The difference being that he lets her know frequently that this is the case and generally puts her into the submissive position of an Adult/Child style relationship.<br /><br />Women just generally seem to like a man with the confidence to lead, organize and give orders. <br /><br />Of course there are exceptions but they are just that, exceptions not the rule.<br /><br />I don't see anything demeaning to either party in this. It's a Yin-Yang dichotomy with each side complimenting the other.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-5817695432752341992012-10-02T00:05:59.230+10:002012-10-02T00:05:59.230+10:00As someone on conservative reddit channel, "l...As someone on conservative reddit channel, "liberal people have liberal views of marriage." <br /><br />I think the big difference is that Christians are told in the Bible that we should basically try to out honor our spouse and to hold nothing back, taking the self-sacrifice to a whole new level, whereas the liberal view is that marriage is simply a contract about 2 greedy individuals that want something they can't get on their own. Of course, since they can't get it on their own, i.e you can't be a woman and spontaneously become pregnant unless it's by God of course, and thus this rustles their jimmies about the whole autonomy theory. <br /><br />The reason it bothers them so much is because if someone has to rely on someone else to give them something such as children, security, or love, it means that the first person has to realize that there are differences which are innate between the sexes. <br /><br /><br />I'm really glad God blessed me with my fiancee, we talked about divorce and both share the view that marriage is a permanent contract only to be broken by death. We believe that marriage is not a 50/50 split, but an ever increasing effort to out do the other, for example I'll show her honor by bringing flowers home just to see her happy, or clean the house before she comes home from a hard day of work. Now, some may bring up the whole wife working thing, I feel that it doesn't apply to her because she's going to own her own preschool which is more hard work than some corporate office banging away on a keyboard; don't get me wrong, I'll be working as well as a web developer. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-2711736347459734852012-10-01T19:56:51.817+10:002012-10-01T19:56:51.817+10:00Spirited discussion here:
