An Owned Couple: The Beginning

It was about a week after the Marriage Enrichment weekend. The pastor/counselor was doing follow up sessions with each of the couples who had attended. He had decided to save the best for last.

Tom and Jan had been married about 10 years and in the last year had finally admitted to each other that things had never really been fulfilling in the bedroom and it was affecting all aspects of their relationship. They had high hopes for the weekend away with other couples looking to redicover what was missing in their respective marriages.

Once settled in the pastor's study, Reverend Garrison began by showing them the results of the questionnaire they had completed during the retreat. As they finished reading the summary, he told them they were a very special couple. He even confided in them that had been the couple he had been most interested in that weekend and he would like to continue seeing them.

He went on to tell them their answers to the questions strongly indicated that they were both submissive personalities. He told Jan that she probably wanted to be told what to do by a firm, strong man. She blushed a deep crimson and couldn't look at the Reverend as he spoke those to her in no uncertain terms. Somewhere deep inside, she liked how it made her feel.

Tom shifted nervously as the Reverend addressed him next. "And you, Tom, you are what is known as a beta male. Nothing at all wrong with that you understand. It just means that you have submissive tendencies, too. You're a lot like your sweet wife here. You would prefer to be told what to do as well. Both of you need to be. . .um. . .instructed, shall we say. Pardon me for being so blunt here, but it's quite evident that you both need to feel dominated to achieve the satisfaction you both deserve and need so desperately."

Reverend Garrison paused, then added, "I have no doubt I can help you two get everything you need. Perhaps we might consider another marriage enrichment weekend away, but this time just the three of us."

And, so it began. . .
Great idea and nice start
 
A good plot that can be taken many places. However the second to last line isn't a dominant line.

"I have no doubt I can help you two get everything you need. Perhaps we might consider another marriage enrichment weekend away, but this time just the three of us"

Wouldn't a more dominant approach such as:

I'm going to help you two get everything you need. The three of us are going on another marriage enrichment weekend next weekend....." etc.

Words underlined represent non-dominant words, wishy-washy if you like. :D
I understand your idea here but... Since the story is supposed to enfold over a period of time, I don't have a problem with the future dom doing a 'soft sell' approach at that point of the story. It gives the characters a choice at the very beginning.

And allows some conversation between the couple before they commit to another session - along with some internal dialog that would move the story along. As the story progresses the Reverend becomes more commanding - as the couple's submission to him and his authority becomes deeper.

I'd also guess that the wife will in most cases submit to the dom's authority more naturally - perhaps the husband struggles a few times but after 'counseling' from the Reverend realizes his place is one that he actually feels at peace with?
 
Five year old thread bumped for no apparent reason, but yeah, that was my thought. The velvet schmooze to get them into the fold to begin with with before the harder approach.
 
Don't know what happened to the author because the story never got written. His list is blank.
 
Wishy washy words, delivered a certain was can be stronger than strong words.
This is true. Structured statements with specfic wording can, and often does strongly influence individuals with a submissive personality. This is technique is called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Many law enforcement organizations train their officers, detectives and agents in NLP techniques for use when interviewing suspects and witnesses.

Another technique called Fractionation and Anchoring. These are two of the many mind controls that have been developed by various organizations and may provide a more interesting plot than the vanilla dominance personality.

It may influence them, but does it MAKE them do things? Immediately?
Law enforcement counts on long time durations till the perp is tired and open to suggestion.

When expertly used it can make a person question their own memory and actually believe the police are right and begin to believe they committed the crime. So, to answer your question, if the person has a submissive personality yes, under the right conditions it can MAKE a person comply when certaintrigger words are spoken.

Wearing a suspect down is not the same thing as inducing a mild trance to control their thinking. You should do some research on mind control. It is quite chilling to discover how powerful it is, the different techniques and how often the U.S. government has employed those techniques against American citizens. You might also learn that your memory is not reliable!

I recognize all of the above when time is applied. But a truly submissive person will respond instantly to the right push. I've seen it happen.

Sadly, anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist who uses gas lighting as a means of control understands this. It is a lot harder in a relationship because of the expected intimacy, but with law enforcement it is very easy to deal with... at least here in the United States with our Bill of Rights. I just ask for an attorney to be present any time law enforcement approaches about anything of importance (not a traffic stop for instance).

It's not disrespect. As you note; they are trained in this, and I am not.

A few years ago a law enforcement officer approached me about having to appear before the grand jury. He was all nicey-nicey about it, but three times I told him I wanted my attorney before speaking. Nothing became of it for that misstep and a warrantless search later, but that is the best way to handle that.

It's sad times, but it is 2023, and as I get older, I refer more and more to my attorneys.

But the premise of the story, missed because it is 5 years old granted, is a very good one. We have marriage clinics like this at our church...
