Dear Gentlemen: Submission Before Married? Is it necessary or optional?

Dear Gentlemen,

Have you considered that a woman is not obligated to submit to you in a relationship?

However, if a woman truly loves and respects you, she may choose to show her support and recognize your leadership qualities. It’s essential to understand that until you formalize the relationship through marriage, this is not her duty.

Do not expect submission from a woman that isn’t warranted. It’s not appropriate to assume you’re entitled to her deference if you haven’t committed to her in marriage or demonstrated strong leadership. Keep in mind that her love and care for you do not automatically imply submission.

The concept of submission is traditionally linked to the sacred bond of marriage, where two individuals unite as one.

If a woman decides to submit to you before marriage, honor and appreciate her decision. Understand that she is willingly relinquishing some of her independence, fully aware that the future of your relationship may hold uncertainties.

Recognize her selflessness and the sacrifices she makes in pursuit of your happiness and the well-being of your relationship.

Submission is not easy; as adults, you know how challenging it can be to abide by rules and expectations. Now, picture someone willingly setting aside their own will for the sake of another.

Ultimately, a woman’s submission is reserved for the commitment of marriage. If she offers it to you beforehand, cherish that gift and show her your sincere gratitude.

Regards.
