If you look at how marriage was setup women were not put in the finding role but in the accepting role.
[b]In conclusion when men and women understand their roles in relationships the outcome is a lot clearer and easier to obtain. We as men have forgotten our place and ladies you have decided since we can't figure it out you will take over, and sorry to say it does not work. [b]

Roles according to who? The religious right? If this works for you and your wife cool..

That's Biblical. It's the man's job to take care of his wife. It's not her job to take care of him. Women aren't designed to take on the load. Women get frustrated and stressed when she feels she has to take on the load. I agree with you all the way. In a marriage a woman has the option if she wants to work or not. I know this sounds crazy but if she doesn't want to work, then the joker she's with needs to do what he's gotta do to make ends meet. Now, of course if she does want to work then that's always a blessing, but she doesn't have to. That's all I've ever seen my dad do, was lead the family. Sons are going to do what they see their fathers do. I was raised to lead. The problem is finding a woman who wants to be led. Today's women say "I can take care of myself. I don't need a man to take care of me." That's part of the problem. Any man that lets his woman lead him, in my book is one sorry poor excuse for a man.
The Bible says wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands. It also says submit yourselves to one another. That doesn't mean for the man to submit to her lead, it means he is to submit to her needs, and she will submit to his lead.

See, this is where I have a problem. I don’t let a book run my life. Say what you want but I know exactly why I'm single and this is the root. I'm too much of an individualist esp. when it comes to religion. I got into it yesterday on my date about this very topic. Men and women
can lead each other equally but because of society rules (Christian), women feel like they have to be subservient, on all levels. Sorry, I can’t do that.
As far as Im concerned, we MUST walk side by side.
