Common misconceptions about what it really means to be submissive. Righteousness is Shellie’s one and only rule in marriage. Shellie uses her writing to flesh out examples of “the perfect storm” to illustrate to couples how they can navigate similar situations in their own marriages We can look to Jesus as the ultimate example of perfect submission because he did exactly what the Father told Him to do.

There is a proper way to view submission so that you don’t misunderstand the purpose or power of it.
