Should the man or woman lead the relationship?

Question

In terms of "driving" the relationship forward from dating to marriage?

JackSmy · Accepted Answer

Why does either have to be the 'lead'? I assume she is my equal, and she is not 'mine,' but we are 'together'! I don't 'own' her, or control her!! That makes me SICK!!
She is a PERSON, and we share a relationship, a partnership, and she is at least my equal! Why is that so hard for so many to comprehend?

Assuming they're "leading" and not "dictating", whoever has the more dominant personality. That's usually going to be the man, but not always. There's probably going to be some switching around in most relationships, too; it's not usually a purely one-sided thing.

Ideally they should lead it together. I feel like the ones in which women lead, lead to marriage however. The ones men lead don’t lead to much in my opinion.

Add a 'both drive it equally' and then I could vote. But as it is, no.

I think the man should lead most of the time. Many men want to do that anyway. He still needs to have enough respect for the woman he's with to know when to get out of the way. A man shouldn't have to feel like he has to lead 100% of the time.

Either or both. Depends on the couple and whatever suits them.

Depends on the individuals in the relationship. But most men prefer to lead and most women prefer the man to lead. It's just natural since most men are dominant and most women are submissive.

Either one is fine although women often have ulterior motives for getting married that men don't have, like $$$$.
