, he will notice and that your marriage will reap the rewards. (See this post on Beauty is Fleeting ).
What can you do to ensure that you are taking good care of yourself and making an effort for your husband?
When you husband comes home after work, does he come home to you and kids clamoring for his attention? Toys strewn about the living room? Noise and chaos? Or does he come home to a smiling, welcoming family that is relatively neat?
Yes, your day may have been stressful, too, but I promise you that if you make an effort for your husband to come home to a calm home, it will give him time to “decompress” and he will be react accordingly.
Your husband has been pulled in all directions at work, when he comes home, his home should be a place of refuge and refreshment, not more stress.
Studies have shown, too, that a disorganized home can foster stress.
What does your husband come home to?
4. Listen, Pray, THEN Respond Lovingly
Many men find communication to be difficult. When your husband does talk to you (be it about the weather, his favorite sports team or an issue at work), listen to him. Don’t interrupt. Don’t give your advice. Just listen. Then ask God how you should reply.
Just having a sympathetic ear will foster comfort in your husband to communicate more often.
He may want your opinion or he may just want to vent. Allow him to do that, safely. Then lovingly respond.
5 . Give Your Opinion, but Accept His Decision
All marriages face decisions from which restaurant to dine at or major decisions like whether or not relocate.
Calmly share your opinion on the matter, including your rationale for it, but ultimately, these decisions are your husband’s responsibility.
Allow him to understand your feelings, but when he makes a decision respect his decision– even if, especially if, you don’t agree.
God has given him authority over your home and marriage for a reason. Respect him and respect God.
He may fail, but don’t use the old “I told you so”. Instead, support him and repeat the process (listen, share, pray and accept).
Men are natural warriors and protectors. Your husband wants to do that for you, too. Are you allowing him to?
God created men to be hunters, providers, generators/producers, fighters/warriors and to achieve, succeed and win.
Are you letting him fight for you? Provide for you? Or are you, like me, a naturally strong woman, and struggle with this?
I’m a get-it-done kinda woman. I see a need, I want to fill it. I see a wrong, I want to right it.
My husband, on the other hand, avoids conflict and is much more laid back than me.
When someone hurts us, I have to pray and ask God to help me let my husband lead and protect us and NOT take action, myself.
7. Put Him Above Your Children in the Family Chain of Command (and Importance!)
There is no love like that of a mother for her child. I adore my children as I’m sure you adore yours. That is a beautiful thing. Until that love becomes an idol or displaces the role of a husband to a wife.
I know. I know. This may seem harsh, but bear with me for a moment.
We are going to address two biblical realties here. First, God designed marriage to be a three cord strand, not a four, five or six or more cord strand. In biblical marriage, God comes first then our husbands and ourselves.
While we are to love and care for and nurture our children, we are not to place them before our husbands.
For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,
This means serving your husband his dinner first. It means buying his favorite snacks at the grocery store. It means respecting his needs and his wishes. It means choosing his wants over your children’s wants.
This practice not only pleases God as it is how He designed marriage , but it is modeling a good, God-honoring marriage for your children to see.
When we put our children first, they learn to be self-centered. The learn that, even though the Bible says that the husband should be the wife’s first priority, mom doesn’t put much stock in that.
I encourage you to pray and ask God to shine a light on any area of your marriage and motherhood that is not pleasing to Him. It may be uncomfortable but it is only through discomfort that we can grow and live a life that honors God.
8. Let Him Be Your Champion and Warrior
This is related to allowing him to protect you, but it goes much further. I look to my husband as my warrior, my hero. He comes right after God on my list of priorities.
In movies, the champion is adored. People seek him out for advice, action and protection. I seek my husband out the same way. He is my champion and my best friend.
Is your husband your champion and warrior? Do you put him first? Or is he just another mouth to feed and pile of laundry to wash?
Respect him in his role of champion and warrior. Your marriage will be blessed for it.

Dear Lord, please help me to understand what it means to submit, to You, Lord, and to my husband. The world tells us that submission is a bad thing. In a day where Your ways are not accepted, please help me to remain strong and live as the wife You created me to be. Show me what it means to submit to my husband in marriage.
Help me to remain humble and gentle. Please help us to submit our hearts to you, Lord. Thank you for the gift of your grace that lives in me so I can live as You’ve called me to live. Your Word says that I’m to submit to my husband as to You (Ephesians 5:22). I need your help with that, Father.
Shield me from others who say that it is weak to submit. Remind me that submission is strength and that I need Your help to live that way. Please give me grace to face adversity and help me to look to You when I am faced with the opinions of others in this matter.
Father God, help me to use words that build up and not tear down and to be a positive, godly influence in my husband’s life. Remind me, though, that I am to submit and not battle him. Allow me to see the beauty in submission and following what You say about marriage.
Heavenly Father , help us to keep our eyes fixed on you and to always place You at the center of our marriage.
