Ephesians 5:22-33
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Which I truly believe in and have no trouble doing. I believe that Rick is the head of our household and is the leader of our family. I believe his role in our marriage is to protect me and provide for me and I need to allow him to fulfill those roles. I do not believe that by submitting to him as the one in charge that I am giving up my rights as a woman or diminishing my role in this family. I also know that if something were to happen to Rick, I would still be able to take care of myself and my kids.
BUT.
I have never been more happy to submit to my husband as LEADER OF THE FAMILY and in CHARGE OF A TASK as I am with the trip we are about to leave on....
I love camping....I love roughing it outdoors...I love eating grill-cooked food and enjoying nature and spending time with my family outside. But I do NOT like being in charge of any of it...packing, organizing, prepping, setting up, etc.
I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO HAVE RICK DO IT ALL!
Lucky for me, he loves it. So, we make a perfect team.
Have a nice week everyone, we'll be roughing it on a beach, in a tent, toasting s'mores.
