Love

I have heard that saying about relationships, but I think it's a load of bull. Marriage is about partnership, equality, working together - not one being in charge of the other. If my husband expected me to be submissive, boy, was he in for a big surprise! Sometimes it is necessary for one partner to submit to the other - but it's not always the same person submitting! Marriage is a 50/50 proposition, but sometimes it's 60/40 or 80/20 - and it goes both ways. Sometimes the wife needs to take on more because of something the husband is going through, and vice versa. For a marriage to be happy, both partners need to understand and accept this. If the husband OR the wife expects everything to go their way all the time and expects the other partner to do everything, that marriage will most likely fail - there's no romance in constantly being subservient! Sometimes, for the sake of happiness and fairness, I give in to my husband. Other times, he does the same for me. We submit to each other - it's not one-sided! I think that's the key.
