Just A Thought (TBT; 2013):

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. 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. ‪#‎CompromiseIsSubmission‬. Hear him when he has your best interest at heart, but know that you'll be called upon to do the same. ‪#‎ExpectationIsSubmission‬. Follow when necessary, but lead when you're the stronger, more informed party. When I trust you, I can ‪#‎follow‬you, and allow you to ‪#‎lead‬ me. ‪#‎TrustIsSubmission‬. Men don't know everything. In fact; when people enter relationships, they often seek out people that are strong in areas where they are weak. [Men, and women alike, are weak in many ways.] If she knows more in an area, she leads; he follows. ‪#‎MakesSense‬. If he knows more in an area, he leads; she follows. Remember relationship equals partnership. Besides, ‪#‎Submission‬shows ‪#‎maturity‬. Submission shows ‪#‎strength‬. Submission shows ‪#‎trust‬. Submission shows ‪#‎devotion‬. ‪#‎BelieveIt‬ ‪#‎TBT‬ #2013
