A lot of the time, a man just isn’t going to respond well to a woman who is strong and independent. This is where you have to insert yourself as a more submissive person than a dominant one.

Of course, as they say, opposites attract. This is why a lot of strong-willed and dominant men are attracted to submissive. So, if you happen to be attracted to such a guy, you must do whatever it takes to make that relationship work.

There are certain rules that you need to abide by to ensure the success of a relationship.

Following are five meaningful and romantic submissive wife rules:

Here are a few rules you need to follow to make sure your husband is happy:

1. Let Your Man Be Your Hero

You’re a team, hiding from your team-mate isn’t going to do any good for neither you nor your partner. Lies and deception are the pillars of bad relationships.

      well what if he starts out hiding things from you and thinks it’s ok. but you support encourage and don’t lie and don’t cheat but he is very jealous and won’t talk to you about things and this role is reversed. but yet still wants me to be the submissive one most of the time.

Two people need to be evenly yoked for marriage in God’s eyes. A good marriage needs to consist of three people to be successful. The husband, the wife, and God.

    Absolutely! A three fold cord is not easily broken! Proverbs 31;10-31 and “What God has joined together let no man put asunder.

    Women should not need to be submissive and always put his needs first. Marriage should be an EQUAL partnership for both partners to be fulfilled in the relationship.

      J
      Jennifer B · June 20, 2024

      Yes, it’s supposed to be an equal partnership, however, both can’t lead at the same time. Partners take turns on leading and nurturing the relationship. Typically, the men lead on providing for the family unit, and the women lead the household care. Neither role is set in stone, and can be altered to fit the partnership.

    Seems like we submit and they feel the right to walk over you and treat you like dirt in front of his friend that adores his wife who runs the house hold so I just give up

Barb · January 25, 2024

While in theory this is representive of mutual love and respect, but these rules do not apply when married to a narcissist. They make everything about them in a controlling way to which their partner (supply) is robbed of genuine affection, and support. Run!

    Thank You for that! I feel like we are moving backwards & the Hand Maiden’s Tale we are getting closer & closer to! I am still trying to recover from a Narcissistic Toxic Relationship…it was always about him and then being left 4 days post op of a second I was Cancer surgery, the Gaslighting the way the Narcissist makes you question your sanity. Whatever happen to the husband Honoring or people Honoring one another period.

This is so true, plus I could add a few. Being in a relationship, you and your partner have to be number one to each other! No lies, no secrets, only honesty and great communication. You give and take, you also pick your battles! You are Not always right. Remember that!! Also, they have feelings in beliefs as well, sometimes yours can be put to the side. When in a relationship, it’s not just you or I, it becomes an US!! You have to work as a team. If you truly love someone and you are truly meant to be together. All of this will be a breeze. I have been faithful married going on 14 years, we have been together for 16 years and we have known each other for 25 years. He is my everything!!🥰

Been married 20 yrs on 2nd marriage. I have done the 5 + more for years ever since we got back together in ’04 after a 21 yr split in ’86. I was supposed to be all he wanted. So why am I finding him on social medias talking up singles? When confronted he’s not.! Men now a days aren’t like the men in my mom’s day who stayed and didn’t stray. I’m still here but I’m not giving the king treatment until I get the queen treatment back

Being submissive is not the answer, cause yes u make urself a doormat. Men now days just don’t know what they have. Loyalty, honesty, love, it don’t mean to them what it used to mean to men. Men now days are always looking for the better deal, and it’s not going to change.

I always but instead of loving me back he find a mistress 🥺

Deanne Lindsay · August 9, 2024

I am all 5 plus more. I try to be everything he needs and extra, but I let him know I will never be told by any man who I can see or not see, told what to do and have no say anymore. I did for 38 years, too afraid to stand up for myself. Now, I let my new love I will always have his back, I will stand beside him in everything. I am always there for him, I love, adore and cherish him and I have told him he is my new hero. I have never felt so loved before or loved someone so much before. he is my better half and together we are one ❤️
