I've been told that men have a deep-seeded emotional need to be 'the man of the house' and take care of his responsbilities, up to and including being the main breadwinner etc.
My question is, does it bother you when your wife won't give in to you on little things? Is it a problem to have a wife that challanges you and won't give in on ANYTHING unless she agrees with you?

Yes. You can give your opinion, and you don't have to give in all the time but let him do his thing. If you can't give up control it may not work out, then look for a wimpy man you can boss around.

Selective hearing has been defined by the psychobabble culture as "passive-aggressive".. Relationships have taken it in the sh&tter since the women's movement. Divorce rates have risen dramatically, children born out of wedlock, abortions, all have a direct correlation to women's deliterious desire for what the perceive to be equality. Equality existed prior to the women's movement in relationships more so then today. Culturally the assumed role was women stay at home and raised the children.
My wife does work outside the home and we co-parent. We have to.. Raising capable children in spite of society is a challenge. I generally do what I need to do irregardless, I was a bachelor into my 30s, so I didn't think I would get away with pushing household chores off on her since I'd been doing my own for years prior to getting married.
I think the biggest problem with both parents working is in the 1st 5 to 6 years of a child's life. Kids shuffled off to daycare for all the propaganda driven to promote is detrimental to a child just being a child. I feel with all my being one of us should have stayed home with our children and trudged through the financial stuff differently. Your children are only young once.

Yes, it bothers me.
We as men have the responsibility to control house. As we know, men use logic more than women. It needs logic to control a house (a marriage). But, this doesn't mean women must always be obeyed to her husband. Women also human and they can think also. Women can give suggestions to their husband. And for some occassion, women must lead the way.
But, the highest principle that man and woman need to hold is 'right is right' and 'wrong is wrong'. If the husband as 'the man of the house' is doing something wrong, the wife should or must confront him for the sake of him and the family.

I am not a man but what bothers me is when men want to be the man only when it is convenient for him. Then you left the wife do the mans job. Like mowing the yard, taking out the trash, ect... If you want to be the man of the house then act like it all the time not just when it is convenient.

I am woman and married we live our lives the old fashion way, He is the man of this house, and he is a man, he provides for his family and that's fine with me. I love the fact that he care enough that it gives him pleasure to be head of the home. I'm not saying that he is controlling, he isn't, we are older so we see things different than the younger generation. this just works for us. I believe men, want to be the bread winner, this is only my opinion. married 13 yrs. and very happily.

the traditional separation of roles in marriage has been blurred.

the marriage seems to be strained.
its not really natural.
