Submission: Stepping out of the way and not undercutting your husband's leadership; waiting and letting him take charge.

Disclaimers on submission:

1. Submission does not mean a "yes" person.

2. Submission is not a man's to demand from his wife. It is only for a wife to give to her husband.

3. Submission does not mean enabler of wrongdoing. It only means empowering right doing.
