[Vision2020] submission

[keely emerinemix]

Other than my belief that marriage should be not a 50-50, but 100%-100%, 
proposition, I find myself agreeing with much of Roger's post.  
"Submission," properly understood, is what he's describing, his discomfort 
with the word notwithstanding.  Whip-cracking insistence on obedience isn't 
Biblical, and obedience that results from it isn't submission.

There has bee a lot of discussion on submission from a biblical prospective. 
I don't chose to discuss it in that context.
One should submit to a higher authority on the job or in the military, with 
in the bounds of what is ethical and moral. Marriage
should be a 50-50 deal. One partner should not be subservient to the other. 
Each one should support the others interests  be it horses, 4-H, politics, 
gardening, etc, whether they are particularly wild about it or not. Around 
the house I usually do thing my wife's way. If it pleases her that makes me 
happy. This is not being submissive. It is getting along and respecting your 
spouse. We both work. I usually do the day to day cooking, she does the big 
family dinners, she usually does the laundry, we both clean house and take 
care of the livestock. A marriage should be a give and take situation. No 
one should be dominant or submissive.
