Woman Power?

Question

How many homes have the woman in charge and the man more submissive?how well does it work and how is order kept and enforced?

Answer 1

I think women should be in charge of everything. Men are stupid.

Answer 2

In my home, I try to be in charge but my husband is not crazy about the idea of submissiveness. As a matter of fact the more I enforce the worse things get. The more control I have the more he tries to avoid me. He will play along for a while until I am content but then I realize that he is not happy at all with me or life. I believe the best way to operate a household is when the husband and wife work together as a team. One thing I have learned is that whenever you disrespect your spouse in anyway (through words, actions, gossip, putdowns, etc.,) whether it be in public or private, you will have tension in the house and that is how quarrels and fights begin. You might not agree on morals, belief systems, or the background of your spouse but that doesn't mean that you should disrespect them. Do things for your spouse that you would want them to do for you. Say nice things, do a thoughtful deed for your spouse, pick up after yourself, do the dishes, make your spouse feel secure in who they are, clean the house, put things away in their rightful places, and so forth. Amazing what happens when we are courteous and respectful to our spouse.

Answer 3

Isn't that the way it should be? No just kidding! I was raised where everything is 50/50. Of course when the time came for my parents to make a decision, my mom was usually right. You see, my dad isn't happy unless my mom is happy. And he truly isn't. He loves her sooo much and wants nothing more than to give her the world. My dad takes care of the bills and together they make the big decisions. He is usually pretty agreeable. If he disagrees, than he will let her know why and they will go from there, but it is usually what my mom wants, my mom gets. They have a great relationship and after 30 years of marriage, are happier than when they were first married. It makes me so happy to see them still so in love.

Answer 4

Well, I have let my wife exercise a dominant role in our household since our kids are grown and out of the house. And, yes, I did say LET her exercise a dominant role since that is not what either of us wanted, but a severe accident on the job allowed me to "turn the controls over" to her for a while, and I've enjoyed her doing so because she enjoys it, even if she denies it, and it frees me up to live a more relaxed lifestyle, and I am sure that, at any time I want, those reigns of power can and will be back in my hands, and she is fully aware of it and welcomes that situation. I've ditched some "bossy bitches" in my life, and I won't have that sheeiiitttttttttttttttttttttttt in my life again. God Bless you.

Answer 5

Order kept or enforced? Why does there have to be order enforced? My mom makes more money then my dad, but there is no one "in charge." I guess I don't fully understand "Power. In my house it is more "Equality."

Answer 6

my wife and I are in charge... depend on what we good at the house? Bills, Kids, Dinner, Clean, etc. I believe that it take two people to do take charge in the house. not just one.

we have been doing this for 9 years now and no plm.. I try to take charge didnt work and my wife tries it too didn't work... then we try it together and it really helps like team work. who cares about who in charge in the house. ...

Answer 7

A woman should not be in charge of the home. If a man let her then he is no holding up his end of the relationship.

Answer 8

A marrage is suppose to be 50/50 not one controls the other. You might as well go back to the cave days if that's the case.

Answer 9

im in charge at my home, but im not the boss. I feel more comfortable with me taking care of things and letting him slide through life as he wishes. This situation works well for us and has for the last five years. i would not reccommend it for everyone

Answer 10

My sister has a dominant role in her family and I don't like to see it. Her old man is not so much submissive as dismissive. He allows her to do whatever she wants and doesn't put up much of a reaction even if he disagrees.

Answer 11

My husband and I both make money, so in a way we both are equal, but I have the sweet stuff he likes and will do whatever for it. Pretty much you reward your partner for doing good deeds with some sweetness :) So I pretty much hold the cards, but is a team effort to get the jobs done, especially if you have two kids.
