I just think its out of order for a woman to be running the show.... The wife has enough responsibilities....Its more important to me to make sure my family has dinners together every night and prays together....than to try to be in control all the time..
But again...I am a bit traditional....and I really do not expect anyone on this board to agree with me....I am a traditional thinker amongst a lot of so called "independent" women....so I know my thoughts are a bit "out there" to some...

Thanks for the feedback Love_Spell,
I guess that I am just not terribly traditional at all b/c, for instance (referring to your response), I don't necessarily see it as the woman's role to get food on the table each night and focus on things such as prayer. If my husband is a better cook, he is more than welcome to that position and I would not be offended.
For me, it's about achieving the best end. If my husband knows diddly squat about something but he is making the final decision just b/c he is the man, to me, that's not wise. I know that in financial matters, for instance, I would gladly just tell my husband to run with things b/c I'm not terribly knowledgeable in this area (am trying to get better). I would assume that he would want to relinquish the same to me.
Thanks for the convo,
