Discover the beauty of mutual submission in love from "summary" of Love and War by John Eldredge,Stasi Eldredge
In marriage, there is a dance that takes place between two people. It is a dance of love, of intimacy, of vulnerability. It is a dance that requires each partner to give themselves fully to the other, to take the hand of their spouse and step into the unknown together. This dance is not one of dominance or control, but of mutual submission. Mutual submission is a beautiful concept that is often misunderstood in our culture. It is not about one person giving in to the other, or about one person always having their way. It is about both partners willingly laying down their own desires and preferences for the good of the other. It is about each person putting the needs of their spouse above their own, and trusting that their spouse will do the same for them. In a marriage where mutual submission is practiced, there is a deep sense of trust and intimacy. Each partner knows that they are loved and cherished, and that their needs will be met. There is no fear of being taken advantage of or being left behind, because both partners are committed to serving and honoring each other. Mutual submission is not always easy. It requires humility, selflessness, and a willingness to let go of our own desires. But the beauty that comes from it is worth the sacrifice. It creates a bond between two people that is unbreakable, a love that is strong and enduring. When both partners are willing to submit to each other out of love, the result is a marriage that is filled with joy, peace, and fulfillment. It is a marriage where both partners feel valued and respected, where their needs are met and their hearts are full. It is a marriage where love reigns supreme, where each partner is willing to do whatever it takes to make the other happy. Mutual submission in love is a concept that has the power to transform marriages and bring couples closer together. It is a concept that is rooted in selflessness and sacrifice, in putting the needs of your spouse above your own. It is a concept that, when embraced fully, can lead to a marriage that is truly beautiful and fulfilling.
