The peace of surrender--in pictures

Notice the genuine care and concern in the hubby's face and the worried, yet obedient look in hers. She obviously knows that hisis from love and trusts him enough to submit, without argument, to his sentence.

Yes, she's nervous, she clearly doesn't want the pain of a  but she knows she's already given pre-consent so she will obediently allow him to make her feel her vulnerability. 

She doesn't resist his hands dis robing her for her  or being made to display her 

 body in front of her husband.

Instead she obediently puts her hands behind her head to avoid the temptation to resist. She knows her body is his, and he has the right to see it whenever he wants.

I love how he positions her over his left knee a completely helpless position. His right leg pins her down preventing her from trying to flee. His body language is telling her that he is in absolute control of the situation.  She recognizes his control and submits to it. 

Yet he has not pinned her so tightly that she cannot drum the floor with her toes. Husbands often try to keep their wives from struggling, often demanding that they remain stoic and don't even cry or whimper during their. But they do this to their own disadvantage. If she remains stoic and does not respond, then she is still in control of herself, she has not truly yielded all to her man. She can come out of it feeling like she still maintained her dignity. But if she is allowed to struggle, kick and cry, no no avail, then she has nothing held back. Kicking and crying while you know you're completely helpless over his knee is a very humbling thing. Many wives will resist it as long as they can to preserve their dignity. A girl is not fully surrendered and subdued until she has found that even her resistance is futile. 

Her hand flies back in an animal instinct to preserve her stinging but he pins it down without missing a  s w a t, underscoring her helplessness once again. 

Look at those cute little shoes beat against the floor. This poor girl is clearly suffering for her transgression!

Even fully  wives often beg for mercy as the pain gets to the place that they don't think they can handle it anymore. This is also part of surrender. Such pleas must be summarily ignored, and the must go on without hesitation, adding to her sense of helplessness. It is essential that the goes beyond what the wife feels she can handle, or else it will not bring her beyond herself. 

 My husband often uses my pleas as an opportunity to remind me that I'm thegirl, he's the  and I have no say in how hard or how long he  me. of course he keeps s w a t t i n g me the whole time. This makes me feel very .

Look as that poor girl struggle. The pain is real. So is her repentance. She's reacting, not fighting. She's given in. She's surrendered. 

When he finally stops  her, she doesn't struggle to get up. She just meekly lays there over his knee. She awaits his command, and will do nothing until she knows what he wishes her to do. 

 He helps her up onto his lap where she is allowed to cry out all her . He whispers his love into her ear. She feels fully at peace, fully surrendered, freed of her guilt and supremely happy in his care.
