I listen to my wife... now anyway. In the beginning I didn’t as much but she has great ideas. Anyway, I take lead on investments, car purchases, financing, job moves, many of the purchases such as appliances. My wife takes lead on decisions regarding the children, food, pets, schools, furnishings, etc. We lead by our strengths as a team. We also give input to each other and can throw a veto vote but that is very rare and I am not sure that has happened since I put given is taken seriously.
I like the Chinese Foo Dogs, or lions. The female protects the inside of the house & inhabitants and the male protects the outside of the house. This is how it is with us as well and hundreds or thousand of years in China with the Foo Dogs symbols.
Input not I put. *
Not as much should, as they naturally are in the greatest majority.
But yes, from a Christian perspective women are to submit to their husbands, which isn't to say they're to be mindless slaves, but God ordained men the leaders, and that of course places much responsibility on the man to live up to that. Many men today may not be worthy of that distinction and thus aren't deserving of a wife who submits.
I married a woman who was a submissive in a BDSM sense but that was bedroom only and only for as long as we both wanted it that way. Marriage is supposed to be a union of equals and all that 'women should be submissive in marriage' shit is just mysogyny from insecure men who just want to replace their mommy
Defenatley not, unless you want society to become something like Afghanistan.
Submissive women can't do anything on their own, they're like children who need permission for everything and when their husband dies they're just lost because they can do nothing on their own. Submissive in bed is another thing and it depends on the couple's preference
My opinion, depends on the woman if she likes being bossed around like my girlfriend then kudos to you, if you dont like that than ok idc lice your life. Now i do believe that if the man supports the family he should have some gratitude from his family, not saying sex but depending on the job a laid back time at home or at least the easiest jobs
That's crazy! A relationship is a partnership. Everything should be up for discussion not one person dictates to the other.
I agree
I think that someone needs to have the last say sometimes. But the issue for me is I need go trust they are gonna as make a good decision for me as a well as him. I. Pretty dominant and aggressive but I do give my husband respect and ask him things to make it seem like he is in control
I think its good for a wife to act submissively like standing next to me close for safety and stuff like that but they can't be spineless. I still want my wife to shout at me if i do something stupid and pick what movie we r watching and stuff like that. I personally do prefer having a submissive girl but i need her to be able to stand on her own two feet if u know what i mean
To an extent. You don't have to bend over backwards and not add in your opinion at all, but the marriage works out better if niether spouse acts like they don't need permission from the other on anything at all, or if they can't share opinions on something. Meet in the middle.
There’s a certain perspective which would reveal that submission is just another form of power. Don’t ask me to explain it but there is a way to see it like that.
Similar to the way that society tends to label femininity as weak, when in reality femininity is actually very strong, just in a different way from masculinity. Submission has power as well.
Not that I think women should be submissive to the husband. I haven’t looked that deep into this subject.
I personally don’t believe in being submissive to a man in marriage, but whatever rocks anyone else’s boats I cannot decide for others. But for me over my dead body I’d rather not get married at all than throw all my independence out the window because of a husband and yes rape does exist in marriage because we’re married doesn’t mean you own my body
I have converted anyone I've ever dated into a sub and we had a handful of rules. 1st sex on demand for both parties, exceptions made on occasion. Second meet the 3 Fs 1) Food 2) Frack me 3) Fix up the House. Dont get aggressive with me or raise your voice. Ill love you but I dont demand your love in return , I hope for it. I do demand your respect. If its a dealbreaker... Walk. That simple
I don't think submission is a bad thing when it comes to a healthy relationship. It can be a great dynamic if both sides respect each other and allow the other part to make their own decisions and have some freedom. I guess it depends on the degree of submission you're talking about. I'd gladly be a housewife and do anything for my fiancee, so I guess you can count that as some type of submission. We have a lot of trust on each other and he is always making sure I'm happy and safe. On the other hand, I find utterly disgusting to make someone have sex with you if she doesn't want to, or force her in any way.
Here I what God says on the matters, depending on your beliefs of course.
My take. I. Knew it was a religious thing they love living in the pass. Back when we where monkey's. As far as a woman pleasing her man in my life I get sex on demand. I always have it's not rape I tell them at the beginning and there ok with it.
As long it’s consensual is fine by me
Exactly. I tell my bitches that whenever I want sex I will give them first opportunity. But the first time they refuse me sex I am going to get it wherever I can.
Pffft, yeah right, let a brother come talk to me about being some submissive. I got some submissive for his ass, he be lucky I dont brick him in the head.
Lmao. Oh thank god I found your posting to get me to laugh here. I thought my head was goona pop off. This is madness. Absolute madness. Ladies, wake up! This is not the Dark Ages. We are equal human beings with brains and we know how to use them. A relationship... a partnership is not a partnership without equality and equal respect! You deserve more. Do not undervalue yourselves!
Well your welcome certainly.
No I don’t. Relationships are about compromise it’s 50/50 both should make decisions together. If husband wants to move to another country but I don’t then we have to compromise and work together.
I agree. Women dominate social spheres more than men. This means that women have the upper hand socially. She must thus be socially submissive to her husband. On the other side men, are submissive to their wives in terms of physical strength.
The latter is absolutely the most normal thing, but then so should the former be.
No I think they should be equal. I grew up in a household where my mom was head of the house so I’m used to the idea of not being submissive. I think having mutual respect and making decisions together is the best bet
To an extent
I believe in traditional relationships
The woman stays home, cooks and cleans while their man goes to work and comes home to a looked after house and food ready etc every day
But not to the extent of saying "you can and can't do this or that"
