You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.

Submission and Surrender
As a Christian wife, I have come to realize that the concept of submission in marriage is often misunderstood and misrepresented. Many view submission as a form of oppression or inequality, where the wife is relegated to a subordinate role and forced to acquiesce to her husband's every whim. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, biblical submission is a beautiful and empowering concept that allows wives to flourish in their roles and experience a deeper level of intimacy and connection with their husbands.
To understand the biblical concept of submission, we must first examine the scriptural context. In Ephesians 5:22-24, Paul writes, "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands." This passage is often misinterpreted as a call to blind obedience, but in reality, it's an invitation to surrender to a higher authority and to trust in the Lord's sovereignty.
So, what does it mean to surrender to a husband's desires and needs? It means trusting that he has your best interests at heart and that he is seeking to lead and guide you in a way that honors God. It means being willing to lay down your own desires and preferences in order to prioritize his needs and desires. And it means communicating openly and honestly with him about your own needs and desires, so that you can work together to build a strong and healthy marriage. This is why you marry a man who has earned and deserves this kind of respect. Not every man is worthy.
Communication and mutual respect are essential components of a submissive relationship. When both partners feel heard and understood, they are more likely to trust and surrender to each other. This doesn't mean that the wife becomes a doormat or loses her own identity, but rather that she is able to find her true identity and purpose in her role as a submissive wife. By communicating effectively and showing mutual respect, couples can build a strong foundation of trust and intimacy, which is essential for a healthy and thriving marriage.
In my own marriage, I have experienced the beauty of submission and surrender. By trusting my husband and surrendering to his leadership, I have found a deeper level of freedom and joy. I am able to focus on my own strengths and gifts, while also supporting and encouraging my husband in his role as leader. And as we communicate openly and honestly with each other, we are able to navigate the ups and downs of life together, as a team.
Of course, submission and surrender are not always easy. There will be times when we feel resistant or hesitant to surrender to our husband's desires. But it's in these moments that we must remind ourselves of the biblical mandate to submit, and trust that God is working all things together for our good. By surrendering to our husband's leadership and trusting in God's sovereignty, we can experience a deeper level of intimacy and connection in our marriages, and find true fulfillment in our roles as wives.Ultimately, submission and surrender are not about oppression or inequality, but about trust, respect, and mutual submission. As Paul writes in Ephesians 5:21, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." This means that both husbands and wives are called to submit to each other, each in their own unique way. By embracing this concept of mutual submission, we can build strong and healthy marriages that honor God and bring joy and fulfillment to both partners.
