Submission sounded to me like a dirty word. I felt as if I was being controlled and I didn't like it. Because I didn't like it, I had a bucking type of spirit. I see that spirit in some women today. They buck against whatever the husbands have to say as if they have to be in control. They view submission as weakness rather than meekness, which is power under control.God gave me this analogy one day. I thought of a stallion, a big powerful creature with the ability to throw his rider at will. The rider may think he has to break the stallion in order to ride him but in reality he begins to build a relationship with him. But the truth of the matter is that when he mounts the horse and is not thrown, it isn't because the stallion no longer has the ability to throw the rider. He can throw the rider at any time but because he still has the power, and capacity to do so but because of the relationship, the stallion chooses to let the rider mount him and ride. Woman, you are not weak when you are submissive to your husband, you still have the power and the ability to wreak havoc if you so desire. But because you are wise and you want to keep the relationship intact, you choose to submit.
