The Benefits of Being a Submissive Woman

Now, before you go getting mad and wondering when women gave up their rights to be independent, let’s talk about what it means to be a submissive woman in a healthy relationship.

Being submissive is a much misunderstood concept. To make it simple, it means that you’ll happily do what your partner wants as long as you are not coerced or forced into doing something. Healthy relationships involve both partners being happy, so why should that change?

One of the reasons women get angry at the word “submissive” is because it implies being under someone’s thumb. A healthy relationship is based on mutual love and  respect, not where one partyrules over the other.

So, why should women be submissive?

Being submissive in a relationship ,means that you trust your partner with everything in your life.  When you trust someone enough to let them take control, you are capable of putting that part of your life on autopilot. Yes, there will be things which pop up unexpectedly and you might need some guidance, or want it to be enforced—but in the day-to-day interactions, when you are with someone you love and trust completely—submission is the freedom from having to be the one making all the decisions.

The typical alpha male is a good leader, takes everyone’s needs into consideration, and has no problem taking on difficult tasks. Throughout history, men have been the hunters, the decision makers, the providers, and the protectors. And they are good at it.

There are benefits to being a submissive woman that you may not have every thought about. This is because you were looking at it from the wrong viewpoint. In a healthy relationship, there is no abuse of power. Just two people who give of themselves based on a deep connection and feelings of love. It was never meant to be a one-sided thing, it takes two people working together to make it successful.

The Benefits of Being a Submissive Woman

1. Feeling loved and respected
2. Having a peaceful home
3. Being free from having to make all the decisions
4. Having someone who takes care of you (takes care of the things that concern you)
5. Having someone that puts you first in his life. Someone who truly loves you will always put your needs before his own.

Some people say it’s a sign of weakness to be submissive, but if you think about it, we all are to some extent. We are submissive to our employer, the doctor, the government,  and etc. In this situation, we trust that these individuals have our best interests at heart and will do things to keep us safe, healthy, and free of oppression.

Tantra teaches that a woman’s strength lies in her capacity to accept and receive pleasure. If you are in touch with your sensual nature, you will be more fulfilled and content with life as a whole. You will develop a sense of trust in yourself, in your partner and in the universe as a whole. You will learn to love yourself, which then allows you to love others in a more profound way

Reviving an Old Tradition

For the last 70 years or so, the Western world has been dominated by the idea that men and women should be treated equally, a belief that has been institutionalized in many ways.

Treating women as equals to men is a good thing most of the time but you can’t argue against the fact that some men are stronger, faster and more muscular than many women.

The Bible says that male leadership is a symbol of God’s authority and it is also a sign of His divine nature. Women were designed to be a partner for man and submit to him as man submits to God.  This was how it was meant to be and was for many, many years.

Feminism changed much of this and made women more independent. Women held jobs, took care of the household, and raised the kids as a single-parent in many cases. In the last few years, there has been a return to the old ways with many traditions being revisited.

Marriage is a stage in which the husband and wife are like two bodies with one soul, and when they are united in this way, they are called husband and wife. When Eve was taken from Adam’s rib, she became his companion. Therefore, a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife and they become one body.

When the wife submits to her husband, the will of both becomes one, just as when the Lord submits to the Father. A woman is not independent of a man nor is a man independent of a woman. The head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Man was not created for woman but woman for man.

This was meant to be a symbol of the relationship between man and God. According to God’s design, man had several responsibilities which enabled him to be the leader of the home. He earned this designation by being the provider, the protector, and the decision-maker.

Does That Mean Submitting At All Costs?

Many people get this part wrong. The idea that women should be submissive allows both parties to have a peaceful home with no fighting or arguing over who should do what. This does not apply in relationships where the woman is being abused. This does not mean submitting to an abuser. If someone is in an abusive relationship, the man is not following God and has not earned the position of being a leader.

Relationships and Marriage

Men have to build an honest and decent relationship with the women they intend to marry. This means that they need to be respectful in all their actions and words towards them, and above all, they must be able to support her, protect her and provide for her. If a man is not able to do this, she will not want him as a husband.

If a man shows his woman that he can be trusted, she will respect him. All women like men who are kind and patient, but they also love men who are brave and courageous. Real men must always be able to protect their families.

The relationship of authority between husband and wife is set by God so the husband should always lead his home. It is God’s plan for the husband to lay down his life for his wife (Ephesians 5:25). The wife should respect her husband and show him honor as her head just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25).

Submissive women are not weak or inferior to men. However, if you find that submissiveness fits your personality and/or your relationship, there is no reason why you should change who you are just because society says it is wrong. It is a matter of preference and should be decided between you and your significant other. But make no mistake, even the strongest person has a submissive side to them. We just have to learn to work with those aspects of ourselves rather than against them.
