See LoveSpell, this is what I don't understand. What does appearing to "run the household" have to do with a man being a man? In my mind, being a man includes the qualities of humility and wisdom. If my man is wise and he recognizes that I should be running the show on matter x and he is humble enough to admit this to himself and me, then he is a man. To me, a man is not one who must be made to *feel* as if he is in charge if/when he really is not. It's my opinion, that a man is not one to put his ego into play like that.

I just believe the man is supposed to be the head of the household....and actually...I'm not going to fight to over take that responsibility. Its not an easy job... I will give my opinion...and he will take that into account....but in the end its his decision...if its right its right if its wrong its wrong..... but if he makes a decision I dont agree with...I think its my duty to support him and help him see things from a different perspective...not say oh i can do it better. 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...
