It’s weird to think about, but when my husband and I first married we were egalitarian. I submitted to no one. My husband and I were equal in all decisions. I cleaned, but I didn’t do any cooking. I was immodest. I was obsessed with college and longed to go to grad school like I planned to before I met my husband.
Things have changed. The Holy Spirit brought me to headcovering, which brought me to verses on submission. It was through studying these verses that I came to realize I could be a better wife by being more supportive and obeying. Submission actually started as my idea. Sometimes people assume it is something my husband forced on me or brainwashed me into. But in actuality, he was totally egalitarian back then. I made decisions as much as he did. I brought the idea to him.
I couldn’t go to any of the fully funded grad programs I wanted to when I married him because I lost my geographic mobility, but he supported me at looking into online grad school. But I changed first. I saw the poison pouring out of our universities in America, and I didn’t want to spend my husband’s hard earned money financing paychecks for people who hate people like me. Why fund the lives of communist indoctrinators who want to destroy my way of life? I will never go to grad school now, and I’m happy with that decision. I have been for a long time. American universities are moral cesspools where free thought and civil liberties go to die.
I don’t make decisions without asking my husband now. I am calmer and more peaceful. I get more in touch with my femininity. I feel safer. It’s nice knowing that God and my husband are in control. My dreams now are all at home. I am at peace. I cook for my family. I am more modest. But this all came from the Holy Spirit and then I brought it to my husband. My husband has seen how well it has worked, and he likes it too.
