![]() Let us break free from the old-fashioned notion that women are the only individuals required to be submissive in relationships. Submission is without a doubt, a non-negotiable standard in the relationship equation, because vulnerability, trust, and our coupled expectations entail some level of it (besides, both men and women interact with all three). Submission is not something that women do; it's something that people do—grown ups, who respect their situation and find the work involved worthwhile, to keep that situation. The truth of the matter is that each of us submits to something or someone at some point, so don't fight it. Submission is not surrender, withdrawal, or apathy. It doesn’t mean inferiority. It's more so a mixture of mutual commitment and cooperation between the parties in the relationship. So take note ladies: give ALL that you are to the man who deserves it, and realize that you deserve the same. Hear him when he has your best interest at heart, but know that you'll be called upon to do the same. Follow when necessary, but be ready to lead when it's time. Submission shows maturity. Submission shows strength. Submission shows trust. Submission shows devotion. #BelieveIt -Kanika A. Vann
