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,

I dont believe I said it is the woman's role to get the food on the table...and to pray...I said that is what
I would be more concerned with instead of trying to run the house....and any man I married hopefully would be equally as concerned...but I wouldn't have the other responsibilites tha he had....I think you're taking issue with things that I am not saying....of course if a man has never balanced a checkbook in his life...he's not going to be the one doing it when he gets married....
what I am saying is that the man should have the final say when decisions need to be made and there is disagreement...Like someone said...the man is the head...and the woman is the neck...it indeed is a partnership..but someone will have to give in at some point....and if the woman is leading in certain areas...it should be a result of mutual agreement that that is the way it should be done....not because
SHE decided it was the best way...
