It is important to note that the term "submissive woman" can have different meanings depending on the context. However, in the context of BDSM, female submission or femsub is an activity or relationship in which a woman submits to the direction of a sexual partner or has her body used sexually by or for the sexual pleasure of her partner. Submission usually involves a degree of trust by the woman in her partner, and the dominant partner is usually a man, but can also be another woman, or there can be multiple dominant partners simultaneously. It is important to note that submission to such activity is usually voluntarily and consensual.

In the context of marriage, being a submissive wife does not mean being a slave or doing everything that the husband tells her to do. Instead, it is a voluntary action by the wife to act under her husbands authority and please him, just as Christians are to act under Gods authority. Being submissive to a husband means supporting his decisions even when you dont agree, following his spiritual lead, and having a heart toward satisfying him. It is important to note that submissiveness is not timidity, servility, subservience, docility, or degrading, and it is not a sign of weakness. Instead, it is a sign of strength, and a greater degree of submission requires a greater degree of strength of personal character.

In general, being a submissive woman means being ready to conform to the authority or will of others, meekly obedient or passive. However, it is important to note that every person and relationship is different, and standard behaviors of submissive women can include never disagreeing with their partner in public or in front of the children, not pursuing a career outside of the home, talking very softly, never making tough decisions, and conforming with everything their partner prefers. It is important to note that being a submissive wife or partner can be good or bad depending on ones worldview and socio-cultural realities.
