The Submissive Wife | Instruction

Obedience.

ecause of our belief in the value of experience, and our conviction that experience precedes understanding, requiring obedience to carefully constructed disciplines is not only a useful way to help in a woman’s formation, but also often the most effective way to keep her safe during the exploration of limits that is necessarily a part of this process. Many of the project’s disciplines are sexual and rather intrusive. Learning how to obey and how to be trustworthy in obedience is absolutely essential to our understanding of what it is to be a submissive woman. And as many of us have discovered, it’s also essential to finding that kind of peaceful acceptance and satisfaction all of us crave at one time or another.

“A year ago, if anybody had told me that i would not only do [this], but that i would be happy i had done exactly what I had been told to do, i would have told them they were insane. What a long way i’ve come—in more ways than one.”--tina

“…the biggest surprise of all is that being obedient makes me really, really happy.” – emilie

“I am still amazed by my need to obey. I am starting to stop questioning it and simply accept it. It’s like there’s a battle going on in my head. The self that I’ve been all my life is battling with the self I know I need to be. Thank you for having the patience and knowledge to help me win this battle. I know I couldn’t do it all by myself.”—bonnie

“i was thinking today and remembering how very afraid i was in the very beginning. i can’t even remember exactly when that was now...seems a long time ago but yet i can still remember some of those feelings. i had an overwhelming need and desire to trust, but it took me a long time to really do so. i didn’t trust myself. Or, maybe i was afraid to trust myself to be obedient? Whichever, i am so glad i did in the end.”--rachel
