I am sure we agree more than you think, but make no mistake, I try very hard to be my wife's butler, and provider, and encourager, and anything else she needs. I often do sacrifice my own desires to satisfy hers. In return, she does the same for me. In fact, she has probably done more for me than I for her. As you say, we work together at it. Mutual love and respect. Mutual submission. Not perfect, but growing toward perfect kindness and oneness.
It is about service, in the same sense that Sam served Frodo, out of love and devotion. It is not about one person being inferior to another.

In any case, nice call out about Faramir and Eowyn.

Awesome call, jamesrbrown!!!

That is, by far, my favourite chapter in the whole book.
Maybe even better than Beren and Luthien in The Silmarillion, for all said reasons and many others.
And yes, it somehow had a part in getting involved with my lady, eleven years ago.
Oh, each time I read it my eyes go wet!
