Submission in marriage goes in both directions, but I wanted to write about the submission of wives because I see women have more doubts regarding this matter. Husbands are supposed to love their wives and sacrifice even their own lives for them if necessary. I am sure there are cowards and others who would say that under no circumstances they would give their lives for their wives, but I think that when the time comes, most men do what they must do. Men are told to love their wives, while wives are told to respect their husbands.

# About the Submission of Wives to Their Husbands

We are all, in some way or another, in rebellion against God, and then it is not about judging women for their own rebellion but about trying to understand why and how they can change if they want to.

Let us start by saying that submission is something that one does voluntarily and that it couldn't be in any other way because men and women were created equally and our Father has no preference for men over women nor women over men, and since we all have free will, it is up to us whether we submit to someone or not.

Jesus Christ gave us the most astonishing example. When Jesus was twelve, his parents took him to Jerusalem for a holiday. On the way home, they realized he was missing and went back to look for him. After three days of searching, they found Jesus in the Temple sitting with the teachers. Everyone was amazed at how smart he was. Mary was upset and asked, "Why did you do this? We were so worried!" Jesus answered, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" Mary didn't understand what he meant. Jesus went back home with them and obeyed them.

Why would Jesus Christ, God himself, obey Mary and Joseph? Jesus voluntarily obeyed his parents because that's the natural law, God's law, and he doesn't break his own law. Children must obey their parents because nobody will love them and take care of them as their parents do. We all have obeyed our parents even when we weren't able to understand why they asked us to do or not to do something, and that's okay because parents love their children much more than children love their parents. In that sense, the family replicates in this world the same structure where our Father loves us more than we love him. Moreover, just as children somehow know that obeying is the natural thing to do, they don't always want to do it.

Submitting to God, our loving Father who wants the best for all of us and who sent his son to suffer and die for us, should simply be natural, but we fail to do it miserably again and again. The same happens with our sisters. If you met a good man, one that you are in love with, someone who loves you and wanted to marry you and form a family with you and make you happy, shouldn't it be natural to submit to him? I mean, all men know that women have virtues and vices different from theirs and they all know that women have been given what they don't have. However, many women believe they are like men and that men haven't received anything special, so why would a woman submit to her husband? But the reality is that leadership is more natural in men and submission to their husbands is also natural in women. In the same way that wives feel unhappy when their husbands refuse to lead, men feel unhappy when their wives don't follow them.

There is also a lack of trust. What if I submit to my husband and he loses his path? Or he becomes irresponsible or leads the family to ruin? What if he becomes a bad model for my children?

In the same way that you submitted voluntarily because you trusted him, once it is clear that you can no longer trust him anymore, you don't have to submit to him anymore in order to save your household. That's what Abigail's story is about, and God sees it as good, just as he sees your submission to your husband as good when he is a good man.

A husband who loves his wife would naturally pursue her happiness, and a wife who loves her husband would naturally submit to him. But how? Let us start by helping him to develop his role as the authority of the family and as the priest of the family. Let him sit at the head of the table, let him start the prayer, let him have the final decision and support it. Correct him with love when he makes a mistake, hold him when he stumbles, and ask him all what you need to fulfill your role as mather of the family.

Unfortunately my multi month experiment with red rice yeast extract has yielded no discernible improvement to my cholesterol levels.

Now I'm starting a multi month experiment with nattokinase to see if it has any measurable effect.

Your sexual desires are biological imperatives to have children. Abstracting or rationalizing that away is a denial of your humanity.

I'm not trying to be a jerk... I just want to get to the heart of the issue.

If Bitcoiners and Bitcoin companies persistently don't want to spend much (if any) of their bitcoin to help pay for large conferences--but crypto companies generally do--maybe there is a lesson to learned.

What is the value-for-value proposition?

I think that Bitcoiners and Bitcoin companies are probably better served by supporting new and improved Bitcoin infrastructure... as a genuine (and better) alternative to the existing fiat-based monetary and financial system.

Meanwhile, since proof of stake (PoS) crypto is simply an extension of the existing PoS fiat system, it is likely best served by marketing to the largest players, politicians, and honeypots within the existing fiat system.

Comments?

Never heard of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC).

Learning about it now.

Sounds fishy...

Here's to all the queens who hold their own keys.

A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.

In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.

I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.

I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.

I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.

So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they didn’t understand bitcoin or the market or even basic budgeting.

When people would make fun of me I would tell them why I was doing what I was doing. Then I would start peppering them with questions about their financial life.

“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”

“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”

People would generally go from laughing at me riding the moped to feeling shell shocked by me popping their bubble of comfortable delusion.

Still I drove the moped and everyone thought I was being weird and ridiculous and silly etc…

At 100k that decision was worth a million dollars.

At a million it will have been worth 10 million.

And at 10 million it will have been a nine figure decision.

100 million dollars.

I only rode the stupid moped for 8 months.

Ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for 10 million in the future?

Because there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.

My advice is to have your own moped moment.

Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.

I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

It’s important to have something to look forward to.

For example, I’m looking forward to million dollar bitcoin next year.

What’re you looking forward to?
