The Roles of Husbands and Wives

[TripleB]

What you've written sounds very much like the poo poo we heard in
pre-cana (sp?) the Catholic church preaches prior to a church wedding. That the man should make the decisions and the woman should be respectful and nod her head.

I do believe that one partner could become bitter if they are always the compromising partner. But in a healthy marriage, most partners generally have similar opinions views, and goals, and that is what brought them together in the first place.

IMO, one partner always taking the lead in decision making is akin to a monarchy and ultimately lead to an uprising.

Mrs. TripleB must have skipped that class.

Marriage is a partnership and each partner brings strengths to that marriage. As a divorcee who's actually about to get married a second time , I can say that a partnership works only when both parties are willing to work, work, work at it.
Sometimes, a family is better with only one primary parent. I've seen a lot of single moms/dads doing great jobs with their households and children.

I think I heard it said best by Rabbi [SIZE=-1]Shmuley from the show Shalom in the Home, "Marriage isn't 50/50, it's 100/100. Both people must give 100%."

let your eyes closely follow the moving watch. Your eyes are growing sleepy...

seems to me that the people in your discussion groups, if fighting after discussing the details of what makes a good marriage, might not be qualified to speak on the subject.

Dear Mr. Joe,

Shouldn't you be trying to give some property away?

My wife told me to tell y'all that our marriage is 50/50. (0/100 for about 3 days a month).

I think that sometimes couples get along better if they don't actually live together!
