Episode notes

I don't think that me submitting to her vision for her career takes away from me being masculine. Masculine men do what they want to do, regardless of what anybody thinks. When it comes to romantic relationships, the concept in a healthy one is to be stronger together. So we are- Wait, when you're in a relationship, it's an opportunity for achievement. And that is why I'm in my relationship. You just nailed it right there. What's that thing called again? Self-expansion theory.

Let’s talk about submission! My fav definition of this comes from Hafeez who simply said to submit is to sub (be underneath) another person’s mission. Now, one of the main purposes of romantic relationships is to be stronger together - a concept we’ve gone into before when we discussed self expansion theory on episode 4 featuring Jeannie Mai. The Self expansion theory states that the best way to expand, together, is to take stock of each other’s strengths, then create a dynamic that aligns with that reality.

But what happens when in the end of this audit, you realize that your strengths fall outside of traditional gender roles? And furthermore you realize that the man’s strengths are perfectly suited to aid in the woman’s success? How does it work and furthermore CAN it work when a man realizes his partner’s potential and then makes her mission, his main mission? That’s what we are going to be talking about on this episode featuring Jade Novah and Devin Johnson.
