Women are given a specific role which men cannot fulfill and vice-versa. My wife, when in submission to me, is in a very high place of honor, which gives her great influence and authority. Don't ask me how it works - it just does
Lol too bad it's all fantasy and the real reason she's in a place of honor is because she has a husband who loves and respects her. Your lack of desire to dishonor, disrespect, or abuse your wife is because you're a good guy. It's not because god and it's not even because she's submissive to you.
As I've said, I think submission can be beautiful and wonderful, but it's a choice. No matter how great you are to her, it wouldn't be right if she felt like she was obligated by god to submit to you even though she didn't want to. It wouldn't be beautiful and she wouldn't be happy. She can say she does it because of her faith, but whatever her reasoning is she does it because she wants to.
Go ahead tell her to do something that crosses her boundaries (without violating her faith) and see how she reacts.
