btw...I am not trying to pick a fight..maybe my first reply was too harsh...I’m sorry
I have had strong women in my 52 years...strident very opinionated women...my mom was one..southern style....I learned from that experience I prefer more feminie subtle women..like my wife (usually unless she drinks Cointreau)
When i say they need strong men...they do. I don’t mean it condescending.
But women who take the Biblical instruction for marriage and man-wife relationships are not fairly pigeonholed by comments like yours.
Life is too short for spouses to compete and they do have roles to play.
that’s what I’ve learned anyhow...5 kids(2-21) and 52 years later....
i think married couples used to have more sex according to studies I’ve seen...in those bad old days...in my view they got that part right
My husband and I have a complicated relationship to some, but simple to us. I acknowledge him as the spiritual head of our home and would never disrepect him in public or do anything that I know that he would really hate.
But he knows that I don’t tolerate violence against my person, even in play.
He LIKES that I’m opinionated - we have great arguments/discussions and says he would have me no other way.
Seeing as we’ve been married for 25 years, I’d say it’s working
As far as picking a fight, meh....my skin’s not that thin. My theory is if I can’t take it, I shouldn’t be dishing it out. But I do get a lot of joy watching how men react to a strong, opinonated woman.
Please note though, I’ve NEVER called anyone another name during this thread. I stated my opinion, and stood my ground whilst others called me names
So, who’s the lady and who’s the gentleman?
