The image that this conjurs up in my mind is this:
A prisoner "surrenders". Not because they want to. They don't have a choice. It's a matter of survival. They can surrender or they can be killed.
In a marriage you "yield". Sometimes you have things that you would rather do, but because your spouse also has things that he/she wants to do, you yield to them because you love them. You want to please them. You want to make things as easy as possible for them. You want their best. So you yield your will and your way in preference to theirs because you love them.
