"Being Submissive Doesn't Mean I Have to Give Up the Things I Love"

Kimberly Ware
I believe that being a submissive wife does not mean giving up on who you are as an individual. Often time's people get the idea of being a submissive wife means giving up your passion and soul purpose in life. If you are with the right man he would be understanding and support you also with your dreams and ambitions.

I believe that in order for a wife to submit to her husband she must be with the right man who is truly following in the light of God. If you are following in God's light and your spouse is following the path of darkness, then this would indeed cause a problem. He may be threatened by your passion and want you to give it up or he may want you to change who you are as person in order to follow his dreams. And if you do give up your dreams for his then you begin to feel incomplete or unhappy because you have given up on a piece of yourself. Following in the shadows of your spouse and never pursuing and utilizing your divine gifts will keep you from ever reaching your fullest potential. .. It is imperative for women to be with the right man that God's sends their way.

Yes it is possible for a woman to submit to her husband and follow her passion. I am an example of both scenarios. When I married my first husband I was young, naive and incomplete. .My ex did not want me to pursue my dreams of writing and plus he was following a path of darkness. I left him. I was a single parent for years and I had a chance to learn and grow. I finally became whole. When I became complete and pursued my passion of writing God sent me my husband, a man who is following in God's light. My husband supports me in my dreams as I do with his dreams and ambitions.

You don't have to give up your passion to submit to your man. You just have to make sure the man you marry is the right one sent by God.
