Don't worry about the people who don't like you when you treat your husband well or pursue excellence in any area of your life. They don't like the pressure that your example puts on them but that isn't your problem.
Being submissive leads to a husband gaining confidence and developing leadership skills and experience. It's how we help.
If men don't get encouragement from their wives, where exactly will they get it?
At work? Among his peers? In society? In the media?
Be in his corner.

Hello Sister Wynona, Thank you. We are happy to hear from you. Our faith in the Father and Yeshua/Christ brings Joy, and works together as a team.
Love always, Walter And Debbie
If I am wanting to be a great person, it's because my husband is even better.
He challenges me to be results minded and stick to working on my goals until I achieve them. He inspires me to never complain and to do things because they need to be done and not for praise.
He does not use his God given rule at my expense but rather sacrifices himself through hard work and making sure the family and I get things first.
His example leads in itself and when I think of what he's done for me, Im humbled.
He wanted to be a reliable, generous patriarch and he is achieving that dream.
Wives, always believe great things about your husband and act accordingly. Respect them, be submissive to them, and speak well of him to your friends and family. You reap what you sow.

One trait my husband desires the most in me is whimsy or playfulness. You allow, rather than force whimsy. But it also comes from having enough discipline to do your duties well enough that you aren't too stressed for whimsy.
Build up your man as a wife. Focus on the good in him. Otherwise, where will he get built up as a man?
At his job?
At his School?
With his friends?
In Movies and TV?
Tell him what he does right and what he does well. Encourage him. Be the one that believes in him.

Don't worry about "me time" and how your going to fill your own cup. Put your heart into the service of others and God will give you what you need when you need it.
Shopping has had a hold on me since I was a child. No more. I've stopped my personal shopping habit completely.
Use it up. Wear it out. Make do or do without.
I don't want to have that habit because I want to help my husband leave an inheritance for our children's children, not crates full of junk for them to go through.

You don't have to worry about "me time." At all.
I used to waste time worrying about it. "When do I get a break so I could focus on what I need and want vs my family? If I serve too much as a wife and Mom, won't I burn out?"
Im a housewife with two under three and my husband works 50+ hours trucking. There's a lot to deal with at times, especially if the little ones are sick.
But I've learned that I don't have to worry. God will take care of our needs as we serve faithfully. If I need rest, God provides that. And I trust that even as there are seasons with more pressure God knows what he's doing.
There's a quote that goes something like, "Nothing feels sacrificial when you realize nothing belongs to you."
Time is one of those things. If you work hard serving God and your family (not people pleasing---that is exhausting), you won't truly lose anything except your selfishness.
