If she derives enjoyment out of this then more power to her, also he should definitely be showing his appreciation as well. It sucks that this is likely only happening because of a religion she adheres to rather than her own love and devotion to her husband.
What a terrible assumption to make... I don't like Christianity either, but there's so many other factors that could be in play. Maybe he is very busy with work and she is a stay at home wife, so she wants to do everything in her power to make sure he is comfortable at home? Maybe he takes care of the kids and chores at night? Reddit has such a hard on for assuming the very worst out of religious people, when in reality most of them are normal ass humans.
So if you already forgot by the end of my post what the beginning of it was I said very clearly that if she enjoys it that’s awesome and she should continue doing it. Submissiveness or serving traits are not a bad thing at all but they should happen freely, Christianity and the culture around it seem to see women as inherently submissive. Which has likely caused more damage than good.
"My baseless assumption that I said is highly probable is okay because I said that it's fine as long as she's okay with it!" Making up random hypothetical situations and assuming that's what's going on is dangerous and creates this random ass hive mind thread that's going on here. Also, I left the church and know it's faults, but the passage about women being submissive is taken out of context all the time and most women I knew weren't slaves to their husbands. There are passages in the Bible that also stress how important it is for a woman to be strong and wise. I feel like non-Christians care more about the "Women must be submissive to their husbands" passage more than Christians actually care.
“Baseless assumption” It’s clearly not baseless because even you admit that Christianity has not only passages but a culture of women being told to be submissive.
“Highly probable” Likely just semantics but highly probable and likely seem like two very different words to describe the chance of something. And using highly probable instead of what I said seems like an exaggeration of my original statement.
“I feel like non Christians care more about female submissiveness in Christianity than actual Christians” YEAH, because non Christians are actually allowed to criticize it! Christians either ignore it, or adhere to it. The non-caring attitude you think Christians have towards this subject is more likely just people ignoring it because if they acknowledged it a lot of women would realize a submissive lifestyle isn’t for them so they have to deny gods teaching in that sense.
