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.jamesrbrown wrote:This is awesome we get to chat about marriage issues using Faramir and Éowyn as our examples. 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.
In any case, nice call out about Faramir and Eowyn.
