I Towards Becoming A Surrendered Wife

To be a good surrendered wife and make this way of life turn out beautifully, you have to work on it everyday! Praise your husband for what he does, his male qualities and show appreciation for his efforts, even if the outcome is not what you expected! This will lead to him opening up and provides wonderful intimacy! I so enjoy this reward of my daily work towards being a better wife day after day!

When did you make the decision to surrender yourself to your husband? Has this been something that you have always felt or only happened when you met your husband? I am sorry to ask these questions but this concept is quiet alien to me and I am curious to what made you think this way.
Please do not answer If I have offended you in anyway.

I had started this lifestyle years ago, after finding the book Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle, and it worked magically to improve my marriage. Lost the game in between, when I was seriously sick. It's hard to be your best self, when you don't feel well. I nagged and complained and critisized constantly, which is a killer to any marriage. Our marriage had deteriated to rock bottom and I was extremely depressed. Then a friend talked me into walking with her and our dogs every morning, which got me over the depression and I realised my mistakes and I started all over again! Reading Fascinating Womanhood, The proper care and feeding of Husbands, etc. and learning once more how to treat a husband with respect and give him space to be himself. Within weeks our relationship blossomed again, he started to trust me again, dropped his wall of reserve and came out of his shell! It's the most amazing feeling to know, that by supporting him and treating him well, you get everything in return what you dreamt of: love, help with whatever you need and ultimate intimacy!@Hanging2

@franziska Thank you for explaining your journey to me. I get what your saying but don't fully understand it. I guess the women throughout my life have been independent and career focused. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a surrendered partner/wife and how different my wife would be. I hope he reciprocates evenly the love and respect you show.

Thankyou for being so honest with me.

He certainly does. And may I suggest you gift one of the books I mentioned in my post to your wife to maybe startle her and instigate a discussion? Or are you perfectly happy in your relationship already? Please do not answer if you don't want to. One of the biggest problems in our marriage was, that my husband was suffering from the fact that I made more money than he did until recently. It really bothered him, although I never even thought about it. Hearing that your wife is career orientated, doesn't mean she shouldn't respect, praise and serve you any way possible...@Hanging2

@franziska I have met a very beautiful woman and can't imaging being with anyone else. She has a very warm heart and keeps me grounded. I can fly away with the pixies every now and then. We are best friends as well and that is the icing on the cake for me. Thankyou for being so honest and I hope and wish you all the happiness possible.
