If my father had abused me, then I'm sure I would have a big problem being told to "submit" to my H. (Actually, I had a problem with that word, anyhow. I was very relieved when I found out that the better translation of the Greek word was really "respect".) I can also understand why your W would try to control her surroundings and anything in her life. It could be rather scary for her when she started feeling control taken away from her. All of that can be related to her childhood experiences.
To be honest, I felt a bit uncomfortable with the whole 'submit' language as well.

Yes. I bought her a turquoise pendant and matching turquoise earings (blue is her favorite colour). I also got her a cute/funny card (we both really enjoy cute/humorous cards) and signed it:
"To my beautiful wife on our first Anniversary, Love Always, Sam"
I was thinking about adding: "P.S: Hope you like the pendant and earings, I saw them and instantly pictured how good they would look worn by you" but I was afraid that may be too over the top.
What do you think?
