>And that men are to treat their wives as they treat their own bodies, which they don’t abuse but nurture and care for.
Is it abuse when a child is spanked by it’s father? It is not.
>There’s a back and forth dynamic there and men are responsible to lead and have abdicated that role.
The state has made it illegal for men to lead through normal means. How can you twist what the men with guns force husbands to do into all men abdicating the role? Men have no choice in this age.
>Or they turn into little petty tyrants in the home, demanding submission and the wife walks around on eggshells hoping to not tick him off so he doesn’t blow a gasket at her.
I’ve never seen this type of relationship in real life. I suspect it doesn’t exist.
>It’s a rare couple I’ve met who are so compatible that they say they don’t have any problems.
There are few problems when people assume the correct roles. I’ve looked at tons of arranged marriages where compatibility was even considered before the people where hitched and as long as people assumed the correct roles the marriages was excellent.
>The rest who stay together are just mature enough to have figured out how to work through it TOGETHER.
My parents marriage got a hundred times better when my mother just decided to submit and obey. My Dad didn’t change at all nor did they work through anything. She assume the role God gave her and things started functioning better. My Father naturally become more dominate and commanding as he no longer had to fight my Mother.
>Not he commands and she submits.
Do you think command is easy? Command is hell. All the responsibility for the outcomes sits on your shoulders and you have to make good decisions that work out for everyone. It’s not fun. But it’s the role God has given to man just as it’s the women’s role to submit and obey her husband. Outside of these roles is the death of a marriage.
Well, I have and the women are TERRIFIED of their husbands.
The one poor women I remember well. She was a wreck when in his presence, which was very overbearing and disapproving. All he'd have to do was shoot her a look and she cowed.
I don't think he had a clue how obvious it was.
