Interesting thread.
I am Jewish, as is my husband. There's nothing in the Jewish wedding ceremony that makes a wife promise to obey her husband. (And anyone who knows a Jewish woman knows we don't obey our husbands!
)
I believe that two people who choose to become a family unit should be equal in all things and should share the responsibilities of "head of household" equally. Marriage is about partnership, not who's submitting to whom.
A marriage consists of a master, a mistress, and two slaves... making, in all, two.
